Courthouse Security in Iberville Parish

The Advocate reports that 18th Judicial District Judge William Dupont and Iberville Parish President Mitch Ourso expressed differences in opinion regarding which of them is responsible for providing security at the Iberville Parish Courthouse.

"I invite you to come and watch on court day here. You ought to watch that circus, the people coming and going. Security here is an issue for the judges, not the Parish Council," Ourso said to the Iberville Parish Council.

The debate eventually turned ugly.
