Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson advised all citizens of Rayville of the importance of cooperating with law enforcement officers.
“If you are stopped by an officer while you’re driving, be prepared to present your vehicle documents -- driver’s license, proof of insurance and vehicle registration,” the chief said. “If you are questioned by an officer during the course of an investigation, it’s very important for you to cooperate fully and answer all questions truthfully.”
Chief Robinson advised that running or fleeing from an officer, refusing to answer questions or giving false information could all result in being arrested on criminal charges.
“It is also important that you comply with an officer in the event that you are arrested,” the chief said. “Resisting the officer in any way will lead to additional charges. I ask that you work with us. By now all should be aware that if you speed and get caught, a ticket will be given. We are getting numerous Loud Music complaints. Be mindful of these two acts.”
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.
