CLAY CO.—Sheriff Jim Sulsberger of Clay County has issued the following press release:
On April 12, 2013, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office received an outstanding warrant for Denny D. Blanchard, 26, Effingham, for 2 Counts of Murder and 2 Counts of Aggravated Battery of A Child. Subsequently to receiving this warrant, Blanchard was arrested by the Illinois State Police and transported to the Clay County Jail. Blanchard’s bond is set at one million dollars.
