and then leaving the store. A warrant was issued for her arrest and Mrs.
King was placed into custody on a later date.
On July 11, 2021, Matthew Deville was ultimately placed under arrest for
DWI first offense when he drove his vehicle into an officer that was on

On July 19, 2021 Officers with the Turkey Creek police department
attempted to stop a maroon in color Honda pilot with switched plates

patrol vehicle where the officer and K9 sustained minor injuries. The
suspect vehicle was later located abandoned on Royal Rd by Evangeline
Parish Sheriff’s Office. The incident is still under investigation by the

Creek a safer place for our community and as always Chief Steven

report all suspicious activity and all suspects are innocent until proven
guilty.
