🚓 Warrant at the pump

Ross County • March 5, 2026

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Ross County. Here's a stat that tells the whole story: nineteen incidents in one shift. March 3 saw the Sheriff's Office juggle everything from drug possession to unlawful sexual conduct investigations, with cases spanning Richmond Dale to the Law Enforcement Center. A missing juvenile turned up and headed straight to detention, while protection order violations kept deputies moving across the county.

The day before wasn't much quieter—Deputy Williamson spotted someone with an active warrant at a Waverly gas station, leading to drug charges that turned a fuel stop into a felony arrest. On a brighter note, Ross County just celebrated Career and Technical Education Month by honoring two Pickaway-Ross CTC students who prove that hands-on learning builds futures, not just resumes.
