A Delhi Police Department lieutenant’s resignation has raised questions at town hall.

Lt. Mary Williams resigned last week due to personal reasons.

“I would like to thank everyone that gave me the opportunity to protect and serve in this town of Delhi,” Williams said in her resignation letter. “May God be with each and everyone of you. Thanks again.”

Delhi Mayor Jesse Washington said the council accepted her resignation Monday night during an executive session.

However, Washington said, the reason she was resigning left him with questions of his own.

The Rayville Police Department made the following arrests for the week of May 2-9.

• Jaylynn Taylor, 27, 402 McGuire St., West Monroe; harassment.

• Kenneth Martinez, 32, 403 Linda S., Rayville; leash law violation.

• Darren Collins, 30, 314 Wood St., Rayville; unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, no driver’s license and careless operation with an accident.

• Alexis Stansbury, 27, 2848 Magnolia St., Rayville; failure to appear for expired MVI and failure to appear for no driver’s license.

Rayville Mayor Harry Lewis and his staff congratulate town clerk Deborah T. Nealon on earning the 50 educational credits and professional growth hours required to become a Louisiana Master Municipal Clerk.

Nealon is the first black female LMMC for the Town of Rayville.  

She is a member of the Louisiana Municipal Clerks Association. This organization was established in April 22, 1955, and governed by the LMCA Executive Board, consists of local municipal clerks from across the state of Louisiana.
