Picture this: a quiet Louisiana evening shattered by the splash of ambition. Erin Elizabeth Sutton, 41, decided the neighbor’s pond was her personal ocean, stripped down for maximum mermaid vibes, and when the deputy showed up to politely ask her to stop trespassing, she went full Ariel-gone-wrong—charging, kicking, punching, and even threatening to end lives mid-transport. Authorities had to tase, tackle, and eventually slap on charges ranging from battery on an officer to “disturbing the peace/drunkenness.” Because nothing says “I’m a mythical sea creature” like resisting arrest in the buff while yelling threats. Classic case of alcohol turning fantasy into felony.
