The “cutthroat cowboys” have found themselves in hot water after a wild stunt at a Louisiana Walmart landed them in trouble with the law. The group of four men made headlines after a viral video captured them riding their “emotional support” horses through the aisles of the store in Baker, Louisiana.
The video, which quickly spread on social media, showed the men on horseback trotting past stunned shoppers and employees as they made their way through the store. The sight of horses in a Walmart left many onlookers in disbelief, with one woman caught on camera expressing her shock and disbelief.
As the video circulated online, the Baker Police Department launched an investigation to track down the culprits behind the bizarre stunt. Eventually, two of the riders, Mason Webb and a juvenile offender, turned themselves in to police after warrants were issued for their arrest. Brendon Bridgwater and Patrick Derozan also surrendered to authorities shortly after.
In a statement to WBRZ 2 following his arrest, Mason Webb defended the group’s actions as simply “fun” and a way to gain notoriety. He claimed that they had no malicious intent and only wanted to have a good time. Webb even went as far as to refer to his horse as his “emotional support animal.”
Despite their claims of innocence, the four men now face charges for entering and remaining after forbidden, unlawful post of criminal activity, and disturbing the peace. The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of reckless behavior and the importance of respecting public spaces.
The video of the “cutthroat cowboys” riding through Walmart may have brought them temporary fame, but it ultimately led to legal trouble and consequences for their actions. The escapade serves as a reminder that actions have consequences, and even seemingly harmless stunts can have serious repercussions.
