Duson Police Chief Kip Judice is recovering after being rushed to the hospital Saturday.
His family says he suffered an acute respiratory attack that shut down his airway.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Chief Judice says he was feeling tired but normal.
A large contributor to the respiratory attack was a polyp attached to his wind pipe just below his vocal cords.
The polyp, he says, was large enough to constrict his airway after being outside in the allergen filled air on Saturday.
