The Police Jury has filled two posts that controversial absent juror Jay Scott last month nominated himself for but failed to get a second.

That March session ended with President Joe Bishop encouraging civil behavior by and between members, none named.

Subsequently he filed a district court petition seeking a permanent injunction against Scott, alleging he made threats against jury employees and/or jurors as well as making untoward references.

Scott responded through his attorney that what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.

He pointed to alleged uncivil, abusive behavior in Bishop’s past though not related to his police jury duties.

The statement was not a court filing.

In Scott’s absence this month jurors without dissent appointed Danny Bordelon to a four-year term on the Rapides Area Planning Commission and Ollie Overton to four years on the Transportation Policy Committee.

As far as is known, Scott’s absence at this month’s meeting was not a result of any court action.
