Stevens County Gas and Historical Museum Curator Stanley McGill was surprised last Thursday when he opened up the Museum. He found someone had broken open the back door to the building currently being fixed up by Museum staff to serve as a replica of the Dew Drop In Tavern.

The Sheriff’s Department quickly responded to Stanley’s 911 call. Apparently, the intruder cut himself when he was breaking the door. Undersheriff T.J. Steers and Detective Duane Topliss, along with K9 Officer Chris Beltz collected evidence.

Within two hours, the men brought in a suspect for the break-in. Congratulations to the Stevens County Sheriff’s Department for a job well done.
