UPDATED 11:57 P.M.: Duval, Grogan win mayoral elections

Duval Arthur will be the new mayor of Berwick, while Patterson re-elected Mayor Rodney Grogan in Tuesday's primary according to complete but unofficial returns.

Also in Patterson, Garrett S. Grogan won a three-candidate race outright to become the city's new police chief.

In Berwick, Mayor Louis Ratcliff and three of the five council members were term-limited, and the two remaining council members decided not to run for re-election. Duval moves to the council table's middle chair after serving on the council.

Garrett Grogan got 55 percent of the vote to beat James Carinhas and Craig A. Verdine in the race to succeed longtime Police Chief Patrick LaSalle, who resigned last spring.

Also in Patterson, six people qualified to run at large for five council seats. One of those seats is being vacated by incumbent Larry Mendoza, who didn't run for re-election.

The other four incumbents were re-elected. And for the fifth spot, Lee Condolle got 1,069 votes to edge William "Billy" Picou Jr. by just nine votes.
