Steven Seagal lawsuit stems from armored raid that left 120 chickens marked for death

Photo via Forbes.com

In addition to teaching Brazilians how to throw front kicks, bloated B-movie action star Steven Seagal is also a reality show Sheriff, as cameras follow him in performance of his duties as a reserve deputy in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

Hard to imagine something would go wrong on a show titled "Steven Seagal: Lawman."

But wrong it went, as Seagal and his fellow deputies, along with the Maricopa County SWAT team (decked out in riot gear), executed a full-blown raid (including a bomb robot) on the home of a suspected felon back on March 9, 2011.

The best part?

Seagal himself was riding in the armored TANK that rammed down the homeowner's gate.

So what was this dastardly villain accused of? Drug trafficking? Murder in the first? Bank robbery? Nope. Jesus Sanchez Llovera was suspected of raising roosters for the purposes of cockfighting.

Doh!

Star-divide

Inside Edition has more:

Robert Campos, the attorney for homeowner Jesus Llovera, says the elaborate raid was nothing more than a staged stunt to make Seagal look good for the cameras that were filming the entire time.

"One of the armored vehicles busted [one gate] in at the same time Steven Seagal and his tank were on the other side busting down a big iron fence," said Campos.

Campos also claims that after the large iron gate was knocked down, it was then propped back up so Steven Seagal could get in the tank and be videotaped knocking it down again. The tank and the SWAT team caused thousands of dollars in damages, according to the lawyer.

Llovera, who was not armed and has no history of violence, says he felt like he was under siege. He says the SWAT team came through his window with a battering ram, forced him out of bed at gun point and Seagal led him away in handcuffs, all without ever explaining why he was being arrested. The entire scene was videotaped for the show.

"They killed over a 100 of his birds," explained Campos. Yes, it's true. The raid designed to rescue these chickens ended in death for 120 of the roosters.

In the end, thousands of dollars in damages were incurred, 100+ chickens were euthanized and one puppy was killed.

Just another day at the office for the "Lawman" and his cronies under contract to A&E.

I don't know about you guys but I always get excited at the notion of cockfighting.

I am a very poor representative of the Lollipop Guild when it comes to making fight picks. I have been exiled from Munchkin Land and am now forced to live in Kimbo Slice's beard. Forrest Griffin is not a has been, he's a never was, and Shogun proved their first fight was indeed a fluke, just like MagicMike said he would. The more you know...the more I probably don't.

typical lawyers...

Trying to make criminals seem like the victims…cock fighting is illegal hence he had the birds there for a reason and is most likely guilty, raids are Not illegal and of course it was part of the show, why would they leave that part out?..this shouldn’t be down played hurting animals for sport is sick! Why is this a joke? Anybody on here own family dog or cat that they want to torture for fun…

That's not what I'm saying

Buddy was talking about the cruelty to animals but at least with the cockfighting they had a chance, with the law on their hands they didn’t, and I bet none of those chickens made it to a dinner plate

Cockfighting in Louisiana has a deep cultural history

And it wasn’t even illegal until 3 years ago. These cops need to quit acting like they are the military storming the osama compound.

here in the detroit area they shoot almost every dog now when they go into a house, try and blame it on aggression of the dog, no matter what breed it is. of course the detroit police department also shoots innocent little girls then lies about it, that’s why no more camera are allowed to follow DPD anymore

i read on one site

That Seagal only need 25 front kicks to kill all 120 chickens
