ADRIAN — Lenawee County is seeing an unusual trend, more people are being arrested, but fewer are staying in jail.
Officials say arrests have been increasing year over year, while the daily jail population remains well below capacity.
Sheriff Troy Bevier addressed that gap, focusing on what he calls “admissions” into the jail system.
That was Lenawee County Sheriff Troy Bevier explaining the disconnect between rising arrests and declining jail population, as the county continues to rely more on alternatives to incarceration.
