TAZEWELL COUNTY, Ill. (WMBD) — The Tazewell County Sheriff Department will not enforce the mandated stay-at-home executive order.
Tazewell County Sheriff Jeff Lower says he has heard from numerous concerned people asking about the governor’s current executive order. Lower tells us his office will not arrest people for trying to live their daily lives.
In an email sent to an unknown recipient Thursday, Sheriff Jeffrey Lower wrote that his primary focus is to protect the citizens of Tazewell and their constitutional rights. The email states Lower believes Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is “over-reaching” his powers. Tazewell County Sheriff Jeff Lower says he and his deputies will not write people tickets who don’t follow the order.
