An Abbeville man is facing multiple charges after a recent traffic stop.
On Jan, 19, 2021, at approximately 11:20 p.m. patrol officers of the Abbeville Police Department spotted a vehicle traveling on N. Washington Street near W. St. Victor Street.
Officers observed that the vehicle, despite it being almost 11:30 p.m., was traveling without any headlights on. Officers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle.

Kaylee McLain with her pig, Pearl. Kaylee was able to show the pig only once, in November, before she died in an accident in December.
The sale of Pearl the pig raised $100,000 in Vermilion Parish for a scholarship fund to honor 10-year-old Kaylee McLain, who died last month in an accident.
The fundraising effort came during the auction of 4-H animals on Jan. 16.
“We have amazing and generous people in Vermilion Parish,” said Shannan Waits, LSU AgCenter 4-H agent in Vermilion Parish.
In the midst of their grief, Kaylee’s parents, Erin and Allen McLain, set up the scholarship fund to help provide students with education in Catholic schools.

With a shared mission and vision to enhance the Vermilion parish community, it made perfect sense for Pastor Walter August, Jr., senior pastor and chairperson of Bethel’s Place, to collaborate with Williams Scholar Academy (WSA) on his latest construction endeavor.
