The State Patrol on most nights of the week ends their shift at midnight...so that is a true statement. Only on 1 or 2 nights a week does the Patrol stay on until 2 or 3.
2 or 3 deputies would help, how could they not when you have more people in more places. Duh.
Doubtful that it could have been prvented by more than one road deputy. Theives come up with ways to steal if they want to steal. Two or even three deputies on the county roads would not make much of an impact given the wide expanse of our county. Besides that the State Patrol also helps with overnight patrols so that is not entirely a true statement.
Maybe thefts like this could be prevented if there was more than one Saline County road deputy on duty overnight to patrol the whole county.
