Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind all citizens that you need to think before you act, especially in a negative manner.
“I try every week to touch on things in my news release that can help you avoid being in my article,” the chief said. “Therefore, if you appear in one of my articles, then you have chosen to do the wrong things. To get arrested leaves a charge on our record that could cause problems when you apply for jobs, housing, or anything else. It has been said that ‘For every action comes a reaction.’ So please be mindful of what you do and how you do it.”
Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison Street or call 318-728-4431 if you need help in any way.
