New spot for jail tonight

Sheriff Crenshaw’s plan for a new Oconee Jail will given during a 6:30 meeting tonight at Walhalla Depot. Jimmy Watt, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Department, said a large crowd is expected as the new sheriff, he said, is determined to avoid going forward until the proposal is first aired out publicly. And that’s why, he says, if you are interested in whether the new jail should be built on property between the LEC and West View Cemetery, tonight’s meeting is a good opportunity for you.
