The seven men in custody for the suspected arson of LeBleau Plantation allegedly were looking for ghosts, according to St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Jimmy Pohlmann. The sheriff said the men had been smoking marijuana and drinking in the vacant house in Old Arabi.
One of the men was from Arabi, one from Gretna, and the others were from Texas, the sheriff said.
The men, between the ages of 17 and 31, arrived at the home late Thursday night, likely entering through a gap on the fence around the property that had been cut out by other curious trespassers over the years, according to Col. John Doran, who oversees all the Sheriff’s Office’s criminal enforcement.
