Naughty Photos Get Man In Deep Ca-Ca

Two years ago, Paul Poupart took a few pictures of a young woman named Jessica- who was drunk- posed on a Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Sheriff cruiser. In the presence was a sheriff's deputy, Steve Higgerson, of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. And now, Poupart is in deep shit with the Sheriff, citing the allegation that Poupart had set Higgerson up. But Poupart says that Higgerson never told Jessica to get off the car, and never warned Poupart to stop taking pictures from his cell phone camera. But still, the sheriff's office wants to put Poupart in jail over the pictures.

Am I missing something here? A man takes provocative photos of his drunk female friend, posing with legs spread wide open on a police cruiser, and a deputy just fucking stand there. And the office wants the photographer behind bars because it thinks that the guy is trying to, say, blackmail them or act in retaliation. I'm not getting this. The way I'm seeing this is that the whole damn matter needs to be left alone. The man did nothing wrong- otherwise Deputy Higgerson would have arrested Poupart when Poupart first took the pictures. In other words, the sheriff's office is run by a bunch of paranoid idiots, who obviously have a lot of time on their hands- even as they're in a large metropolitan area.
