The statement says the Sheriff and staff are closely monitoring the situation and all appropriate precautions are being observed.
“We extend our most sincere prayers to our friend with hopes for the best outcome and speedy recovery,” the release reads.
It’s not known what exactly is meant by “vendor” as the release did not state. It is also not known if the person is actually from Lawrence County.
