Report: Family Arrested After Mall Fracas Prompted by Saggy Pants
Wednesday, January 02, 2008
A family of six was arrested at a Florida mall last week following a melee
that cops said was prompted by sagging pants, the Palm Beach Post reported
Monday.
It took about 20 deputies, a canine unit and a police helicopter to
apprehend the Leger family, who got involved in the fracas on Dec. 27 after
Frantz Leger, 20, was arrested for trespassing at The Mall at Wellington
Green, the Post reported. Leger had reportedly been banned from the mall
over the summer after wearing baggy pants.

The family came to the parking lot of the mall's food court as Florida State
University business sophomore Frantz Leger was being arrested and attempted
to stop it. Family members allegedly began pushing, scratching, kicking,
screaming and cursing at cops, according to law enforcement records obtained
by the Post.
Marthe Leger, Frantz's 50-year-old mother, allegedly pushed two deputies to
keep them from arresting and Tasing her nephew, who had allegedly assaulted
a deputy during the brawl, according to the arrest report obtained by the
paper. She was also accused of kicking and attempting to pull away from a
deputy during her arrest.

Frantz's father Joseph, 52, threatened to kill deputies and later began to
scratch and kick during his arrest, according to the Post. Frantz's sister
Samantha, 18, reportedly screamed and cursed at a surrounding crowd and
attempted to push past an officer. There was no information available on a
16-year-old juvenile or Frantz Leger's cousin Alain Odige, 19, who was
charged with trespassing, the Post reported.
The Leger family contends that deputies were out of line, the Post reported.
Marthe Leger, who had a bruise on her cheek, told the Post she was punched
multiple times in the face by a deputy as she tried to photograph the melee
with her cell phone. Joseph Leger told the paper that he was punched in the
back of the head.
