Good morning, Jackson County. Blue lights pierced the darkness this weekend as law enforcement officers from across the Mid-Ohio Valley came together for Operation Blue Sky. The five-town procession illuminated the night in a moving tribute to those who serve and protect during National Police Week. This display of solidarity among departments showed that even in challenging times, our region's officers stand united in their commitment to community safety.
In a less ceremonial encounter with law enforcement, the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport became the stage for an unusual game of identity hide-and-seek. What began with a trespassing warning escalated when William Cottrill, initially identifying himself as "Nathan Monclar," was spotted walking dangerously along Airport Road. His refusal to follow commands led to an arrest that revealed his true identity—and multiple charges including obstruction. Apparently, some lessons about honesty with law enforcement need to be learned the hard way.
