On Friday morning, Sept. 27, the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, Austin Police Department, and the Indiana State Police assisted the Indiana State Parole Office in conducting a sweep of parolees living in Scott County who were in violation of their parole agreement.
During this sweep a total of 19 parolees and residences were visited; three people were arrested from the visits, said Scott County Sheriff Jerry Goodin.
