Rayville Police Department Sgt. Tim Colvin was performing security at Winnsboro State Bank at 4:40 p.m. Oct. 4, when a vehicle pulled up beside him. The driver advised him that her husband, Christopher Jackson, was harassing her verbally, smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol in the presence of her two grandchildren and her daughter while in the car. 

At this point, the passenger was asked to step out the vehicle so that Sgt. Colvin could obtain his identification.
