Chase County Sheriff Rich Dorneker said his office will start issuing citations to individuals ignoring statewide stay-at-home orders within the county in a Facebook post Saturday evening.
“For all of you that not want to abide by the stay at home order, my office will now start issuing citations to all that [do] not want to follow the orders set forth by the Governor,” the post read. “So if you want to drive to Chase County and illegally go to the lake or other places that have been limited you will get a citation written to you and all that are with you.
“Let’s abide by the order so that we can be done with this pandemic and have some sort of summer. By not following the order all you are doing is prolonging the stay at home order, what does it take for people to get it. Thanks and have a great day!”
