Sulphur Man and Accomplice Arrested for Skateboarding on Interstate Highway

Calcasieu Parish – On December 22, 2019, Louisiana State Police Troop D became aware of an individual who skateboarded down the I-210 Bridge in Calcasieu Parish near Lake Charles.

A video of the subject, later identified as 26-year-old Louis C. McGlone of Sulphur, was posted to Facebook. He was followed by 34-year-old Lindsey O. Hulett of Lake Charles, who participated by recording McGlone from her vehicle as he skated down the bridge in the lanes of travel. The video showed the creation of a hazardous situation for the participants as well as motorists on the bridge.

On December 26, 2019, Troopers secured arrest warrants for McGlone and Hulett. Each was booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center for aggravated obstruction of a highway of commerce. This law prohibits the performance of any act on a highway wherein it is foreseeable that human life might be endangered. If convicted, each faces up to 15 years in prison.
