I. Stats (:38)
Summary: There are currently 453 inmates in Henderson County Jail with 95 of those being contract prisoners. The average population for the year is 441.
Remember: We've taken a break from the podcast so the last time we reported the stats was in April.
II. Manhunt (1:58)
Summary: The Sheriff's Office conducted a manhunt for Ryan Phillip Rasch Tuesday, May 31, off CR 3603 south of Brownsboro. He was wanted for a felony arrest warrant. He evaded police initially, but Sheriff Hillhouse called in support, and between law enforcement and information from local residents, Rasch was apprehended.
Quote: "We just surrounded the area," Sheriff Hillhouse said. "He didn't have anywhere to go and we were able to apprehend him with the community telling us which way they last saw him. It came together great."
Also: The new radios made a big difference during this manhunt.
III. Murder Investigation (5:10)
Summary: The Henderson County Sheriff's Office arrested three men in connection with a murder on Friday, May 27. Arrested were Dalan Clowdus, Steven Clowdus, and William Hux.
Thursday, May 26, Investigators received information about a missing persons case which led to the discovery of the body of the missing person in a shallow grave on property off of Green Tree Acres Road. The investigation led to arrest warrants for the three men.
Saturday, May 28, Investigators were able to locate the location of the murder and collect physical evidence from the scene.
