Union County Man Is Sentenced In Burglary Case
Charles F. Yates of Cobden, 44, received eight years in state prison on one burglary count for taking metal items from a Water Valley Road machine shed in March. The Southern Bridge reopened after a barge strike, with inspection finding the Kentucky 56 Illinois 13 span safe for traffic and about 3,800 vehicles crossing daily. A former Southern Illinois barge worker, Brett Nash, was sentenced to 20 years for a failed plot to abduct and electrocute a Granite City man, with a $500 fine and a mental health evaluation ordered. The scheme included forcing the victim into a hot tub and attempting to electrocute him with a radio. Authorities did not identify the intended victim.
