Walker County Judge Robert D. Pierce has established a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the entire county. Judge Pierce signed the document Monday and it became effective immediately. Exceptions to the rule include those traveling through the county, those traveling to or from their place of employment, and those involved in emergency management conducting related business.
Violators face potential fines of $1,000 and up to 180 days in jail.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
Scott Engle and Jamie Nash are Montgomery County residents and veteran law enforcement / breaking news reporters, who met covering a law enforcement story and have covered multiple counties, with Scott as a television videographer for multiple local stations and national networks, and Jamie as newspaper / magazine / online reporter.
