John Edward Laroche (born February 19, 1962 in Florida) is an American horticulturist who was arrested for allegedly poaching wild ghost orchids while working for the Seminole natives in the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve in Florida. The subsequent trial brought him to the attention of Susan Orlean who wrote an article for ''The New Yorker'' and the book ''The Orchid Thief'' about him.〔 Laroche's defense was a loophole in the law that he claimed allowed the Seminole Indians to remove endangered species from the swamp.〔 He accepted a plea deal that resulted in his being sentenced to six months' probation and a fine.〔 "I figured that we'd get what we needed out of the Fakahatchee and at the same time we'd bring so much attention to the law that the legislature would change it. I timed it so that it would be in time for the legislative session. That's what I want to say in court. I want to say that the state needs to protect itself."〔 A fictionalized version of him was played by Chris Cooper in the film ''Adaptation.'', a portrayal that earned Cooper an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. ==References==
