Rice County Sheriff's Office

The major drug seizure was the result of a multi-agency investigation.

The State Patrol says a 15-year-old girl was taken to the hospital with injuries.

The crash caused slowdowns on the interstate’s northbound lanes.

The deadly incident occurred less than six hours after a Rochester man was killed in a motorcycle crash.

Officials say the victim was a 14-year-old boy who was a passenger in one of the two pickups that collided Tuesday evening.

Sanderson was charged with four felony drugs counts, two possession and two sale and a count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Officials say he fired multiple rounds from his gun during the stand-off.

The signs posted at lake accesses say "on all Rice County lakes," but in a Facebook post from the Sheriff's Office they say, "No wake restrictions are in force on 12 Rice County lakes (Cannon, Circle, Cedar, Cody/Phelps, French, Fox, Hunt, Mazaska, Roberds, Sakatah, Shields, Union) until further notice."

There were no injuries among the three adults and six juveniles involved. Jesse Thomas, Rice County Sheriff was glad all were wearing life jackets and says the Cannon has a lot of debris in it.
