Phone Update: Some Phone Service Restored

Phone service has been restored in some, but not all, parts of Crittenden County.

Some 965 and 988 prefixes are now able to make and receive calls.

We attempted to call the Sheriff's Office in Crittenden County, and the woman who answered the phone said, "Honey, we don't have power, gas or water. All I can say is it's a state of emergency."

She said the department is absolutely swamped and can barely keep up with calls. Unless it's an emergency, please don't call the sheriff's department.
