Walhalla police look to expand coverage

An approach to the Walhalla corporate limits may soon see patrolling city police vehicles. Councilman Tjay Bagwell broached the idea of an intergovernmental agreement in which the county Sheriff’s Office would surrender jurisdiction for a stretch of SC 28/the Blue Ridge Boulevard—from Zaxby’s to the Kountry Kupboard. Some of the area is already part of the corporate limits. The 28 corridor is a major entry point north into Walhalla. Sadly, Bagwell observed last night, it’s one of more littered sections of highways he has seen.
