At about 9:30 a.m. today, Klickitat County Dispatch received a call from the Klickitat School District. School staff who were monitoring cameras observed what appeared to be two males approaching school property, and one appeared to be armed with a gun.

Songer stated that he believes arresting someone for killing a wolf when it is attacking or killing livestock to be “a violation of the individual’s Constitutional rights.”

The Lyle Community Council heard a proposal from Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer and Undersheriff Carmen Knopes about the potential of installing license-plate reading cameras throughout the county at the council’s Sept. 13 meeting. “It’s strictly for crime fighting. It’s not facial recognition or anything like that. They would be installed in high crime rate areas where we have a lot of theft going on,” said Songer. 

Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer has announced that the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office Posse will be holding two free NRA Basic Handgun classes for Klickitat County residents.

Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer has big hopes for his final term as sheriff. The 77-year-old, third-term sheriff’s goals for the next four years include: establishing an animal shelter, proclaiming Klickitat County a constitutional county, increasing his posse to 200, and hiring Washington gubernatorial candidate Loren Culp to run the Klickitat County Jail.
