Dear Parents/Guardians,

On March 7, 2019, at approximately 10:47 a.m. officers of the Abbeville Police Department responded to an Armed Robbery call at a business on Richard Street.
Officers learned that a white male subject entered the business armed with a knife. The suspect demanded cash and the car keys from the employee of the business. The employee complied, giving the suspect her cash and her car keys. The victim was able to give a description of the suspect, his clothing and a description of the knife he used in the robbery.

Polls in Abbeville will be open on May 4.
Voters within the City of Abbeville will have the opportunity to make one decision on that day, whether to pass a half-cent sales tax that would fund raises for all city employees.
During a special meeting Thursday evening, the Abbeville City Council voted unanimously to call a special election that will be held on Saturday, May 4. The cost of the special election will be $9,000. If passed, the tax would not go into effect until Oct. 1, 2019.
