It's all good: Clarifications made regarding Rich Hill records broken
First, 55 pies was NOT a record. I have been informed that we once had 60 pies to sell. (It just FELT like a record number after getting through that many!)
And secondly, $5,100 for a pie was NOT a record for a single pie. We had one bring $6,500 previously. (When you have folks that support “a cause” by paying $5,000 or $6,000 for a pie, does it really matter?)
My apologies for my errors.
I will NEVER intentionally misrepresent the facts, but I might get carried away in appreciating all those who make this event as amazing as it is!

Nevada police arrest suspect following meth delivery
On July 8, Nevada Police were dispatched to a local facility after staff reported that a visitor had dropped suspected illegal narcotics inside the building. Officers responded to the scene, secured the item, and determined it was believed to be methamphetamine.
During the investigation, officers reviewed surveillance video and were able to identify the individual involved. Officers also discovered the subject had been issued an active felony probation warrant just hours earlier.
Officers continued their investigation and located the subject at a nearby park, where they were taken into custody without incident. During the arrest, officers also located additional drug paraphernalia.
The subject was transported to the Vernon County Jail on the outstanding felony probation warrant. Additional drug-related charges will be submitted to the Vernon County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for review.
Great work by Officer Palmer for conducting the thorough follow-up investigation, identifying the suspect, locating them, and safely taking them into custody. This case is another example of how proactive police work and diligent investigative efforts help remove individuals with outstanding felony warrants from our community while holding those involved in illegal drug activity accountable.
