Washington Sheriff receives $30k grant



The Washington County Sheriff's Department is getting $30,000 in grant money for equipment purchases. Sheriff Jerry Dunbar says they usually apply for the grant, but don't receive the full amount. Dunbar says they'll use the money for radar units, portable breath testers for alcohol as well as overtime costs and mileage on their vehicles. The money is coming from the Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau, or GTSB.
