Traffic Diversion in Bienville Parish
Before you pay a traffic ticket in Bienville Parish, read this. The parish posts a clear warning: "ATTENTION: Before you pay your traffic ticket, please call the District Attorney's Office at 318-263-7408 to see if you are eligible for traffic diversion."
Traffic diversion programs let eligible drivers handle a citation in a way that may keep it off their driving record. If you qualify, you may be able to complete a safety course or meet other conditions instead of pleading guilty and paying a fine. Paying the ticket outright without checking first could mean giving up that option. Call the DA's office at the number above before doing anything else.
