Animals kept our Deputies busy with over 40 loose livestock calls. Some of these calls are repeat calls where fences are in poor condition. Unfortunately, such cases will cause livestock owners to receive citations in the future. One vehicle hit a cow on SH 21, luckily the driver was not injured.

There were even 2 dogs causing issues, with one taking a cell phone and causing an alert, and another locking an owner out of their vehicle.

 

The Veteran's Day breakfast was very well attended. We remain grateful for our Veterans each and every day.

 

Respectfully yours,

Garrett Durrenberger

Sheriff, Lee County
