“I stand relieved knowing that this violent criminal is no longer a threat to our community,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister, “While we’re grateful that no one fell victim to his actions, let this serve as a reminder that there’s no refuge for those who choose to cause chaos. Committing crimes like this will not go unpunished.”
