The most explosive season of the year in Lyon County officially fizzles out Tuesday night. Legal fireworks discharges in Emporia and rural Lyon County ends at 10 p.m. As usual, that’s far too late for some people. “We have had 64 complaints,” Emporia Police Capt. Lisa Hayes said at mid-afternoon Tuesday. That was the total throughout Lyon County since July 1. And it’s up from 50 complaints at the same point in 2021. Hayes said police filed one criminal complaint Sunday night, after a person claimed to be struck by fireworks. But officers normally don’t go around town to lock up people for causing explosive noises.
