The dog days of summer can wear thin on tempers, but Macon County law enforcement is always prepared.  Sheriff Tom Schneider says after a record year of homicides in Decatur, this year’s violence has been tempered somewhat…



Schneider says while Macon County has only recorded 2 murders through the first 6 months, violence tends to accelerate in July and August.  He points out the hot temps also lead to increased DUIs and alcohol-related incidents.
