Lyon County Sheriff Brent White reports the following activity from the past week: 

- On Sunday, September 29, 2024, just after 8pm, Deputy David Carroll and other local law enforcement officers responded to a disturbance complaint at a residence on KY 819.

Starnes was arrested by Deputy Carroll and charged with Assault-4th Degree. She was lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center.

KY Wildfire Season Begins Tuesday

NO DAYLIGHT BURNING

Gov. Andy Beshear and Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman are urging Kentuckians to be alert as the fall wildfire hazard season begins Oct. 1, bringing outdoor burning restrictions to the state. 

“In 2023, Kentucky experienced more than 1,100 wildfires, with 48,000 acres burned.” said Gov. Beshear. “Let’s work together this wildfire season to be extra cautious and to protect our extraordinary natural resources, our homes and our communities.”  

The commonwealth’s outdoor burning law (KRS149.400) prohibits burning between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. local time if the fire is within 150 feet of any woodland, brushland or field containing dry grass or other flammable materials. These restrictions are in effect every fall (Oct. 1 – Dec. 15) and spring (Feb. 15 – April 30) to help prevent wildfires.  

“The National Interagency Coordination Center’s Predictive Services are indicating the wildfire potential for Kentucky is above normal for October and November. This is due to the lack of precipitation

Crittenden Burn Ban Lifted

Crittenden County's outdoor burn ban was lifted earlier today because there has been sufficient rainfall to correct drought conditions that had created a hazardous situation with regard to wildfires.

As a reminder, the statewide Fall Wildfire Season begins Oct. 1, after which outdoor burning is prohibited during daylight hours from 6am to 6pm within 150 feet of a woodland or grassland. 

Rains Thursday night and throughout Friday have dumped 4-5 inches of rain on the county.
