Fire alarm wails through the night!
Last night was proof that the fire alarm works at the new still-to-be-opened Oconee Jail. The alarm went off last night while workers were repairing a pump. Major Steve Pruitt, jail director, said they thought they had the alarm silenced by 11:30, but it sounded again during the night. Sheriff Mike Crenshaw says the culprit was a malfunctioning switch and each time it was reset, it would go off again. “We apologize for the inconvenience I am sure it caused the neigbors,” Crenshaw said.
