KAPLAN - Over the past month, the Kaplan Police Department has been hard at work issuing tickets to drivers.
How hard at work?
Over the last four weeks, the Kaplan police have issued nearly 500 tickets. The tickets written range from speeding, window tint being too dark, texting while driving, running a stop sign, burnt-out taillights, and not turning on their signal when turning.
But the most popular ticket issued over the last four weeks is speeding.

At some point in the future, the Vermilion Parish landfill will reach its capacity and come to an end.
That remains several years down the road, and officials with the Vermilion Parish Police Jury, which operates the site, are working constantly to extend the 135-acre landfill’s lifespan.
One way the jury is doing that is by adding acreage. Last year, the jury purchased six acres that connect to the landfill. 

Less than 24 hours after allegedly burglarizing a business in Abbeville, the burglar was arrested by a Vermilion Parish Sheriff deputy and would later confess to the crime, according to the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office.
According to Sheriff Eddie Langlinais, on July 5, at approximately 11 in the morning, a Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division responded to a business burglary complaint on Cheryl Drive in Abbeville.
