Gaston Gerald

Gaston Gerald is a former American politician from Greenwell Springs in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, who was imprisoned in the early 1980s for extortion of a bribe from a Baton Rouge contractor.

Gerald was one of eight children born to James Edward Gerald and the former Cynthia Martin. Only two of his siblings survive, a brother, Kelly P. Gerald of rural Pine in Washington Parish, and a sister, Martha G. Watts of French Settlement in Livingston Parish. Since his release from prison, Gerald has been engaged in cattle ranching and farming in East Baton Rouge and Washington parishes. Former State Senator B.B. Sixty Rayburn of Washington Parish similarly farmed and ranched after his defeat in the 1995 general election by the Republican Phil Short. From 1995 to 2006, Gerald received 30,357 in federal farm subsidies.
