Vernon on Tuesday, October 12^th. Arrested was Devin Seaters, 30, of Mt. Vernon on theft and burglary charges. The Sheriff noted that a stolen handgun was recovered.

Sheriff McKinley recently stated on Coffee Time, he appreciates the public for reporting suspicious activity and being good witnesses:

“I’m always pleased with our populous—that they call, they let us know what’s going on. I encourage them, let us know. I’d rather get, you know, a hundred calls that were, ‘hey, this may be going on’ and it turns out okay, than miss that one call that was very important that could’ve helped us solve something.”
