Opelousas Man Accused of Making Traffic Stop So Much Worse

Opelousas Man Accused of Making Traffic Stop So Much Worse A traffic stop turned into a stay in the St. Landry Parish Jail Friday for 59-year-old Donovan K. Hudson of Opelousas after he allegedly fought with the sheriff s deputy who pulled him over and who eventually tasered him during the arresting process. The incident began at a traffic light at the I-49 Service Road and Creswell Lane intersection when Hudson s SUV stopped next to the deputy in the left turn only lane, drove from the left lane, ran the red light, crossed the right lane and made an illegal right turn - without signalling - in front of the deputy and another driver before heading west on Creswell Lane.

Frank J Dietlein was one of Opelousas first jewlers

Since I was a child I’ve been interested in the history of Opelousas. My curiosity about the stories I heard from my mom, my aunts and my grandmother led me to the St. Landry Parish courthouse when I got older, and eventually to other areas to do research on our town using anything available for more information. I especially like to learn how businesses got started, what were the first businesses in town and who were the first professionals. I even wrote a book called Opelousas Firsts. Since that time I’ve learned so much more about some of the first known businesses as well as those that followed. Today, I want to share what I learned about the early jewelers in Opelousas with a focus on Dietlein Jewelry Store that operated over a century ago.
