Fugitive caught after nearly 24 years
A manhunt for a Moultrie County man that lasted nearly 24 years
has come to an end with his arrest.
The U.S. Marshals Service announced that 72-year-old Herman
Carroll was located in Branson, Missouri, after the Great Lakes
Regional Fugitive Task Force received a lead of his whereabouts.
Carroll was wanted on sexual assault charges that accuse him of
sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in 2000. He posted bail,
but never appeared in court to face the charges.
'Map your burn' encouraged
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Illinois
Prescribed Fire Council are joining forces to encourage all
prescribed fire practitioners to “map your burn” and contribute
to the annual Illinois Prescribed Fires Accomplished Map.
Officials said prescribed fire, also known as Rx fire or
controlled burning, stands as the most effective management
practice for maintaining and restoring vital fire-dependent
ecosystems. They said controlled burn plays an important role in
reducing fuel loads and mitigating the risk of brushfires and
wildfires.
