Hello Benton County, we have been busy here at the Sheriff’s Office since my last Dispatch. We’ve been working on the jail to improve its condition by adding a ventilation system to help reduce moisture. The “Bat Lady” returned for a follow up and informed me we had over 9000 bats in the attic after reviewing the thermal video of the evening fly out she recorded earlier this year, (yes you read that right, over 9000 bats.) Measures are being taken to stop their return in the Spring by closing off access points.
