Town's only police car is broken, so don't bother calling 911

HESSMER, Louisiana (AP) - Don't bother calling the police if you need help.
A plywood sign in front of the police department reads, "Village of Hessmer: the only police car is broken. If you need assistance contact the mayor and council."
Police Chief Mack Villemarette says he has struggled to get help from the city council or mayor after one of the force's two cars was wrecked in May. The other broke down Sunday.
