Benton County Sheriff's Dispatch

Published by admin on Wed, 10/26/2022 - 3:50pm
 
Hello Benton County,
 
I’m sure by now most of you are aware of the Federal presence in or county on October 7th when O’Dell and Perry were arrested for trying to insight others to travel to Texas to kill illegal immigrants and border patrol agents, as well as attack Washington DC. I spoke to the special agent in charge about our community and other communities just like ours. My sentiment is that vigilantism will become more prevalent in American society as time goes by.
