Wednesday night, it was reported to MPD that someone stole a vehicle from the Monticello Senior Center.

The truck, a Ford Maverick, is identical to the one in the photograph, except it will be labeled “SC6“ on the sides of the truck near the door.

If scene, call MPD at 870-367-3411.

It is believed that after the deer in the above story left the District Court building, it then ran north on Main Street 2 1/2 blocks, and entered the open door of Bella Luna restaurant, as they were moving furniture and fixtures out of the building.

It appears that as the deer entered the restaurant, it saw several people,  causing it to enter the enclosed front dining room area, where it laid down.

MPD was notified, quickly arrived, and notified AG&F, who dispatched a local person familiar with dealing with deer, to remove the deer from the area.

From the Monticello Police Department:

Attention: There will be construction taking place on May 28th, 2024 at 7:00pm thru 10:00am on the bypass between Highway 278 and Scogin Drive.  The date and times are subject to change.

Thursday, at approximately 11 AM, on W. Gaines St., in front of Monticello Exxon, it appears the driver of this apparently loaded grain truck broke down and was abandoned by the driver, blocking traffic.

DCSO and MPD attempted to locate the driver, and by noon, Big Wrecker arrived to towed the vehicle and clear the highway.

Monticello dispatch attempted to locate a contact number to notify the owner, but this did not end successfully, leading to tow truck being called.  The driver was located, later in the day.
