Four juveniles were arrested recently in connection with several recent burglaries in the Garnett Ward Road, Jacob’s Field and Bryce Landing areas off Hwy. 29 south near Hull.
According to Major Shawn Burns, chief deputy with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, four 16 –year-old males were arrested in connection with the case, after officers canvassed the area on four-wheelers. Burns said all four of the teens live in that general area. Officers also recovered several items during the search, including a dirt bike, a plasma TV and a rifle case.
There needs to be a change in the system. Make the time spent in prison hard for these offenders and maybe they will get on the right track.
How many times does it take for a person to be a habitual offender?
I stand on my comment. This county must be so desperate it puts the criminals on probation to fill its loss of revenue.
Collect the unpaid taxes. Foreclose on anyone a year or more delinquent. See how fast the pockets fill up and put these criminals behind bars for good.AKV
I have seen first hand the damage from drunks and it taught me there was nothing in it for me. Luckily I never had the problem.
I have also seen the damage a child molester can do to a family and the victims. There is no forgetting it and there is no forgiveness. And anyone that says there is has never been through it or they have and they are lieing to themselves.
Unfortunately, it will not change anytime soon because the county is more concerned with money than the welfare of the people in Madison County. If they would just collect the taxes owed to them it would solve alot of the financial problems.
nothing about because you don't have a job! With this
being said, come to the courthouse and find out who is
missing.

You did not respond, you must have figured out who I am
and now you understand you better back off of me!
All bark and no bite..
Oh, as far as backing off...I do not know who you think you are, but I am not scared of you. I don't even know who you are, but why would anyone be scared of an employee that is wasting tax dollars while working?
Get a life!
The county needs to get rid of you, but hey, you already kknow that and that's why you won't state your name!! COWARD!!!
This is a prime example of what is wrong with the justice system in Madison County. Certain officials in the court system are using their positions to bennefit certain people, and that is wrong on every level. If you are ok with that, then just say so, otherwise...deal with my opinion. Better yet, deal with it anyway!
I am not part of the judicial system in Madison County.
You obviously have either too much time on your hand or you have anger issues you need to get worked out.
What makes you think anyone HAS to deal with your opinion?
We once had a pretty decent conversation on here. I would say if you are that unhappy with the judicial system here MOVE.
As far as my opinion goes, you DON'T have to deal with it, all you have to do is not respond. Like I said before, anyone that uses a "county title" to try and bully people, is wrong. If you are okay with them doing that, then you are as ignorant as they are arrogant, and that is sad to say the least.
have the ability to come out and take pictures of your
home and have tickets issued for all the trash you have
in your yard and can make your taxes go up for any
improvements you have failed to get permits for, and if
you have not paid your taxes I can take action. I've
been working in the same job for many years and plan
to be many more years there.
If you are writting posts at 9:20 am you must be doing it from a county computer. Who would be foolish enough to put their job on the line especially if you have been there for many years..If you can't say who you are, you need to go away.
I think it is just some regular JOE bored and looking for attention so I choose to ignore him. He is probably umemployed and mooching off the county.
We have listened to the bickering and fighting over this issue for YEARS! It is about time the county did something about the problem. Actions speak louder than words.
I would like an explaination from whoever is responsible to procecute people who do not pay their taxes. Is this person still employeed with the county? Could it be this person is behind in their taxes too?
Maybe if we started a petition demanding action on tax dodgers, something would get done about it. Someone needs to do something to pressure the tax collector into doing the job they were hired to do.
I wonder if that is the problem with the county keeping a tax collector, they honest ones are frustrated by the road blocks and they quit.
Too bad it is not required that property taxes are collected monthly by the company holding the mortgages and put in escrow. Then there is no option but to pay them or default on the mortgage payment.
Why did I come here, my company pulled out of Florida and I had four children to support so I transfered here with them.
Why did I stay here? I bought a home here and had children in school. They were happy here and that was more important.
Now my children are grown and have children of their own and I want to be a part of their lives. I also have a very good job here .
Here's an alternate solution. Maybe it's time for people from bigger citites and towns to move back where they came from since it was obviously so much better there.
They may not like this screwed up county but they won't move so they must like something about Madison County?
Dont blame your crime rate on anyone from other states.
Tell me your taxes have not been screwed up for over ten years. Did people from another state do that to you, I don't think so.
The reason your taxes went up was because you waited twenty years to update the property values and the people intrusted to do that job were people that were from here in Madison County so what does that tell you about the people here. The crime rate has always been the same here by the people who have lived here.
Before you blame anyone else for the problems here in the county you need to clean out your own closet.
Wait a minute didn't you say the reason you stay here is because your kids liked it here and that was more important and you had a good job? Ok if Madison County is full of child molesters then you put your kids in danger and if it is so bad here just what did your kids like about it?
I also never said that the people in MC were all bad.
You apparently are one of the ones that like to continue to keep anger stirred up and stretch conversations to fuel your fire.
I never put my kids in danger by moving here, again you are twisting my words.
As for what they liked here, that is a question you might ask of your own kids, what they liked about growing up here.
