The Glenns Ferry Schools are currently in lockdown and will remain as such until further notice. Updates will be posted.

It’s unofficial! Rich Sykes will remain the Mayor for the next four years. A close call to say the least. Pierce had 1060 votes while Sykes had 1475 votes A difference of 415 votes giving Sykes the lead.

The court house was filled with anticipation as the large blue lock boxes were hauled in by the deputies, the rustling of paper bouncing off side conversations as runoff ballots were counted. Pierce was present during the counting as well as members of her election team. Sykes was not in attendance during the count.

On Monday, December 4th, two juveniles entered the Shell station on American Legion and attempted to purchase cigarettes. They were denied due to their age and left the store. A few minutes later the two of them returned, one was now wearing a hat or a ski mask over his face. The other was not covering his face and has been deemed an accomplice.

The accomplice attempted to purchase chips and a drink and while the cash drawer was open the suspect grabbed a handful of vapes. The clerk then tried to keep the kid there by grabbing him, but she was then struck, by the drawer or the suspect kicking her. She was not certain of which, but let the suspect go. The suspect ran. The accomplice remained on the scene until officers arrived, informing them of both his and the suspect’s identities while the authorities reached out to the juveniles’ guardians. Chief Thompson stated that “this was not a robbery, it was a commercial theft.”
