Vermillion County approves probation office purchase of two retired pistols
Summary
The board approved Chief Probation Officer David Robinson's request to purchase two county pistols at the quoted price of $250 each, matching prior sheriff's department practice.
The Vermillion County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a request from Chief Probation Officer David Robinson for the probation office to purchase two county pistols slated for disposal.
"Just like the sheriff's department has done in the past, we would like to personally purchase, buy back the 2 pistols that we are essentially getting rid of," Robinson told the commissioners. The quote included in the packet came from O'Harein Law Enforcement Supply of Danville, Illinois; Robinson said the county would match the quoted price of $250 per firearm.
Commissioner Misty Hess moved to approve Robinson's request; the motion was seconded and carried with all commissioners voting "aye." No public comment or formal dissent was recorded during the discussion.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the sale during the meeting; county staff did not state beyond the vote how or when the purchases would be completed.
