(parade photos courtesy of DurandNow.com, Josh Strickland) Lennon Police Update Chief Rich is finding retiring from the Durand Lennon Chief Folaron Police Department and becoming Chief Zoll s replacement in Lennon is a little more fast-paced then he first envisioned. During the first few months he and his Officers, Kirt Stechshulte and new Officer Keith THE Hansen have been active on several cases and bringing them to a close. The biggest case has been the stolen Cub Cadet tractor from the Lennon Lions Club. That case resulted in the confiscation of stolen properties presently identified by and solving cases for more than eight local law enforcement agencies. There is also a suspect being questioned concerning a fire in the shed behind the Doyle Knight property. Chief Rich has an open-door policy and COUNTY LINE encourages residents to drop by. He is already getting a good rapore with the local neighborhood children. 3
