The Town of Coushatta is under a night-time curfew beginning tonight.  The town is ordering everyone off the streets and in their homes from 8:00 pm until 6:00 am.

Mayor Johnny Cox said, “This is to comply with the Governor’s mandate to stay home.  We want everyone in their homes at night.”

Notice of the curfew was sent to area media, however it was not posted on the door of the Town Hall or Police Department.  Both Town Hall and the Police Department have been closed to visitors since the middle of March with business done by appointment or online.

City Police will enforce the curfew beginning Friday night.  But Mayor Cox said, It is effective immediately.
