Jewitt Hulin has decided it was time for him to stop being a public servant.
For the last 65 years, Hulin has worked for the Vermilion Parish Police Jury or drainage boards.
This month, he stepped down as the secretary/treasurer for seven different drainage boards in the parish. For 30-plus years, he attended seven drainage board meetings once a month. While there, he kept meeting notes and oversaw the drainage board’s finances.
Before being on the drainage boards, he was the secretary/treasurer for the police jury for 30 years.

According to Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office’s Public Information Officer, Eddie Langlinais, the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is actively investigating the theft of a Utility Trailer and Zero-Turn lawn mower.

According to Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office’s Public Information Officer and Violent Crimes Task Force Director Eddie Langlinais, a current uptick of criminal activity in the Abbeville area led to the reactivation of the Violent Crimes Task Force (VCTF).
As a result of that move, on Sept. 27, the VCTF Criminal Suppression Unit (VCTF-CSU) was formed, establishing a joint effort between the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Abbeville Police Department focusing on street crimes and violence in the Abbeville area.
