SEE IT: Louisiana woman threatens black family with bat, gun for driving down her flooded street

When it comes to criminal charges, she’s batting 1.000.

Bridgette Digerolamo of Baton Rouge, La., was arrested Monday after threatening a black family with a baseball bat and firearm, reported Baton Rouge TV station WBRZ.

Demetra Turner-Louis was driving down a residential street in the city Monday morning with her husband and daughter when Digerolamo allegedly brandished a baseball bat at her vehicle while hurling obscenities.

“As our truck approached her, she came to the car with the bat and started yelling and screaming, telling us to ‘turn our f------ truck around because her house is going to flood,” claimed Turner-Louis.

The suspect then allegedly began flailing her bat at Turner-Louis’ vehicle.

In alarming video, the suspect is later seen waving a gun at the truck.

Turner-Louis claims to have lived in the neighborhood for more than a decade and is aware of the flooding issues. She noted that other neighbors stood by the roadside politely asking motorists to drive slowly through the floodwaters, according to WBRZ, which also noted that between three and four inches of rain fell in the area on Monday morning.

“You don’t play with guns and threaten people,” said Turner-Louis. “If we had a gun it could have been a different outcome.”

Digerolamo, 38, was booked for aggravated assault with a firearm and criminal damage to property, reported New Orleans TV station WWL.

The suspect, who’s a physical education instructor in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System, is now the focus of a workplace probe, according to WBRZ.
