At 4:10 PM, Sunday afternoon, Monticello dispatch was notified of a collision at Montongo on Highway 425 N.

A Honda SUV and a Ford F150 pick up were involved.

Two victims were transported to Baptist drew by MASI.

DCSO, ASP, Reggie and Rangel Wreckers responded.

Monticello Fire and Rescue was dispatched, but their call was canceled. Some still responded.

Friday, at noon, the Monticello Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting at Breaker for their grand reopening.

City Council member Clarissa Pace read a proclamation from Mayor Jason Akers honoring them for being the last remaining Breaker drive-in, of the national chain.

Pace, on behalf of the local NAACP chapter, then honored Larry Reese and his family, for being the longest running black owned business in the community, at the event, as well.

At 3:38 PM, Friday afternoon, there was a minor traffic accident involving a Monticello school bus and a tractor trailer, north of Walmart.

MPD and Monticello school officials quickly responded, and confirmed that there were no damage and no injuries.

Going the “extra distance” was something Austin Powell strived for to be a college athlete, and putting that motto to use as an Arkansas Game and Fish Commission game warden has helped him make several big cases in just four years on the job.

The 26-year-old, based out of the AGFC Enforcement Division’s Monticello office, dedicated many man hours to his caseload, but he also put time this past year into building a love of the outdoors among youths through such events as the National Wild Turkey Federation’s JAKES Day in Rison. For his work, Powell became among the youngest winners ever of the AGFC’s Monty Carmikle Officer of the Year Award, presented in late July.
