Trapper Joe’s Court Date Cancelled Again

Trapper Joe Lafont from the hit reality show "Swamp People" was scheduled to appear in an Orange County, Florida, court room today August 9th for a pre-trial conference.

We have learned that the conference has once again been cancelled and rescheduled.

In online court records obtained from the Orange County, Florida, Clerk of Courts office by Cajun Radio, we learned that Trapper Joe (real name: Noces Joseph Lafont, Jr.) is facing one count of first-degree misdemeanor battery and one count of second-degree misdemeanor assault (domestic violence).

The court records also reflected that on July 19, Trapper Joe's original court date, was cancelled and that a pre-trial conference had been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Eastern time on today, Aug. 9, 2012.

But now we have learned that today's conference was also cancelled and rescheduled again for 8:45 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday, Aug. 16th, 2012

If you remember Trapper Joe was arrested after an incident occurred when a witness told police Trapper Joe and his girlfriend, Trene Marie Planche, were arguing at the Buena Vista Hotel and Spa just after midnight and both appeared very drunk.

The witness claims he watched Joe punch the woman in the chest and then grab her by the arms and shake her very hard.

The girlfriend told police Joe had received a call on his cell phone and she wanted to know who was calling but when she reached for his phone, he tried to burn her with a lit cigarette.

Joe was released after his arrest after he posted $1,500 bond.
