Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson advised all citizens of Rayville that it is very 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’ve been scheduled to appear in court, it’s mandatory to appear,” the chief 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 like to caution all citizens about buying stolen merchandise.
He asks that if you buy items such as guns, TVs, cellphones, etc. you will be charged with possession of stolen things. Ask yourself, “Is this person an authorized dealer of this merchandise?”
“Do not buy anything off the streets, because if you are approached on the streets chances are it is stolen,” he said. “I truly believe if you cut out the demand, then there won’t be any supply.”
Chief Robinson further stated that we have a zero tolerance for fighting in the town of Rayville.
“I can’t stress enough the importance of not fighting. The price you have to pay for fighting in the town limits of Rayville is costly.” the chief said. “I encourage you to walk away and let my officers handle your disputes. I ask all to remember for every action there is a reaction.”
Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison Street or call 318-725-4431 if you need his assistance in any way.
