Liberals Out of Control - Attacking Conservatives?

Jindal fundraiser and her boyfriend beaten in French Quarter
Posted: 04/13/2010 5:35 PM

NEW ORLEANS – Police have released information about the suspects in a French Quarter incident that sent a Gov. Bobby Jindal staffer and her boyfriend to the hospital.

Administration officials say Jindal's chief campaign fundraiser, 25-year-old Allee Bautsch, suffered a broken leg during a Friday night altercation with a group of people in the French Quarter. Her 28-year-old boyfriend broke his jaw and nose and had a concussion during the incident.

According to Superintendent Warren Riley, the couple, whom the NOPD did not identify, were walking from a function in the 400 block of Royal Street when a group of three to five men approached and began making derogatory comments toward the couple.

Investigators said when the man turned to face them, one of the suspects struck him several times and the woman fell to the ground and screamed. The suspects then took off, and EMS was called by officers who were in the area.

Police said they only have a description of one of the suspects, who was described as a white man who appeared to be dirty, in his 20s, about six feet tall with a thick build and thin face. He had a beard and auburn-colored hair in a pony tail. His accomplices were also said to be white men.

While there were protestors outside the event at Brennan's, it is not know if they were involved in the incident.
