On Saturday, April 18, the Sanborn County Sheriff’s Office was called to a rollover accident east of Letcher. Both the driver and the passenger were taken to Avera Queen of Peace Hospital in Mitchell, treated and released. The driver was cited for passing in an intersection. Names of those involved and any other information could not be provided at this time.

Eugene “Beaner” Prins of Woonsocket was last seen Thursday, March 26, at approximately 7:30 p.m. at a rural residence south of Forestburg. According to the Sanborn County Sheriff’s Office, the sheriff’s office was notified of the disappearance by a social media post at around noon on Friday, March 27.
