While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, Sheridan County Sheriff Levi Dominguez suggested anyone who has experienced flooding in the spring in the past may want to begin gathering sandbags as soon as possible. 

According to the Sheriff, deputies are helping Sheridan County departments to gather information during their patrols through the county.
