Sebastian is a gambler living in Louisiana who somehow struggles to find pro or college games upon which to place a bet. He eventually decides to place $600 on the spread of a basketball game. Unfortunately for Sebastian, he bet in favor of the Shreveport Shredders, who were playing the Gators. Additionally, gambling is illegal under Louisiana state law, and Sebastian placed his bet in the city limits of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

When presiding at Sebastian’s sentencing hearing, the judge would most likely cite which of the following theories of law regarding his arrest and conviction?
