On Saturday, officials with Louisiana State Police arrested Ricardo Hernandez-Perez, 41, of Vinton as a result of an investigation into allegations of cheating by horse jockeys at the Delta Downs Racetrack and Casino.
After the races concluded, officials conducted post-race checks of each jockey. Officials said during one encounter, Hernandez-Perez attempted to flee while removing a battery-operated shocking device from his clothing and discarding it into one of the horse stalls.
Hernandez-Perez was subsequently taken to a Calcasieu Parish correctional center for violation of unnatural stimulation of horses.
The law prohibits anyone from possessing or using devices like electric batteries that can unnaturally stimulate, depress or excite a racehorse before or during a race, including within racetrack stables, sheds or other buildings on racetrack grounds where eligible horses are kept.
