The Covington News Share    
As an investigator with the Newton County Sheriffs Office (NCSO), Sharron Stewart works with runaways and child molestations and the families of missing persons.

as an undercover investigator in charge of catching online predators. More
Ohio Sheriff: Drug Dealers Lured to University Populations
KentNewsNet.com
Share
Three recent drug arrests on Kent State University's campus raise the question: How common are drugs around here?
They're not as frequent as you'd think, says Portage County Sheriff David Doak. He said the Portage County Drug Task Force just goes wherever drug activity is greatest.
"Dealers don't think about penalties," he said. "They just go wherever they can, and, where you have large numbers of people, business becomes lucrative, and they make sales. They go wherever the sale is made."

About 1,000 Tasers will soon hit the DeKalb County streets, marking the second time the police

State Police Forces Shrink
USA Today
Share
The number of highway patrol officers has shrunk in a dozen states in the past 13 years and failed to keep pace with
population gains in others, leaving stretches of highways unpatrolled during late-night and early-morning hours, a USA Today analysis of federal and state data finds.
The shortages, which come as states battle billions of dollars in budget gaps, have forced places such as Oregon to cut down on 24-hour patrolling. Other states, such as Michigan, also have limited how many miles a trooper can drive per day.

In Prison, Playing Just to Kill Time and Just Maybe to Help Solve a Murder
The New York Times
Share
In the down time before another head count, two prisoners play cards. One inmate shuffles and the other flicks his hand, a mystical cutting of the deck. The dealt cards land on the lid of a garbage can used as a table, falling on top of one another, face down.
A form of gin rummy breaks out in the courtyard of the Campbell Pre-Release Center as the inmates, Mark and Mario, toss their unwanted cards into the discard pile. But from deuce to ace, nearly every card is a face card, looking up
in silent appeal.
The cards ask: Do you know who killed me? And they ask: Do you know where I am? And they ask: Do you know something? Anything? The South Carolina Department of Corrections started selling these decks in its prison canteens for $1.72 about a year ago; since then, inmates have bought more than 10,000 packs.

Border-security Cash Leaves Towns in Arizona on the Hook
the Arizona Daily Star
Share
Federal grant money from Operation Stonegarden may seem like a windfall for the cities and counties that have eagerly accepted it. But the funds have not been totally free -- and in some communities taxpayers will be
obligated for decades.
City and county governments had to foot the bill for mileage and maintenance -- and employee-related expenses in some cases -- during the first two-year grant cycle. Officials at the 10 state agencies included in the Arizona Daily Star's investigation couldn't provide actual costs and declined to estimate, but it likely cost an estimated $910,000 statewide, according to calculations done by the Star.

Security Threats Inside and Out for 9/11 Trial
USA Today
Share
Hot sauce and a comb were all an al-Qaida suspect in New York needed to nearly kill one of his guards nine years ago. The bloody episode suggests that security worries in bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 suspects to trial here could be just as big inside the courthouse as outside.
Already, the U.S. marshals are promising the highest security possible -- an acknowledgement of how dangerous terrorism suspects have been in the past.
