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,” the chief said. “You will also accrue additional fines.”
Chief Robinson would also like to remind all motorists of the importance of keeping their vehicle documentation up-to-date.
“You are required by law to have a current motor vehicle inspection sticker, vehicle registration and proof of insurance in your vehicle any time that the vehicle is in operation,” the chief said.
Chief Robinson also advised that anyone driving the vehicle should also carry a valid driver’s license.
Chief Robinson encourages citizens to come by Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison Street or call 318-728-441 if you need his help in any way.
