On Tuesday, police in Louisiana shot a man accused of possessing child and animal pornography after he barricaded himself in his home and pointed a gun at an officer, according to reports.
James Millet III, 79, is not only accused of having porn depicting sexual contact with animals but he allegedly also distributed and possessed child porn. When agents with the Louisiana attorney general’s office attempted to execute a search warrant at Millet’s home, Millet’s wife exited the home but Millet remained in a rear bedroom and refused to leave, according to The Times-Picayune.
WDSU reported that a Jefferson Parish deputy shot Millet in the right shoulder after entering the bedroom and finding Millet wielding a handgun. No police officers were injured.
Once released from the hospital, Millet will also be booked into jail on charges of sexual abuse of an animal, possession of pornography involving juveniles, possession or distribution of pornography involving a victim younger than 13, and aggravated assault on a police officer.
WDSU reported that additional criminal charges are likely after prosecutors complete their investigation.
