Area residents hoping to spread a little Christmas cheer to U.S. military service personnel serving overseas have a little more than two weeks left to donate to Christmas For Our Troops Inc.
Debbie Burrow, local director for the drive, said local response has been good to date and that volunteers will be soliciting gifts and monetary donations through Dec. 1.
The inspiration for the drive is simple, she said — the desire to let troops serving in combat zones that the folks back home haven't forgotten them.
The Howard County Sheriff's Office reported the following activity (76 prisoners were reported in the county jail):
• SHIMEON RASHAD MAGERS, 27, was jailed on charges of no insurance, no seat belt, failure to maintain financial responsibility, no valid inspection sticker and two counts of failure to appear.
• STEPHEN KYLE GAY, 26, was jailed on a charge of driving while license invalid/previous conviction.
• THADDEUS RASHAD MCCALISTER, 22, was jailed on a charge of minor in possession of alcoholic beverage.
