Disclaimer: All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. An alleged threat by an armed person is a sure recipe for someone to land themselves in heartbreak hotel.

According to officials with the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s office, Hen...
A concerned city employee recently told The Monroe Dispatch that the city of Monroe front-line workers, the ones that do the “dirty work” are not appreciated by those who give the orders.

They are literally “on the front lines” engaging with the public who see them daily and see how hard t...

5 years ago, at an annual Police Jury Budget meeting, I discovered that the maintenance and upkeep of the JS Clark Cemetery was the responsibility of the Police Jury. It had no perpetual funds set aside for this feat, so the upkeep was done at a bare minimum. It was the forgotten child and was in deplorable condition. More importantly, it was in my district therefore, it was my responsibility to advocate for a major change. This was my first and one of my most fulfilling projects as a newbie Ju...

We must always remember how God judged, not sparing the old world, only saving Noah and his family (8 persons). Also, how God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah making them and example to them that...

Presidents, former or otherwise are not supposed to have a photo of their mug shot next to their biography when talked about in the history cla...
