On December 5th, 2024 at approximately 1038 Hours Chief Deputy Rob Conn was on routine patrol on KY 559 when he observed a 2005 Buick Lesabre, operated by a Kara King of Wallingford KY, pass him in a no passing zone. Chief Deputy Conn activated his emergency equipment in order to signal King to pull over but she failed to do so and accelerated in an attempt to elude him and continued north on KY 559 at speeds of over 85 MPH. Chief Deputy Conn was joined in the pursuit by Deputy James Welch (K9 Rex) and Deputy Dustin Cooper. King continued to travel north on KY 559 at high speeds and in an extremely reckless manner. The pursuit continued through Wallingford and King turned on Tharp Cemetery Road and then turned onto a dead end private driveway. The pursuit continued off the roadway and into a private drive, around a house, and several outbuildings, before King drove through a fence, and continued off road through a field. Once King came to the end of the field and into a tree line, she jumped out of the car and attempted to run on foot. With the assistance of K9 Rex, who tracked King through the woods and led Deputies to Kings location, where she was arrested without further incident.

King was charged with Fleeing and Evading, Wanton Endangerment, and numerous other traffic offenses, and was lodged in the Mason County Jail.

Our shave the beard contest is now over.

Our shave the beard contest is now over. Stay tuned for our live feed on Monday at 12:00 to see who will be beardless!!

We would like to thank everyone who donated to our shop with a cop.

It is once again the season of giving!

Please help us by supporting our annual "Shop with a Cop" program which enables local law enforcement officers to take dozens of children out for an evening of Christmas shopping and holiday celebration.

As an incentive to encourage your participation in our "Shop with a Cop" fundraiser we are going to try something new this year. Santa is famous for his long wiskers and so are several of our officers, and while we wouldn't want to shave Santa's wiskers off it might be fun to shave the wiskers off one of our officers! To determine which one it will be simply make a donation to our "Shop with a Cop" program in the name of the officer you would most like to see lose his wiskers. Whomever has the most donated in his name by December 13th will lose his wiskers on the following Monday to a sharp razor and hopefully steady hand! You may place your vote by bringing in your donation to the sheriffs office.

Thank you for helping us give a child a Merry Christmas.
