2 arrested over skateboarding on interstate

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) — Police on Thursday arrested a 26-year-old man accused of skateboarding on a Louisiana interstate bridge and a 34-year-old woman accused of taking a video of it later posted on Facebook.

Troopers in Lake Charles learned Sunday that a man had skateboarded down travel lanes of the Interstate-210 bridge near Lake Charles, Trooper Derek Senegal wrote. Senegal said the video was brought to the attention of a trooper who consulted the Calcasieu Parish DA to see if it warranted an arrest.

“The video showed the creation of a hazardous situation for the participants as well as motorists on the bridge,” Senegal wrote.

The charge’s maximum penalty is 15 years in prison.

Starting at $3.50/week.
