WALLACE — The Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office recently received the green light from county commissioners to pursue funds from the U.S. Border Patrol to beef up its presence on Interstate 90.
“They’ve been offering us a ton of assistance — more than I’ve seen in other areas,” Capt. Seth Green said. “They’re interested in this region particularly because of I-90 and it goes through.”
