Multiple crews responded to a garage fire in Scott City on Thursday afternoon, July 11th at 4:12 p.m. Scott City Fire Department responded to a residential fire in the 300 block of Keeley Avenue in Scott City. Mutual aid came from several local districts. Heavy fire was coming from the attached garage with smoke from all sides. Due to the amount of fire in the garage and the garage being extremely hard to access, the incident was upgraded to a second alarm. There was a large amount of personal belongings in the garage and the roof collapsed, so hotspots were trapped under a large amount of debris. JAC3 Contracting offered their services with a skidsteer to assist with moving the debris out of the garage to ensure all hotspots were fully extinguished. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The home is considered a total loss, displacing two adults and three children.

30-year-old Corvin Turner who was mistakenly released more than a week ago from Scott County jail is now back in custody. Sheriff Wes Drury say Turner was found around 5 p.m. at a family member’s home in Sikeston and taken into custody without incident. Turner walked out of the jail on Wednesday evening, July 3. Drury said Turner’s older brother should have been released that night, and he believed the younger Turner played some role in what he called the deception that led to his release. Turner faces state assault and weapons charges, along with a federal prison sentence once that state case is finished. Drury said they are now investigating. Scott County Prosecuting Attorney Donald Cobb called Turner’s release “embarrassing” and “unacceptable.” He said Turner “has some significant charges relating to serious conduct and it’s fair to say we’re all concerned.”

Southern 7 Health Department has confirmed three positive tests for West Nile Virus in mosquitoes for the southern seven county region of Illinois. These are the first cases of WNV in mosquitoes documented far this year in the region. Traps were set in May and are tested weekly.

Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. However, four out of five people infected with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis, encephalitis, or even death.

Governor Mike Parson has signed a bill into law that will bar local governments from imposing a tax to stream popular providers like Netflix and Peacock. Chesterfield Republican Representative Ben Keathley says his bill prevents cities and counties from applying a cable franchise fee to your streaming bill. Keathley says that local governments have noticed more people are streaming rather than using traditional cable… He argues that Netflix, for example, delivers its service via an already existing internet line rather than installing a local cable box that also streams. The bill is set to become law at the end of August.
