The Krewe of Carrollton parade in New Orleans faced controversy Sunday when 41 riders were removed from Float 10 after allegedly throwing beads at NOPD officers in an aggressive manner. New Orleans Police Department officials confirmed the riders were ejected from the parade route following the incident, which the Mayor's office described as intentional.

Wayne Lee, Captain of the Krewe of Carrollton, stated the organization is treating the allegations with utmost seriousness and conducting a thorough internal review. The krewe has already met with NOPD officials and pledged full cooperation with authorities. The incident occurred during the Feb. 8 parade, one of several Mardi Gras celebrations in the city.

This marks a significant disruption for the krewe, which has not publicly commented on potential disciplinary actions beyond the immediate removals. The incident raises questions about crowd control and safety protocols during major parade events. The krewe's swift action demonstrates the seriousness with which such allegations are being treated by both law enforcement and parade organizers.
