Deputy tells Hillman council to report erratic driver, flags illegal underglow lights and migrant arrivals
Summary
Deputy Roe told the council residents should report descriptions of an erratic driver on State Street and vehicles using illegal underglow lights (he cited a white GMC truck). He also reported undocumented people being brought into the county and advised that law enforcement can act only if criminal activity occurs.
Deputy Roe addressed the Village Council on Sept. 3 to ask for help locating an erratic driver observed on State Street and Pleasant Valley. He asked residents to record vehicle descriptions and report them to deputies, saying that without a description officers cannot locate the vehicle.
Roe also warned that some vehicles are operating with illegal underglow lighting; he cited a white GMC truck as an example and asked that residents report sightings. On the subject of migrants, Roe reported that people described as "not legal immigrants but do have papers to work" are being brought into the county, specifically noting Lewiston as an example location. He said enforcement of immigration status is limited unless someone commits a crime and urged residents, "if you see something, say something."
The council did not take any formal action; the exchange was presented as an informational update and a request that residents provide descriptive information to help deputies investigate traffic complaints and vehicle violations.
Next steps: Residents were asked to report detailed vehicle descriptions to local law enforcement when incidents are observed.
