Overview
- Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said Tuesday no criminal charges will stem from allegations that riders aggressively threw beads at officers.
- All 41 riders on Float No. 10 were taken off the route Sunday at about 4 p.m., following NOPD’s assessment that beads were intentionally thrown toward police.
- The removal caused a brief parade delay, and the “Carrollton Boots” float continued unoccupied for the remainder of the Uptown route.
- Krewe leaders launched a disciplinary review and said expulsions are possible if the allegations are substantiated, pledging full cooperation with authorities.
- NOPD reported no arrests in the case, and Attorney General Liz Murrill publicly condemned the behavior and called for accountability.
