Crazy Jim Watcon
HARRISBURG—Seven-day shutdown imposed on biker bar: The basics of what went on during the liquor commission hearing of Poor Boys last week…but most importantly, the truth behind why no steps have been taken to discipline the place up until now.
WABASH CO./U.S. DISTRICT COURT—Indicted for fraud of millions: The Kevin Williams story, including what mainstream media won’t tell you about what happened between 2004-06…and how this might have been avoided if he’d been taken care of back then.
LAWRENCE CO.—Major meth bust at farm location: We were told last summer about Jimmy Mahrenholz…and that his drinking buddy at The Moose in Lawrenceville, Lisa Wade, wouldn’t do anything about him. Nice to have a prosecutor who finally WILL.
Jodi Daws
CLAY CO.—Former village clerk found dead in home: We covered this briefly here at the website, but didn’t go into the depth that we do in the print article…and there’s quite a bit of depth, and, we suspect, more to come.

EDGAR CO.—Heading to trial?: They hadn’t made up their minds, when we went to press, whether or not there’d be a trial date set for Terry Payton, and the February 19 date having been set months ago might be a total wash. We’re following this one closely; be watching in the Heartland section of the site for updates.

SALINE CO.—Former prosecutor’s kid caught with dope; having sex in the park with local teen: Hey Wabash County….you ever wonder what your former prosecutor was up to since he got you for a million in IMRF? It sure as fuck wasn’t raising his kid. Or WAS it?

LAWRENCE CO.—Warrantless search finally results in charges; accused parents wonder about validity of the counts against them: Why Lisa Wade didn’t formally charge Jerri Lynn Leighty and CC Cochran is a mystery…but Quick did…and there’s a considerable amount of question as to whether the charges should have happened at all.
RICHLAND CO.—Charged with cookin dope at the Traveler’s Inn: What a wonderful place to stay while you’re touring Richland County, eh?
WABASH CO.—Prosecutor ignores violence against officer; cuts deal for probation in strangulation case: Another prosecutor who doesn’t care when officers get attacked. And Cassandra wants to be our next judge. Please don’t let our circuit go that way, folks.
