This Weeks Studs County Sheriff's Dept. Crime Report

There was a suspicious package found and reported where the rodeo arena was located last week.  It was originally reported to have sounds of ticking and thought to possibly be a bomb.  After hours of investigation from the police, fire department and the calling in of a bomb squad.....It was finally determined just to be a bunch of Horse Shit!

Fires have been found smoldering along the banks of the river and lake.  They are believed to be campfires.  The river and lake are not zoned for campgrounds and wild grasses and brush have not been cleared for possible fire hazards.   Please do not camp or start fires in these areas.  Those found starting fires are subject to large fines and possible jail time.

A report has been received from Madison County regarding a strange blue algae floating down stream in the river.  If you happen upon any blue algae in Studs County river or lake please report it immediately to the Sheriffs office or Mayor and steer clear of it.

A major explosion took place in Cove Bay county on some private farm land.  After investigation from that county's Sheriff's Dept, it was announced that a gang of criminals had been involved.  So please just as last week, remain vigilante and report any suspicious activity.

And lastly....last week we reported someone attempted to steal  the hardware store's work vehicle.  This week, someone managed to break into one of the county service trucks and take it for a joy ride around the county before finally parking it in the middle of the lake.  Upon returning to the county, Mayor Steve advised that the county service trucks are not amphibious vehicles and should not be used as such!
