Barely three months have elapsed in 2013 and the news in Webster County continues to be dominated by arrests, indictments, convictions, sentencing, and termination of parental rights of persons involved with methamphetamine (meth).

  1. Glad to see this county getting cleaned up. I was starting to worry if this place was safe to live anymore. Didn't seem like the law cared anymore.

  2. Very sad , such a small county to have so much " yuck" in it. webster County use to be a beautiful place and I don't remember it being so drug infested in the eighties and early nineties .

  4. I wonder if this is the result of a new sheriff? or we are just getting fed up as a community? either way, I hope they are all cleaned up and we begin earning back the respect we once had.
