Mermaids are usually associated with the ocean . . . not random ponds in Louisiana.
A 41-year-old woman named Erin Sutton was arrested in northern Louisiana on Tuesday after she got naked . . . jumped in her neighbor’s pond . . . and told cops she was “trying to be a mermaid.”
The neighbor says it’s not the first time she’s skinny dipped in their pond. They’ve warned her before, but she didn’t listen. So they called 911 to report it.
Cops showed up and tried to coax her out of the water, but she refused. She said she was trying to be a mermaid, but didn’t explain why or what that meant.
She eventually got out but then CHARGED one of the deputies. They tased her but said it had zero effect.
She allegedly kicked and punched a cop before they finally restrained her. It’s not clear if she was on drugs or what, but it sounds like she may have been doing some drinking.
She’s facing charges for public drunkenness . . . public intimidation . . . battery of a police officer . . . criminal trespassing . . . and resisting arrest.
