Captain Randy Fogler said at a press conference that an FBI tip led to the deputies securing a warrant Thursday April 24, 2025.

    Ever since I started this job in 2001, I’ve been fascinated by flashlights. Before that it had been years since I had touched one and the only flashlight I owned was a AA Maglite with an incandescent bulb that I bought before a 1991 hike. So back in 2001 I was amazed at how bright LED-powered flashlights had become. Nearly two-dozen years later, I’m testing the Streamlight ProTac HL 6. And I’m gobsmacked by its power. I used to think 100 lumens was bright, which is now hilarious.
