Looking to be a part? Read on…FETCH the deets. Here are the details: SCORCH’S PAWS FOR

A woman is dead after a rollover crash in Pierce County.  The county sheriff’s office says Glenwood City resident Brenda Westbrook was northbound on Highway 63 near County Road Y early yesterday morning when she left the road.  Westbrook crossed the center line, hit the shoulder, rolled her truck, and was thrown out.  She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The real Eau Claire County Clerk doesn’t call people and demand that they pay their fines.  Police in Eau Claire are warning of a new phone scam that’s making the rounds.  Investigators say people have gotten calls from a number that claims to be the clerk’s office, the scammer then demands a payment for past due fines, or else.  Police say the real clerk doesn’t call, and never demands payment.  If you get a call, simply hang-up.
