We know many of our readers look forward to the Sheriff’s Report each week. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the report will be significantly shorter in this edition of the newspaper. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the current Sheriff’s report back in next week’s issue. Thank you for your continued support and patience.
