Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind all citizens of the importance of cooperating with law enforcement officers in the event of a traffic stop or an arrest.
“If you disobey, actively resist, or give false information to the officer, those actions could result in criminal charges, fines, and possibly even incarceration,” the chief said.
Chief Robinson stated that encounters with law officers will go quickly and smoothly if you cooperate with them while they are questioning you.
Chief Robinson also advised that he will not tolerate any fighting in the Town of Rayville from anyone.
“ To avoid any altercation with others that would cause you to get arrested for disturbing the peace, it’s best to walk away. Otherwise, it will cost you,” he said. “We must think positive. It is imperative that we work together to keep negative gestures from becoming a part of our life.”
The chief would like to remind you that physical violence is not an effective problem solving solution.
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.
