The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office is hosting "Coffee with a Cop" - an event aimed at building relationships and encouraging conversation between citizens and deputies. The event will be Tuesday, September 17, from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Wuori Town Hall, 7449 Werner Road, Virginia. The Wuori Township Board will hold its regular meeting immediately following the event

The St. Louis County Board has given initial approval for the 2025 maximum property tax levy in the amount of $180,310,863. While this is a 7.23% increase in the levy compared to last year, it is slightly below the rate of growth in the county's property tax base of 7.8%, which will help offset this increase for many property owners. 

On September 5, 2024, at approximately 1647hrs first responders and law enforcement were dispatched to the 5300 block of Hwy 25, just south of the city of Kinney, after a male was found lying in the ditch.

On September 4th, 2024, just after midnight, the Sheriff's Office was contacted by a concerned citizen who wanted to report a St. Louis County School District bus driver consuming alcohol while off duty. There were concerns he was highly intoxicated and would not be sober by morning when he would likely begin his route. Deputies were able to make contact with the driver at his home just after 0600 hours and he said he was not working today. The school district was notified of this information and shortly after 0700 hours, Deputies received word from the district that the driver was in fact working and had started his route. Patrol deputies received his route information and were able to locate the bus on Independence Rd, just North of Seville Rd. The bus was pulled over without incident and the driver was ultimately arrested for DWI.
