Hello. A couple of things. First, thank you to Sips-N-Trips in Teays Valley for providing our office a special discount on their yummy “loaded teas” and “dirty sodas” today. They are located by the library if you need a pick me up drink. Secondly, we have received numerous complaints about “fire lane parking” especially in front of the new Wing Stop restaurant. We are directing deputies assigned to that area of patrol to monitor this and provide friendly warnings….at first. We would love to avoid writing citations for this so please park in a proper spot and leave the fire lane open. This seems to be a continual issue at Liberty Square and Kroger. Expect to see us in those areas. Is this the crime of the century…..no. However, people complain and we do our best to address issues. Again, our intial goal is to control this issue with discretionary warnings and friendly banter. If that does not help, citations under WV code 17C-13-3(5) will be issued. ... See MoreSee Less

All drivers and occupants were transported to a medical facility for injuries caused by the collision. The department’s accident reconstructionist was called to the scene to assist with the investigation. The collision is still under investigation until all statments and evidence can be collected and processed.

Super Bowl Sunday 🏈 is a popular night for parties which means alcohol will be consumed like milk in an elementary school cafeteria. Let’s get the designated driver off the bench and on the field of play. If you can’t get a designated driver, call a cab or get one of those uber lyfters to pick you up. My prediction for the game: Seahawks 2 Patriots 0. For the puppy bowl, a corgi runs it in for a late touchdown as a weiner dog( always wanted to put weiner in a post) misses a goal line tackle.
Update: I was advised the puppy bowl was played earlier today and no one actually knows who won because it’s just a bunch of puppies acting like puppies. ... See MoreSee Less
