Steven Seagal is the recipient of a notice of claim from  Jesus Sanchez Llovera for a raid he conducted while filming his show Steven Seagal: Lawman in Maricopa County, Arizona. Sanchez charges that Seagal and Sheriff Joe Arpaio wrongfully raided his property with a tank (!), and in doing so, killed over 100 roosters.

The warrant was for alleged cockfighting activities that were supposed to be taking place there, but Llovera claims that the roosters killed were involved in no wrongdoing. I love this logic. As though roosters that had been involved in cockfighting somehow deserve to be crushed by a tank, because it was ultimately the birds‘ decisions to fight.

Anyway, Llovera also alleges that somehow an 11-month old puppy also got killed in the mayhem. He’s asking for a formal apology. Oh, and also $100,000. Because the last time I checked roosters cost about $1,000 each.

So eery when life imitates art. After being forced to turn in his badge and gun in countless films, Steven Seagal has been ordered to do the same in reality TV life. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Station has halted production indefiitely of the A&E series "Steven Seagal: Lawman."

Seagal became the center of controversy earlier this week when a former executive assistant (hired via Craigslist) accused the perspirant actor of treating her like a "sex toy" for the brief time she was in his employ. She also alleged "Mr. Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian ‘Attendants’ on staff who were available for his sexual need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

No one knows for sure how Seagal will react to this. But now that he’s working outside of the justice system, it’s likely that he’ll team up with DMX to target and bring down the gang of murderous Rastafarians whose oil-drilling has been killing the Alaskan wilderness, with his unique brand of justice. Deadly justice. (TMZ)

A&E launches the single greatest reality series about an aikido champion/actor turned cop this Wednesday with Steven Seagal: Lawman (aka Fat Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans). For those not in the know, Steven Seagal has volunteered with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department for the past 20 years. This show chronicles his main duties giving martial arts training to the officers as well as assisting with arrests. It’s almost just like COPS, the only difference being the perps are arrested by the man on the poster they have framed in their living rooms.

Have a look at an earlier preview or check out the brand new, extended preview below. I’m looking forward to the cliffhanger season finale when Seagal’s rogue tactics require that he hand over his badge, never ending donut bowl, and gun.
