    July Informational Meeting followup

    July 26, 2024 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / / / / / /

    One of our best attended Informational Meetings so far, with a full house and some of us standing in the hallway.  Sergeant Miller spoke on the presence, dangers and Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office reduction efforts of the Fentanyl epidemic sweeping our County, State and Nation, and answered several questions at the end.  The biggest take away is being aware of the symptoms:

    • slow, shallow breathing or respiratory distress
    • slurred speech
    • loss of consciousness

    These can quickly become serious health problems, resulting in permanent injury or death. The next biggest is knowing what forms Fentanyl is typically trafficked:

    • pills
    • powder
    • liquid

    Don’t take chances and certainly DO NOT TOUCH anything suspicious, such as small plastic baggies with unknown pills, powder or other substances.  It could contain products that, in the smallest quantities could cause you or others irreparable harm or death. If you see or find anything suspicious, or encounter someone who might need medical assistance Call 911 immediately.   If you have any questions or would like further details, please call Bastrop County Sheriffs Office .

    July 16th 2024 Prayer Rally

    July 19, 2024 by Mark L. Torrey in / /

    Bastrop County area and community members gathered together Tuesday evening, July 16th, at the Bastrop County Courthouse Gazebo for a prayer rally to honor the victims of Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, PA. Organizers said, “A failed assassination attempt on the President’s life claimed the life of an innocent husband and father and critically injured two others, having the potential to drastically alter our history more than it already has. Many local area residents gathered to pray for healing and strength for our nation, for the families and innocent victims of the shooting, and for President Trump to heal physically, mentally and for continued spiritual strength throughout this trying period. The non-partisan, non- denominational event was open to all in Bastrop County.

    Additional prayer rallies are being planned throughout the year, to encourage community, state and national healing and involvement to heal the Nation. Organized by pastors and members of local churches and organizations, the “An Appeal to Heaven” movement, and the Bastrop County Republican Party.

    Former President Trump Injured

    July 13, 2024 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / /

    There is no doubt everyone has heard of the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania this afternoon. The former President was injured, dropped out of the line of fire, but then stood defiantly with blood streaming across his face as he was escorted safely from the stage.  Sadly this action did take the life of one woman and others present were injured.  We send our heart felt prayers to the Former President and to the families of those lost and injured. May God Bless Donald Trump and the American People.
