Back Pay Sparks Constable Salary Dispute and Hipps Escape
County commissioners seek guidance on constable salaries as Chief Deputy Silvers takes the query. Tim Lowney earned 692.85 over two years, though paid 1,000 by law, prompting dispute. John Hipps, arrested for scrap iron theft, asked to change his shirt before transport and vanished from a back room. Constable Volker pursues him. Tierman Finkler linked to a diamond theft case but facing new charges after previous arrest. Sizable court actions include a larceny substitution and a finished suit against Silver Bow Meat Company with decision reserved.
