It would be infested with marijuana-eating rats.
The New Orleans police chief caused a sensation before a municipal commission, pleading for a move from the main police station of this Louisiana city in the face of deterioration of the premises.
“In the evidence room that you visited, I told you,
Counselor, come, I want you to see (…) all the big rodents, the cockroaches, the rats that eat our marijuana.
They're all stoned!
», Launched Commissioner Anne Kirkpatrick on Monday.
" It's horrible "
She pleaded for the police headquarters of this city of nearly 400,000 inhabitants to move, due to the general state of deterioration of the current building, built in 1968. “It is not only the police headquarters, these are all the neighborhoods.
The dirt is unheard of,” the manager also said.
A veteran police officer, quoted by local newspaper The Times-Picayune, said the headquarters was infested with vermin during the more than two decades he worked for the New Orleans police.
“It’s horrible (…) You have lots of rodents climbing in the partitions,” he said, citing Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which devastated Louisiana’s largest city, as one of the reasons for the deterioration of the building.
