 Sheriff Randy Seal stated, “I am grateful for the participation of all the officers.  This should be an indication to drug dealers throughout the parish that our law enforcement agencies are working together to get drugs off of our streets.”

 Sheriff Seal continued with a word to drug dealers.  “If you would get an honest job and get up and go to work  like the good citizens of our parish,  you wouldn’t be in jail. The formula is simple.  Work hard, get out of bed and every day and make a living for you and your family, and enjoy life in our community.  Or, sell drugs and go to jail.  Our jail may be crowded, but there is always room for you.”
