Starting off the work week, The Crittenden Press is tracking down information on a new story regarding vandalism at the high school late last week. Someone painted explicit messages on the school, gymnasium and even sprayed down some private vehicles parked nearby on Elm Street. Tipline is offering a $500 reward for a conviction of the persons responsible. Call 965-3000 to leave a tip and remain anonymous.
Got an update on Steffany Smith-Lester, the 21-year-old pregnant woman hurt in a Feb. 12 accident on the Ledbetter Bridge. Sheriff Wayne Agent, who is friends with the family, said he went to Vanderbilt Hospital last weekend to visit the young woman. She underwent hip surgery Sunday and remains in a coma. Her 16-week-old unborn child remains in pretty good condition. While Smith-Lester remains in very critical condition, there are some small signs of improvement.
Amy Hill-Tabor, the young woman from Marion seriously injured in an accident in Bowling Green a couple of weeks ago, has been moved from the hospital to a rehabilitation center in Marshall County. Her condition has not shown much improvement, however.
We were saddened by the death of Evan Shelby over the weekend. Shelby lived on the golf course and always surprised me how he could play golf with one hand. He had lost one of his hands in an accident years ago.
Stayed tuned for The Crittenden Press printed edition for an update on these and other stories.
