Crowley hunter booked as felon carrying a gun

CROWLEY, La. (AP) - The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries says a tip that someone was hunting ducks out of season brought an arrest on a number of charges, including possession of a firearm by a felon.

Enforcement Division spokesman Adam Einck says Crowley police detained 30-year-old Larry J. Marceaux Jr. before agents arrived Wednesday evening. He says the agents confiscated a dead female wood duck and a Marlin .17-caliber rifle.
