Trace Adkins

After a scare last week, Trace Adkins picked up his second win as project manager on Sunday's episode of the all star season of Celebrity Apprentice. And Trace Adkins did it by starring in a silent movie in the role of a caveman, which both Donald Trump Jr. and Trace himself agreed wasn't much of a stretch.
The challenge: To create a minute-long silent movie promoting a suntan skin-care line. Trace was project manager, and he basically came up with the script himself: A caveman suddenly thrust into 2013 discovers life is more colorful with this line of skin-care products.
"You put a caveman in a modern situation, you've got comedy," Trace explained. "Cavemen are always funny."
The judges agreed, and Trace - who looks like a serious contender to win the whole thing - picked up another $40,000 for his charity, the American Red Cross.

Madison Police arrested two people after an investigation into counterfeit bills.

Police were called to two stores in the 100 block of Clifty Drive after Rachel A. Barger, 30, allegedly used counterfeit bills to make purchases. After receiving a search warrant, officers searched her residence and found no items related to counterfeiting, but they did find marijuana and other drug paraphernalia. At her residence, officers found Jonathan D. Clark Sr., 39, of Madison, in possession of narcotics. When asked about the counterfeit bills, Barger and Clark denied knowing the money was fake. Barger was arrested on charges of fraud, dealing marijuana, maintaining a common nuisance and possession of paraphernalia. Clark was arrested on charges of maintaining a common nuisance, dealing marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
Senior Patrolman Joe Baker led the investigation and was assisted by Sgt. Ben McKay and Lt. Det. Tyson Eblen.

Ellis pleaded guilty to the charges earlier this month.
Deputies say Ellis was driving southbound on U.S. 25 in a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu when he lost control of the vehicle, ran off the road and struck a utility pole.

His trial is set to begin May 1st at the Boone County Justice Center.

Boston Marathon bombings

The bombs that blew up seconds apart at the finish line of one of the world's most storied races left the streets spattered with blood and glass, three dead, more than 140 wounded and maimed and gaping questions of who chose to attack at the Boston Marathon and why.
Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the devastating attack on one of the city's most famous civic holidays, Patriots Day. But the blasts raised alarms of another terror attack in the U.S. after the explosions at a public event among crowds of thousands of spectators. President Barack Obama was careful not to use the words "terror" or "terrorism" as he spoke at the White House Monday after the deadly bombings, but an administration official said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.

*****Breaking News**** East Enterprise Thefts

Switzerland County Sheriff's Office Update: Sheriff Roy A. Leap reports, the Switzerland County Sheriff’s Office in joint cooperation with the Pennsylvania State Police have identified two men in connection with the rash of thefts in the East Enterprise area last week. Identified are Jamie Blough Jr., age 19, of Dunlo, PA and Joshua Kerns, age 21, of St Michael, PA.

A truck belonging to local resident Nate Bovard was recovered in a reservoir close to Mr. Blough’s family residence. Investigators from Switzerland County Sheriff’s Office sent photos obtained from video surveillance in Switzerland County to the Pennsylvania State Police who was able to identify Jamie Blough as a local resident of Pennsylvania. Subsequent investigation led to identify the second suspect as Joshua Kerns.

Jamie Blough was arrested in Pennsylvania on a parole violation warrant out of that state for failure to report to his parole officer after being convicted in Pennsylvania on charges of theft. The investigation is ongoing in Switzerland County. Charges may also be filed in Ohio and Dearborn Counties where other thefts occurred.

The Switzerland County Sheriff’s Office asks that anyone who has additional information please contact the Switzerland County Sheriff’s Office at (812) 427-3636.

The Switzerland County Sheriff’s Office advises that all suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
