Once again our reptile guy, Officer Sparacello detained and released this Speckled King Snake that decided to trespass on a resident's front porch.

We would like to remind the public that summer time is here, which means snakes will be more active. Remember to protect your children and pets while outside. Rule of thumb, if you dont know for sure what kind of snake it is...dont touch it!

At approximately 4:15pm yesterday the Livingston Police Department, Livingston Fire Department and Acadian Ambulance responded to a call for medical assistance on Red Oak road near Nevada street. It was discovered by officers that an elderly male driver had suffered from a medical emergency while driving. Amazingly, his vehicle came to rest without any additional incidents. The driver was pronounced deceased at this location. Out of respect for his family and friends, as well as a continued investigation, the drivers name is not being released at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. We are also thankful that there were no other injuries in the path of this vehicle.
