Crime rises during the holidays

It has been a wild year, to say the least. It’s also been a crime-ridden year. With lockdowns put in place, domestic dispute calls have also risen. And at the end of May, there were many protests that quickly turned violent and deadly. However, the holiday season, beginning after Thanksgiving has historically been a time when crime becomes more prevalent according to local and state law enforcement. Simply put by Terry Co. Sheriff Tim Click, “Thefts do rise as the end of the year comes around, plus after harvest is over and not as many people are moving around in the county crime tends to spike.”
