11 booked after "Don't Do It" sweep

That pre-dawn knock on the door at homes of several suspected drug dealers and others wasn’t an early visit from Santa. It was Eunice police executing Operation “Don’t Do It” warrants.
Eleven people were caught up in the pre-dawn net cast by Eunice officers with assistance from the City Marshal’s Office, the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Eunice Chief Ronald Dies said the sweep serves as a reminder to narcotics suspects that his department will be vigilant on drug infractions until the day his term ends -- Dec. 31.
“I’m still on the job and we’re still going after them,” Dies said as suspects were being processed through the system at his department. Dies’ term of office ends on the last day December.
He said the investigation leading to the arrest warrants spanned as much as a year of narcotics detectives’ work in some instances.
