Police: Gov. aide injured in New Orleans fracas
NEW ORLEANS — Police say Gov. Bobby Jindal’s chief fundraiser broke a leg after falling when some men beat her boyfriend as they left a Louisiana Republican fundraiser in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
Police say 25-five-year-old Allee Bautsch and her 28-year-old boyfriend had left swanky Brenann’s Restaurant Friday night when three to five men began making derogatory comments.
A police statement Tuesday doesn’t identify Bautsch or her boyfriend by name but says he was beaten after turning toward the men, who fled after Bautsch fell. The boyfriend suffered a mild concussion and broken jaw and nose.
Police wouldn’t elaborate on the comments or a possible motive.
Jindal is considered a rising GOP national star and often mentioned as a potential presidential contender.
