Jones County Adds Deputy to Sheriff Staff
The Jones county board of supervisors approved adding a second full time deputy, Arnold Latuska of Monticello, to work with Sheriff Ralph Albaugh and Deputy Larry Himes starting March 15. Latuska, a Monticello resident since 1962, will move to Anamosa in April. The board cited improved county coverage and lighter workloads as reasons for the three person sheriff’s team. Additionally two run away youths were located by area law enforcement: Richard Werkmeister, 16, of Waterloo, hitchhiking from Rock Island to Waterloo, and Thomas Berrier, 16, of Shenandoah, found in Monticello after driving a family car. Berrier was held at the Jones county courthouse until parents arrived.
