5 Places You Should Never Use a Debit Card

Wisconsin State

The majority of coins don't hold much value - a penny is worth just one cent, a nickel five, and a dime ten, but on occasion, the coins that make up your loose change can be worth way more than face value. That's definitely the case for some quarters in circulation that are worth over $2,000. The coins to be on the lookout for are Wisconsin state quarters that came out in 2004. The backs of all of those quarters show a wheel of cheese, a cow, and an ear of corn, but the valuable ones have something particularly special going on with the corn.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
