- On Tuesday, November 26, 2024, around 2:20pm, Sheriff Brent White responded to a traffic hazard complaint from KYTC personnel on the East bound off-ramp of I-24 at Exit 40. Upon his arrival, he assisted a broken-down motorist by calling a tow truck to have a vehicle removed from the shoulder. While there, he observed a man (unrelated) on the exit ramp of the interstate and motioned for him to come off of the ramp. The man refused to get off the ramp and upon contact, he began to argue that he could legally stand on the exit ramp. When he was told that no pedestrians could be on a limited access highway by law, he yelled, got upset, and continued to be argumentative. He was arrested and charged with Stopping/Standing/Parking on Limited Access Highway. He was identified as James D. Owens (51) of Illinois. Owens was lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center.
