Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson advised all citizens of Rayville that is is important to be in court if you are scheduled to appear.
“Whether you have been scheduled to appear in court on a traffic citation or as the victim, witness or suspect of a crime, if you have been scheduled to appear in court, it is mandatory to appear,” he said.
Chief Robinson stated that failure to appear in court as scheduled will result in a bench warrant being issued for your arrest.
“If a bench warrant is issued, you will be located and arrested for failure to appear and you may be incarcerated,” he said. “You will also accrue additional fines.”
Chief Robinson would also like to remind all citizens to keep their music at an appropriate level. He also advised that it is illegal to have an open container or to consume alcoholic beverages in a vehicle or public place. Chief Robinson stated that violation of these ordinances will lead to arrests, fines and possible even incarceration.
