Osage County Sheriff
I have received several compliments about my weekly column. To
those people I say "thank-you'’ and 'thank-you's* to the Pawhuska
Journal-Capital and the Hominy News Progress for allowing me to
run the column each week
Did you know that Sgt. Ron Barnes, besides being the District #2
Supervisor and working a shift, also instructs area law enforcement
officers on how to respond to and report incidents of domestic vio-
lence? He does this in addition to this regular assignment and
receives no additional compensation for it. Super job, Ron!
The Osage County Sheriff's Office is obtaining two hand-held radar
units to be used by the field deputies around the county, to borrow
a phrase from the OHP... "Watch your speed, we are." Future com-
plaints from county residents concerning vehicles "flying" up and
down county roads can now be handled without having to rely on
the OHP.
One of my periodic chores is to scan the reports as they come in.
Frequently these reports concern incidents involving juveniles
drinking. One such incident occurred a couple of weekends ago out
at Bluestem Lake alleging the rape of a 17-year-old female at a "keg"
party. The allegations are yet to be proven but it seems underage
"keg" parties across the county are becoming all to common place. It
makes me wonder where we, as parents, are failing. Speaking as a
parent, I should think parental responsibility should apply some-
where, sometime.
By the way, all of you computer users should be pleased to learn
that the Osage County Sheriff's Office now has a web page. You may
view it at www.osco.net. My computer guru Chuc McGuire is in the
process of adding some historical information to the page. If you
have some interesting information or old photos get with Chuc.
Drunk drivers kill or maim more people than any other type of
accident If you have to drink don't drive!
