LAFAYETTE, La. â Lafayette City Marshal Reggie Thomas has abandoned his offer to supply security for City Hall.
Thomas, who was elected last fall, is a former longtime Lafayette City Police officer, having risen to the chief and deputy chief positions. The City Marshal's duties usually are center on City Court, both for security and for serving warrants.
Shortly after his swearing-in, the new City Marshal floated a plan to provide deputy marshals to provide security at City Hall.
But Monday, he issued a press release stating that plan had been scrapped.
