SHERIFF MIKE KNOEDL - WEEKLY UPDATE 02/28/2025

Good morning. I hope you are all well and have had a good week.

Our week started with the majority of my deputies working a two-vehicle accident on Highway 9 and 273 near County Road 206. Both drivers were injured, and it took several hours to clear the roadway.

We also worked a serious side-by-side rollover accident off Highway 46 this week. There were injuries in that one as well.

We had our monthly criminal Circuit Court this past Wednesday, and some cases were adjudicated. They are:

Dalton Capps pled guilty to his Revocation charges and received 4 years in the ADC plus costs and fees.

Kaely Gandy pled true to Revocation charges and received 3 years in the ADC in addition to costs and fees.
