Carroll County Sheriff's Office advises residents to document models, serial numbers of property
CARROLL COUNTY, Ark. — The Carroll County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) in Arkansas says that too often, when deputies are called to take a theft or burglary report, they discover that the victim has not documented their property with model and serial numbers. This crucial information can make all the difference in recovering stolen items, the CCSO says. 'When we are provided with the brand name, model, and serial number of a stolen item, we can enter that information into the Arkansas Crime Information Center's database,' the CCSO says in a social media post. If the item is later sold to a pawn shop, the CCSO is alerted through a system called LEADS Online, which provides law enforcement with details of the transaction, including the name of the person who pawned the item and a copy of their driver's license. Additionally, if a law enforcement officer checks an item's serial number on scene, and it has been reported as stolen, they will be notified immediately and can begin an investigation on the spot, the CCSO says. 'We urge you to take some time — just a day — to document your valuables,' the CCSO says. 'Use a notebook or digital file to record the brand, model, serial number, and estimated value of items such as firearms, tools, electronics, motorcycles, ATVs, trailers, and more. For items without identification numbers, like jewelry, take clear photographs. Store this documentation in a secure place.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tourists make 'historically significant' discovery while exploring South Carolina beach
Tourists exploring a South Carolina island recently stumbled across "historically significant" remains, according to local officials. The Colleton County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) announced the discovery in a May 24 press release. The remains were found the day before near the Jeremy Cay gated community, about half a mile from shore. Edisto Island, south of Charleston, is one of several Sea Islands in the Palmetto State. It's been inhabited by Europeans since the 17th century. Tourists were wandering through the area on May 23 when they uncovered "what they initially believed to be fossils," according to officials. "Upon closer examination, they realized the remains appeared to be human and promptly contacted the Colleton County Sheriff's Office and the Edisto Beach Police Department," authorities said. When officers arrived, they secured the area and handled the incident like a crime scene – but the circumstances of the remains weren't exactly suspicious. Rather, authorities said that the beachgoers found a "historically significant" site that likely served as a burial ground. "The location of the discovery [was] once home to the 19th-century settlement known as Edingsville Beach," police said. "Early indications suggest the remains may originate from a long-forgotten burial site." The Colleton County Coroner's Office arrived to recover the remains, which were then taken to the Medical University of South Carolina, where they are still being identified and studied. "At this time, the identity of the individual and the circumstances surrounding their death remain unknown," the CCSO noted. "This is an active investigation, and the CCSO is working closely with the Coroner's Office and other partner agencies to determine more about the remains and their origin." Edisto Island's tourism site says that Edingsville Beach was a popular seaside destination for wealthy Charleston residents before the Civil War began. After many of the residences were abandoned by planters who went bankrupt during the war, African American sharecroppers and farmers came into ownership of the buildings. The recently discovered remains are some of the last traces of the once-thriving community. By the late 19th century, many of the buildings were swept into the ocean due to hurricanes – and the recently discovered remains are some of the last traces of the once-thriving community. Fox News Digital reached out to CCSO for additional information, but no new details were available. As one of the original Thirteen Colonies, South Carolina is home to many historic sites. Earlier this year, a group of veterans gathered in Kershaw County to excavate a Revolutionary War battlefield. Two years earlier, the remains of multiple Revolutionary War soldiers were found at the same Kershaw County site.

Valley Springs man arrested after yard work dispute leads to gunfire
( — The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office responded to a shooting that led to an arrest on Tuesday morning. According to CCSO, deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the 200 block of Hoffman Drive in Valley Springs around 8:30 a.m. When crews arrived a the scene, they were advised that the homeowner, Frank Anthony Moore, 75, of Valley Springs, was not pleased with the yard maintenance service provided by a worker. CCSO stated that this led to a verbal dispute. The altercation escalated when the victim, who is the worker, requested payment for his service. During the confirmation, Moore, who is the suspect, reportedly got his firearm from inside the house and returned outside, discharging more than one round in the direction of the victim. The victim told the deputies that one round came within almost one foot of striking him, CCSO said. The victim was able to safely leave the area and call 911, and wait for law enforcement to arrive. Detectives were called to the scene to help with the investigation and collect evidence, according to CCSO. After the investigation, deputies found out that Moore was prohibited from owning or possessing firearms. Based on the evidence that was collected, CCSO said that it was enough for a search warrant to be secured for the residence from the Calaveras County Superior Court Judge. During the search, deputies found two 9mm handguns, one .380 caliber pistol, ammunition matching both firearms, and shotgun ammunition. All of the firearms and ammunition were collected and booked into evidence. Moore has been arrested without incident, booked into the Calavera County Jail, and has been charged with four felony charges and three misdemeanors. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
