  • Donor gives blank check to police

    “I thought it was Christmas in July,” said Sheriff Steve Coulter as he looked back on the day last week when an anonymous Spencer County man walked in the Sheriff’s Office and plopped down a blank check.

    Two months prior, the mysterious giver and his wife had come to Coulter out of the blue – generously offering to help the community out financially in whatever area the sheriff decided money was most needed.  

    “I didn’t know how to take it,” said Sheriff Coulter. “I was excited and glad he was doing this.”
