The Washington County Sheriff’s Department was not as busy last week, as they had been in previous weeks. They responded to a residence in rural Ashley for a report of theft, assisted the Illinois State Police with a traffic crash on Route 127, north of Connecticut Road, assisted a subject with ministerial alliance, received a report of a power pole across a road in Ashley on Friday, responded to a complaint of noise in Richview, responded to an accident on Saturday on Route 15 near Halfacre Road, west of Nashville, as a vehicle driven by a 17-year old juvenile of Addieville swerved to avoid an animal and lost control of the vehicle, resulting in it overturning.  There was no mention of any injuries.  They also arrested 29-year old Amber N. Winter of Carbondale for driving while license suspended. She was also cited for no valid driver’s license and operating an uninsured vehicle.  They also received a report of a burglary in the Covington area a week ago, as a building was broken into and a firearm was stolen.  If anyone has any information on this crime, they are asked to call the Sheriff’s Tip Line at 888-376-7847.
