CELINA - Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey plans to turn over his office's nonemergency boating calls next year to the local U.S. Freshwater Boaters Alliance, a non-profit boating organization that promotes safety on Grand Lake.
Grey recently told county commissioners that his office's boat is a 30-year-old Boston Whaler with many mechanical issues. It may be time to get rid of the craft, possibly by selling it on GovDeals, an online auction site, he added. [More]
