Marshall reports 95 citations and $28,658 in fines; resident organizing animal shelter fundraiser

Town Marshall Mitch Harrell reported the Marshall’s Office issued 95 tickets during the month, 53 of which were paid, and 23 bench warrants were issued; total fines collected were $28,658. Harrell said the office is receiving increasing complaints about stray animals and that the town has no municipal shelter funding.

Resident Mary Reece said she is organizing an Oct. 4 fundraising event to support a local shelter; she has a grant to provide neutering and immunizations but needs additional funds and community support. Marshall Harrell urged residents to use 683‑5459 for non‑emergency assistance and 9‑1‑1 for true emergencies.
