The Baxter County Quorum Court has raised the county’s minimum expense threshold to inventory items.
Previously, any item purchased by the county costing $1,000 or more required that item be catalogued and maintained in inventory. Now, only items costing $5,000 or more must be tracked through the county’s inventory process.
State law requires that counties set a minimum price point to track purchased items and equipment, but does not set a specific dollar amount, County Judge Mickey Pendergrass said. The $1,000-threshold is believed to have been established by the Quorum Court back in 2002.
Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery told Quorum Court members that two decades’ worth of inflation meant many routine items like computers and lightbars for patrol vehicles now exceed the $1,000 cost point and must be tracked through the inventory.
A Louisiana woman was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly crashing her vehicle into a house.
Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery said that deputies received a 911 call shortly after 10 of a vehicle that had intentionally crashed into a house on Larkspur Lane, north of Mountain Home.
When deputies arrived, they determined that the driver of the vehicle, 49-year-old Shannon Marie Langevin of Prairieville, Louisiana, was the mother and grandmother of several of the people inside the residence.
Deputies determined that the residence was a vacation rental property and that the residents, who were from Louisiana and Georgia, were staying there along with Langevin.

Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery is notifying the public a Level 2 sex offender, classified as moderate risk to reoffend with community notification justified, has registered with his offie.
Sheriff Montgomery says 50-year-old Cecil Rodgers has moved to 10828 U.S. Highway 62 East, #3 in Henderson.
Rodgers was convicted of sexual assault in the Second Degree in May 2016. The offense involved Rodgers engaging in sexual contact with a female relative beginning when she was 7 to 8 years of age.
Rodgers is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is the sheriff’s belief an informed public is a safer public. This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders. Citizen abuse will not be tolerated. Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notification.
