Russell County Sheriff's Report
An investigation by Sgt. Mark Cromwell has resulted in burglary
and other charges against a Russell Springs man.
While on patrol on KY 92 South between midnight and 1:00 a.m.
on Thursday, April 27th, Sgt. Cromwell heard a loud “banging noise”
coming from inside Anchorage Marine. Further investigation revealed
a garage door open on the north side of the building and a window
busted out on the south side.
Sgt. Cromwell was soon assisted by Deputy Dustin Bunch and
Jamestown Police Officer Jeremy England. A thorough search of the
building and nearby premises did not turn up any individuals.
The owners of Anchorage Marine were contacted and responded to
the scene. The business’ video surveillance system was instrumental
in identifying the perpetrator.
On May 1st, Travis Brewster, 29, was taken into custody on warrants
obtained by Sgt. Cromwell charging Brewster with Burglary and
Criminal Mischief.
Brewster was processed and lodged in the Russell County Detention
Center.

Five persons escaped a two-vehicle collision with no serious
injuries late Saturday morning.
Deputy Nathan Antle’s investigation determined a 2004 Ford car
being driven by Lester Tallon, 50, of Columbia was southbound on

into Damron Creek Road, pulling into the path of Tallon’s car.
Both drivers, as well as two passengers in the Tallon car and one
