This morning, a male went into Casey’s in Lamar and said he had a bomb in his car. Officers responded and found multiple wires in the car. At this time, they are waiting for the bomb squad to arrive. In the meantime, please try to avoid this area as much as possible. We will update as soon as we hear from the bomb squad.

We have noticed several items in the allies for City-wide clean-up. We will not pick up items in the ally. Please move them to the street as soon as possible. The allies are filling up and the sanitation trucks have a difficult time picking up the normal trash. We will start the citywide cleanup on April 26th. Please have your items to the street by Tuesday, April 27th. Thank you for your help in cleaning up our city.
