During this Veteran’s day remembrance weekend, I recall recently viewing the names of those posted on the walls of our county courthouse who have gone “above and beyond” the call of duty in protecting our freedoms. They, along with our current service members, have served and serve to protect our “corners of the world” so we can enjoy some of those life events which we cherish. We, as the professional members of the Office of the Carroll County Sheriff, continue to serve and protect “this corner” of our world. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and thank God for the Peacemakers. To each veteran, whether past or present, thank you for your unselfish sacrifice for God, Country, and Carroll County. God’s Blessings on you. Respectfully, Sheriff Tobe H. Leazenby

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office received word at approximately 7:00 p.m. tonight that the three sisters taken from their Grandmother's Carroll County home on Tuesday, have been safely found in West Helena, Arkansas. Through the valuable assistance of the US Marshal's Service and the Arkansas State Police, the girls were taken into safekeeping by child services there. Their mother, Leah Banks, and the father of two of three girls, Kevin Banks, were arrested and taken into custody. They face felony criminal charges of Interfering with Custody in Carroll County. Detective Tony Liggett and K9 Deputy Spencer Kingery are to be commended for their hard work on the investigation. Detective Liggett worked diligently all week to frequently communicate and stay up to date with authorities in Arkansas with continuing efforts to find the girls. "Our goal since Tuesday was to find those girls before Christmas and we accomplished it. Children shouldn't have to spend Christmas this way and thankfully these girls will not. We thank those who have extended thoughts and prayers during this investigation" , stated Sheriff Tobe Leazenby.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office continues to follow up and look into information relating to three missing children, taken from their grandmother's home in rural Carroll County Tuesday morning. Their biological mother Leah M. Banks, 33, last known address in Washington State, allegedly left the grandmother's residence with the three children. The three girls and their descriptors (photo attached) are as follows: Georgia Banks, age 8 black/female, 4"8' height, 80 pounds, black hair and brown eyes; Amariah Banks, age 6, black/female, 4'2" height, 60 pounds, black hair and brown eyes; and Aujhanay Udhus, age 12, white/female, 4'11" height 129 pounds, brown hair, and hazel eyes. The mother and father (Kevin M Banks, 42, last known address in Washington State) had their parental custody of the girls removed through a court in King County, Washington. The girls' biological mother was staying with her own mother in Carroll County for the holidays when Ms. Banks gathered the children and left the residence in Carroll County. In talking with Carroll County family members, Carroll County Sheriff's investigators were provided information which lead them to believe the children were not in imminent danger. The Sheriff's Office provided information to the Indiana Missing Children's Clearinghouse Center and were informed the situation did not warrant an Amber Alert, since the children were not believed to be in danger. It is believed the two adults and three children are traveling, possibly to the state of Arkansas, in a dark blue Buick Terraza van with Arkansas license plate of 345VTN. The children and vehicle description are listed in the nationwide Missing Persons file of the National Crime Information Center(NCIC). Investigators continue to follow up with prosecutors to determine any criminal violations to pursue. Anyone who sees these children or this vehicle is asked to contact local enforcement.
