Good morning, Sheridan.

Roy Holmes, a 35-year-old Illinois man, was sentenced in Sheridan for his role in a tap to pay credit card theft scheme—he received a 2 to 3 year prison term concurrent with an 18 to 24 month sentence from Johnson County and was ordered to pay $385 in restitution and $250 in court fees after fraudulent gas station purchases on November 19th.

Wyoming's unemployment rate held at 3.3%, while local figures shifted as Sheridan County increased from 2.9% in April to 3.2% in May and Johnson County rose from 2.2% to 2.6%.

Rates last May were 2.8% for Sheridan and 2.7% for Johnson—non-farm employment grew by 2,300 jobs since then, and officials noted the rise is unusual for this time of year.

The Sheridan County Conservation District held the Facing the Fire Workshop and Field Day on June 28th, drawing about 80 local residents to panel discussions on wildfire impacts and field visits in the Badger Creek area.

The event provided insights on landowner preparedness, native grass seedings, prescribed fire programs, and prairie dog reclamation, and local agencies helped support the effort.
