Maurice

Lafayette and Acdiana are no strangers to what may or may not be UFO sightings. What the heck are these strange lights people keep getting video of floating around in the skies over Cajun country? A video I personally took is included in this of "Five Times People Saw UFOs Over Lafayette And Acadiana". To this day I don't have an answer as to what it I videoed in the sky that night.

Troy Blake, 47, of Lafayette is in jail in Vermilion Parish for allegedly picking up eight oz of crystal meth at the post office in Maurice.

Chief of Police Warren Rost pushed for the change, citing a concern for drinking and driving, and police calls to the bar after 2 a.m.

Two bodies badly burnt during a vehicle fire in Vermilion Parish earlier this week have been identified as a male and a female, but their races are still unknown, according to the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office.

Major Darryl Leblanc says they will work to identify the sex of both victims and their identities.

We continue with our Famous People from Acadiana articles. So far we've covered St. Martin, Acadia and Iberia parishes. I hope you've enjoyed these compilations as much as I have in researching and putting them together. It is a fun learning experience.

The Department of Transportation and Development has informed us that US 167, within the village limits of Maurice, will begin road construction on Saturday, January 21.
