RIDGWAY, Ill. - The Gallatin County village of Ridgway lit up this afternoon around 4 p.m. when law enforcement officials arrived at a residence to execute a search warrant.
As of about 6:30 p.m., a large number of police officers were still on-scene. Officials aren't saying much, as formal charges have not been filed yet.
However, sources in the village state that the residence is owned by TW Wilson, but it apparently wasn't him that authorities were looking to find.
We have the names and photos of two gentlemen our sources in the area are telling us were the subjects of the warrant, and we're awaiting confirmation of charges, which should come Monday. We're endeavoring to get this in the upcoming print version, January 2018, because it's a continuation of the ongoing roundup of crims in Gallatin County who have for too long been getting away with their actions.
