This is exactly the reason I believe the detention center needs to be rid of non-locals so that we have room to get some of these thugs off the streets. The judges let people walk because they say there is no room. I watched a guy walk out after paying his little pittance of money to stay out, after being charged with 5 counts of attempted murder. Great, walking the streets with those of us who obey the law. Now they are deciding to have gun battles on the parking lots where good honest people are shopping. No wonder Natchitoches is getting a worse reputation than Shreveport, and that is a horrible thing to have to say.
OMG, how could a judge let someone charged with 5 counts of attempted murder walk out like that?
its the best southern city to retire in.Look away from the crime and drugs,we have fireworks
and bricks.
I wish they would go back to the curfew none of this was going on the city need to inforce this
Agreed, but we can’t keep the curfew forever. I’m sick of not being able to get a gallon of milk at a grocery store after 9:00 at night.
