Cameras stolen from school recovered




Two Beloit Turner High School students were arrested Wednesday for allegedly stealing cameras from the school.



Evan N. Brown, 17, from the 1600 block of Highway 51, and Tharyn C. Dygart, 17, from the 2500 block of Robinson Drive, were arrested after police reportedly recovered seven Nikon digital cameras and four Minolta cameras.


Town of Beloit Police Sgt. Laura Palmer said Brown led police to a home in the 900 block of Woodward Avenue Wednesday afternoon, and the cameras were recovered. Palmer said four cameras are still missing. Police got consent to search the home, Palmer said.


Both students face charges of burglary, theft and possession of stolen property.


Ringhand kicks off Senate campaign


EVANSVILLE — State Rep. Janis Ringhand, D-Evansville, officially kicked off her campaign for State Senate Wednesday at Evansville City Hall.


“Since 2010, I have proudly served as your representative in the State Assembly,” Ringhand said. “I couldn’t think of a better location to announce my State Senate candidacy than the place where my public service began 15 years ago at Evansville City Hall. Serving as Alderwoman and then Mayor, I learned the importance of listening, communication and working until you find a solution. This is the common sense approach I want to bring to the State Senate.”


Ringhand currently serves in the Wisconsin Assembly representing the 45th Assembly District, which includes part of Beloit. She is running for the 15th Senate District seat, currently held by Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville. Cullen announced recently he will not run for another term.
