On Friday March 4, 2016 at 10:28 pm, the Sheriff’s Office was notified of a vehicle that went partially airborne over the roundabout at the intersection of Cty P and Cty NN. Just prior to the accident, the vehicle was reported to the Sheriff’s Office as all over the roadway and nearly struck the complainant. The suspect vehicle, driving by a 52-year-old Sussex man, was southbound on Cty P when the vehicle stuck the roundabout with enough force to flatten two tires on the vehicle and cause it to become airborne. The operator continued to operate the vehicle on two flat tires for approximately 1.5 miles until he stopped on the backside of St. Joseph’s Hospital near the loading docks. St. Joseph’s Hospital Security Staff assisted the Sheriff’s Office at the scene and the driver was arrested for 2nd offense OWI after he failed sobriety testing. A breath test was done which revealed the driver was over 3 times the legal limit of .08. The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the caller who continued to follow the suspect vehicle while remaining in constant contact with the Communications Center to ensure this dangerous driver was taken off the road.

On Sunday, 3/6/16 at 11:30 pm, an area resident called the Sheriff’s Office reporting a male subject going through cars in the 800 block of Church St. in Allenton.

The responding deputies made contact with the car owners to inform them of the incident, and the owners did not believe anything was missing at that time. The only description of the subject was a thin build male wearing sweatshirt with his hood up and carrying a flashlight and a bag.
