Meeting held about recent crime spree

NOXON - Tuesday night saw emotions run high as concerned citizens voiced opinions, asked questions and regaled fellow citizens and elected officials with personal stories about the rash of crime in the western section of Sanders County. A meeting that was originally planned for the fire hall in Noxon had to be moved to the Noxon school’s multipurpose room to accommodate the number of citizens who attended. So many people showed up, that several had to stand along the walls and back into the hallway. The meeting was held so Sheriff Tom Rummel, Undersheriff Lanny Hensley, Commissioner Tony Cox and County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Zimmerman could address the community on the crime problem and answer questions or concerns of the public. Commissioner Carol Brooker was present, but sat with the public.
