On Wednesday at 4:34 p.m., officers of the Abbeville Police Department responded to an armed robbery call at a residence on Maude Avenue.
Officers spoke to the victim, who stated that he gave an individual known as Joshua Vanslyke a ride to his residence on Messina Street.
The victim stated that they both went into Vanslyke’s residence under the premise that Vanslyke was going to get gas money to repay the victim for the ride.

The appraisal for the old Abbeville post office building was completed and it states the downtown building holds a $250,000 price tag. The next question is, “What to do with the building?”

School Board attorney Kathy Boudreaux presented information about the sale of the building and a timeline on when it should happen.
