Now why would this bandito be suspected of sticky fingering copper in Hurricane?
A. Field worker for the Tommy Copper clothing company assigned to a product improvement team ?
B. Disgruntled pennies are being discriminated against and spearheading a GoFund me page to bring back copper pennies?
C. Believes copperheads are actually made of copper and doing his part in destroying their secretive nesting site?
D. Nefarious reasons?
Any who, Deputy Ford would like to solve this mystery and ask him a few questions regarding some missing copper at 2264 U.S. Rt. 60, Hurricane. If you have any information, Deputy Ford can be reached at

I have always directed extra patrols of route 35. This has been and will continue to be a priority of my office. The tragic loss of life this time, as well as previously, is something we take seriously.
I beg motorists to take into consideration the road conditions, speed, and weather when traveling Route 35.

Lets address some rumors and ideas from the public regarding Rt. 35 patrols by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
Facts:
-Deputies patrol Rt. 35 during their routine shifts as well as the other roadways and answering calls for service.
- The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office participates in the Governor’s Highway Safety Program which is directed to stop speeding motorists. Most of these extra OVERTIME patrols occur on…….. Rt. 35! That is correct, deputies work their 12 hour shift and stay out to work extra patrols.
-The Putnam County Sheriffs office is a continual award winning agency in traffic enforcement, including speed patrol, impaired driving enforcement, and distracted driving patrols.
-Citizens demand extra patrols and citations be issued but complain about receiving a citation. Wait,, what?😵💫
————————————————————
We will continue to patrol and do our job for the safety and betterment of the citizens of Putnam County.
