Vernon County Sheriffs Office: Man arrested after forcing his way into a residence

 Gail G. Stafford

Two warrants containing multiple charges were issued Friday afternoon for a Vernon County resident after deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call Thursday afternoon just south of Nevada. 

Gail G Stafford, 36 of Nevada has been charged with felony charges of 1st degree burglary, and, resisting arrest, as well as two misdemeanor charges of domestic assault, and property damage. According to reports, Stafford allegedly forced his way into a residence during a dispute and after being made to leave the residence by occupants inside, Stafford tried again to break in through a window. 

During the incident dispatch lost communication with the deputy that had responded and two additional deputies were dispatched to the scene for back-up. Stafford tried to resist arrest when the deputy told him he was going to jail. Stafford is being held in the Vernon County Jail on bonds totaling $16,000 cash or surety.

Don't forget- Spring forward!

It's that time again- set your clocks forward one hour before going to bed tonight. 

What is it?

This is one of the items on display at the annual Bates County Museum Show and Tell program this morning.

Made of leather and steel, many of those present took some interesting guesses of it's identity- some followed with giggles...

The actual use of this device might surprise you.

Take a guess on our Facebook page over the weekend...if no one gets it right, we'll reveal what the item was actually used for Sunday evening.

Update- One Facebook guesser, Clint Mellenbruch guess it to be mule blinders- which is nearly spot on. This
particular set was slightly larger and used for bulls. Designed so the bull will only see the ground, thus not easily getting 'spooked' when being moved in unfamiliar territory.
