After the drug roundup, Washington Parish Sheriff Randy Seal commented: “This is our third drug roundup in 2015. We had the first one in February which resulted in multiple arrests. The second was last month when we assisted DEA in their roundup in Bogalusa. June 10 was the third one and I promise this will not be the last. We will continue to target drug dealers in Washington Parish and will seek them out and arrest them. They are not only selling drugs, but they are also behind much of the theft going on in our parish. Remember this, drug dealers. We will not let up. You are correct if you think we are watching you. We are watching and we will eventually catch you selling dope. If you like sleeping in jail, please know that we intend to help you get there.”
Sheriff Seal also spoke about on the assistance of other law enforcement, “The fine officers with Rayburn Correctional Center and Louisiana Probation and Parole are always available when we need extra personnel. They are a valuable asset to Washington Parish and I appreciate all they do.”
