Sheriff Guides Media Through South Bossier Neighborhoods

Sheriff Whittington and media representatives rode through flooded areas of South Bossier Parish in a high-water vehicle this afternoon. They visited the Caplis-Sligo Road area, Shadow Ridge subdivision and Pecan Grove subdivision. Note, however, that the water level during this video Saturday afternoon is about 1 to 1 ½ feet lower than Friday. Bossier Sheriff’s Office deputies, Louisiana National Guard Soldiers, South Bossier Fire District #2 firefighters, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and other first responders have rescued and evacuated an estimated 300 to 400 residents, at the least, from these areas and other locations in South Bossier Parish alone. They have evacuated many pets as well. Bossier Sheriff’s Office maintains a South Bossier Mobile Command Center at the Red River South Travel Plaza on Highway 71, working alongside the above-named agencies. South Bossier has been highly impacted by the flooding, and parish officials are doing all they can to ensure the safety of the residents. Video by Allen J.M. Smith, Bossier Sheriff’s Office
