Jacob Andrew Bennett, a former Drew Central student, accepted a guilty plea to the charge of “threatening to commit an act of mass violence on school property”, earlier this week, in reference to the April Drew Central school threat, referenced below.

In earlier pre-trial court hearings, Bennett’s attorney described his social media postings about going “Columbine“ as a reference to a song or video games.

The 10 year probation sentence, as in all instances, could lead to prison time, if any other criminal activity or violations occur from the defendant. (more…)

MLive spoke with County Judge Griffin, Thursday afternoon, who wanted to emphasize that, due to circumstances beyond their control, the county sanitation department is down to one operational trash truck.

With that being said, Judge Griffin, suggests everyone leave their full trash cans at their normal pick up site, and trash crews will be running as much as possible, including routes on Saturday, to catch back up.

The county apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

At 5:45 AM, this morning, a Drew County deputy pulled over a concrete truck, who was spilling part of his load on Highway 425 N., between Sonic and Walmart.

ARDOT has been notified and hopefully will be able to clean up the mess.

Please drive with caution, especially in this area.

We have been asked to point out that Select Concrete was not involved in the incident.

ARDOT cleanup took place prior to 8 AM.
