An Opelousas woman has been arrested nearly two weeks after she allegedly ran into a pedestrian pushing his bicycle on U.S. Highway 190 and then sped away.
According to Police Chief Martin McLendon, the shooting took place at the intersection of Ina Clare Drive and Bernice Street around 10:27 pm on Thursday.
There were two separate shootings that happened within minutes of each other in two parishes that border Lafayette Parish to its north and to the south.
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries agents cited an Opelousas man for the alleged possession and release of invasive apple snails into his neighborhood pond.
