Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinsonwould like to again caution all individuals about the importance of keeping your record clean.
“If you do get charged with a crime, it can cause you problems in the future,” he said. “I know this may not sound meaningful when you get a charge, but the only way to get it off your records is to get an attorney to file an expungement which can be costly. I encourage you to think before you act.”
The chief also advised that the Rayville Police Department is getting complaints about loud music.
“I ask that you please consider others when you play your music,” he said. “We do have an ordinance against loud music, so don’t get caught.”
Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by the Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison St. or to call 728-4431 if you need his help in any way.
