Here is Sauto's sheriff, my neighboring county. The guy is a clown.

Benton County Central Dispatch has been inundated with phone calls regarding fake news and speculation concerning the quarantine of Warsaw and Benton County as a whole. I, as your Sheriff am telling you that unless President Trump enacts Martial Law, your Constitutional Rights are intact. You are free to move about, congregate as you see fit (To clarify... the COVID 19 Virus is real. It's scary because of the health risk and the unknown. If you gather, use caution and common sense.) and live free as the power of our great Constitution permits. As your Sheriff, I will not support any infringements upon your Constitutional Rights! The Government can ask you to conform, plead with you, educate you and try to scare you into conforming with the experts. At the end of the day we are Americans. We are Free to choose and as your Sheriff, I will not stand for anything less! With that being said, common sense needs to be applied to help stem the spread of the COVID 19 virus. Washing of your hands, sanitize after contact, personal hygiene and other common courtesies as well as staying home and away from folks if your sick.! Be safe, do the right thing but never allow your Constitutional Rights to be diminished. If you have questions or concerns involving the virus, call your local health department. I will keep you updated on any local issues if they arise. I will be one of the first officials notified if anything changes. Sheriff Knox
