In a report to magistrates during Monday night’s Trigg County Fiscal Court, Sheriff Aaron Acree noted it was a “busy, busy” October for investigations.
Among them he said were three burglary reports, all of which did result in the retrieving and returning of stolen property to rightful owners.
Of October’s more than 670 calls for service, he added that only five were for collisions with injuries, and 18 were for non-injuries. With deer hunting season in play, he said he expected those totals to be much higher.
Furthermore, there were:
+ 17 disturbance complaints
+ 23 self-initiated investigations from Acree’s deputies
+ 33 reckless drivers were reported, mostly coming from interstate traffic
+ three suicidal calls, one of which was fatal, and the other two resulted in treatment programs
+ and the year’s highest amount of traffic stops, up to 171
That’s nearly six traffic stops per day, and Acree said those stops resulted in 62 citations issued, 25 arrests made, 23 papers served, and 95 verbal warnings issued.
In other court news:
— Judge-Executive Stan Humphries revealed a lengthy calendar of community events that will occur over the next week, including:
+ This Friday’s first-ever “United to Serve” Genesis Express banquet, which brings in legendary former Wildcat Al Baker for a 3:30 PM meet-and-greet at the Intergenerational Center, as well as guest speaker later at the Lexie Bush Convention Center
+ The Trigg County Veterans Day Parade is planned for 11 AM Monday, November 11, with a program to follow at the West Cadiz Park. The VFW will serve as contingency in case of inclement weather.
+ And Trigg County’s “Mingle & Jingle,” which will be November 15 and 16 courtesy from the Chamber of Commerce
— Humphries also said that the Pennyrile District Health Department director interviews will be held this Friday, with three good candidates on the slate. The hiring committee for this is the five county judge-executives served by the facility, located in Eddyville.
