Turkey Blessings
Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Iris Winston shakes hands with 94-year-old Vergie Jones after giving Jones and her son, David, center, a Thanksgiving turkey as part of the LPSO’s annual Turkeys for Tickets program. Deputies give away 100 frozen turkeys, usually to motorists who commit traffic violations that could normally have netted them a ticket. David Jones was turning in his mom’s driveway on Beacon Light Road when deputies spotted him and decided he needed a turkey. Leader photo by Nancy Bergeron
