We have had several reports of tires slashed if you have any information, please contact the Clay Center Police Department 785-632-2121 or Clay County Sheriff Department 785-632-5601.

Overnight last night, between May 29th and May 30th, the tires of one patrol car, one deputies personal vehicles, and some other first responder personal vehicles were slashed in Clay Center between Linclon Ave on the south, Clarke St. on the north, 6th St on the west and 15th St on the east.

Right now it appears that 1st responders were specifically targets by this. I like to believe the Clay Center and Clay County community WILL NOT tolerate the specific targeting of our first responders and will turn in who did this. Please contact us with any information at (785)632'-5601 and ask to speak with an officer, send this page a private message, or email Undersheriff Werbin at [email protected].

*********REMINDER*********

Grass and w**d growing season is in full force and many yards are looking terrible. I just wanted to remind everyone that grass and w**ds over 12" tall are a violation of the City's Nuisance Code. Other violations include grass clippings in the street, inoperable vehicles, trash, junk, and other debris in the yard. The Officers are going to be out enforcing this ordinance. Please do yourselves and your neighbors a favor and keep those yards clean so we don't have to pay you a visit! ....Chief Robinson
