[This is the second of a series of articles on the Grant County Commission meeting on March 12, 2024.]
By Mary Alice Murphy
The second presentation at the March 12, 2024 Grant County Commissioner work session came from Valerie Zech, the Grant County Community Health Council coordinator.
"I'm here to give you the quarterly update for the Health Council," Zech told the commissioners. " I just want to say what a great opportunity this is to work with the community. I love my job."
She noted the commissioners had the Grant County Community Health Needs and Assets Assessment that was done from July to December 2023, as well as the current Grant County Community Health Council (GCCHC) capacity building scope of work.

Friday, Mar. 15, 2024, at approximately 10:22 p.m., Bayard Police Department officers were dispatched to 225 Erie Street in Bayard in reference to a 55-year-old male caller advising his roommate was threatening to cut his head off with a knife. Arriving at the residence, officers knocked on the door and made contact with a male, later identified as Christopher Sturdevant, 56, who aggressively swung the door open and began cursing at the officers.
According to a BPD incident report, the suspect refused to identify himself saying the victim had told him "to get the f*** out." The suspect continued to refuse to identify himself, and after officers gained entry into the residence, he ran up the stairs, despite being given multiple commands to stop and walk toward the officers. Unable to see if the suspect was clear of any weapons, a taser was deployed, the prongs striking the suspect's left arm and thigh. At that point, the suspect was handcuffed and identified. Sturdevant was placed under arrest, charged with resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer and concealing identity.
