Sheriff’s deputies equipped for the weather

A winter storm warning is in effect for Oconee from midnight tonight until 7 tomorrow morning.  And the Sheriff’s Office is taking measures to be ready to assist when needed. Sheriff Mike Crenshaw says, “Our Uniform Patrol vehicles have studded tires on them and we do have several 4 wheel drive vehicles that will be used as primary response vehicles should the need arise.”  Routine operations will go on as normal, but Crenshaw says, “If anyone is in need of law enforcement assistance in the county, please contact the Sheriff’s Office and we will respond to those calls.”  If you have a medical emergency, dial 911.
