Wabash County Sheriff Derek Morgan reported to the county board this week that there seems to be a rise in the number of domestic disputes in the county.
In his written report, Morgan also said his department is still holding one inmate awaiting transfer to the department of corrections. Negotiations have been ongoing between the DOC and the Illinois Sheriff’s Association on reimbursing counties for housing prisoners who should’ve been in a state facility during the pandemic. But, Morgan reported the DOC gave the sheriff’s association an non-answer about negotiating payment last week.
