A Napoleonville man told authorities he was drunk when he stole a horse last weekend and attempted to ride it to a Mardi Gras parade in Thibodaux, according to Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack's office....

Waguespack's office said investigators identified 20-year-old Maison Rivere as a suspect in the horse theft.

Rivere allegedly admitted to investigators he was drunk and was trying to ride the horse bareback to Thibodaux to watch a Mardi Gras parade. Thibodaux and Napoleonville are about 18 miles apart.

The horse bucked him off several times, Rivere told investigators, so he set the horse free and headed home on foot.
