CRIME NEWS

  • On July 24, 2025, a man in a mental health crisis sat on the outer ledge of the bridge over Highway 151 with his feet dangling while law enforcement tried to talk him down—he cut himself with a knife, took medications, and was later taken into custody and transported to hospital as South Main Street and Highway 151 were closed for the incident.  KFIZ

GOVERNMENT NEWS
