I, Jerry Crawford, am a candidate for Richland Parish Police Jury District 7. 

I have met with a large number of the constituents in this district, and have enjoyed visiting with you as you expressed your concerns about the current problems facing our district.

If during the past few weeks, I have missed the opportunity to personally visit with you.  I look forward to being able to meet with you in the near future.

A Delhi alderman was arrested Friday following an incident at his home.

Delhi Police Chief Roy Williams said that Delhi Police Department officers were dispatched  on Aug. 16 to a 911 call at 247 Main St.  in reference to a disturbance.  

After interviewing both subjects at the residence, Delhi Police Department officers arrested Larry Houston, 247 Main St., Delhi.

Houston, who is a town alderman, was charged with domestic abuse battery.

Williams said Houston was then transported to the Richland Parish Detention Center and booked pending bond.
