COVID crushed police stats
There probably isn’t too may bright spots to be noted for the COVID-19 year, but Eunice Police statistics show the virus put a damper on arrests and traffic cases.
Police Chief Randy Fontenot mused at Tuesday’s Board of Aldermen’s meeting, “Maybe we need to put the entire city under house arrest again to keep these numbers down.”
Fontenot went over the statistics for everything from crash reports to DWI arrests to felony arrests that are mostly the lowest in nine years.
The crime counts have been on the decrease recent years, he said.
