    Louisiana: Fat City Man Recovering after Brutal Attack

    Fat City Man Recovering after Brutal Attack
    Laila Morcos,

    May 4, 2008

    Richard Poche is home recovering after he says he was attacked by a group of men yesterday in broad daylight. He says they bit off his thumb and slashed his body with a knife .. an attack so brutal, doctors thought he was attacked by a dog.

    Deborah and Richard Poche moved back to Fat City from Florida to help rebuild after Katrina. "This is his hometown," says Deborah. It hasn't been easy. Deborah says, "I'm not doing so well. I've been sick. I've been battling cancer." And things just have just gotten worse. "He was just full of blood, just squirting out of his finger, it was everywhere," she says. Richard is recovering from a near deadly attack right outside his Division Street apartment yesterday.

    "It was here at the Orleans Courtyard Inn, where Richard said he was checking on his son who was at a birthday party. That's when he says half a block away he was attacked. He says, "They accosted me for money again and I said no and that's when they all jumped on me."

    Richard says at least six men attacked him -- choking him, biting off his thumb, slashing him with a knife, severing his fingers -- even biting him so hard in the arm, teeth marks remain. "I hollered police, police, they bit me on the arm here -- what scared them off most -- was I hollered, 'Ice, ice." ICE is short for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Richard says the men who attacked him are probably from outside the US, and are in New Orleans, looking for recovery work. Now, the couple feels like prisoners in their own home. "The drinking, the way they are out front, he has to bring up all his tools, we rented a storage shed, they siphoned all the gas, we can't even keep gas in the truck," says Deborah.

    The Poches called the JPSO after the attack. But the couple says-- even the deputies who arrived at the scene said little could be done to protect them. "They're here illegally. There's no process for prosecuting them. This is what the officer told me. They're so disgusted cause their hands are tied," Richard says.

    The Poches are worried about retaliation. Still they're speaking out, and plan to get out of the New Orleans area. "It's just too much. It's out of hand," says Richard. And they're trying to figure out how to explain all this to their eight year old son. "He knows what's going on .. bad feelings .. we won't let him go out an night, period."

    The Poche's add-- they're grateful for all the people who are in New Orleans to help with the recovery work. They just hope that police and sheriffs deputies can weed out the bad apples. Richard heads back to the hospital tomorrow so doctors can figure out how to reattach his fingers. Now Richard's job is at stake .. he uses his hands everyday .. building pools for a living.
