To all area residents: In November, a firearm was located on Balltown Road and turned in to the Sheriff’s Office. Efforts to find the owner have been unsuccessful. If you lost a firearm in that area a couple months ago and can provide identifying make, model, and serial number of the missing weapon (which must match the same information on the found weapon), please feel free to reach out to Investigator Jill Bellmann at 563-582-1648. Thanks, and stay safe!
