JERSEYVILLE — Two Jersey County Sheriff’s Office officers received the prestigious Sheriff’s Service Award for their roles in assisting neighboring counties with a multi-county burglary investigation earlier this year. Jersey County Sheriff's Office Detective Sally Arbuthnot and Telecommunicator Megan Ayres were recognized for their investigative efforts that helped identify and apprehend a suspect involved in a series of burglaries across Pike, Calhoun, and Jersey counties. The awards were announced by Jersey County Sheriff Nick Manns on Thursday. The investigation began when the Pike County Sheriff’s Office alerted Detective Arbuthnot to a string of burglaries occurring in Pike and Calhoun counties, sharing a surveillance image of a suspect vehicle. Although the image was of poor quality, Sheriff Manns said it provided details on the vehicle’s color and approximate model. Arbuthnot contacted business owners along State Route 16 in Jersey County to check

ALTON - A protest is scheduled for Monday, July 7, 2025, following a fatal shooting that claimed the life of a 17-year-old Alton girl . On July 4, 2025, police responded to reports of a shooting on Oakwood Avenue and found the victim with an apparent gunshot wound. The victim, a 17-year-old girl, later died from her injuries at a local hospital. At 6:45 p.m. on July 7, 2025, community members will rally at the Alton Housing Authority. “This is our community. That was one of our children,” said Lee Barham, who organized the protest. “Regardless of where she lives, it’s still one of our children. It’s one less that’ll be graduating. She was 17, so she probably would have been graduating next year. That’s one less in the 2026 class we’ll have. That’s one less too many. That’s unacceptable.” This is not the first time Barham has organized a protest or a vigil following gun violence in Alton, including shootings
