Got arrested after going to the McGruder's Drive-thru.

This is the first time I visited a county facility in Shelbina. I was impressed by friendliness as well as professionalism of all county staffers, elected or directly employed. Easy to find, easy to talk to, and easy to find answers and solutions to one's questions. 100% satisfaction. I am used to huge county facilities (like Cook in Chicago), so I was amused with the county jail downstairs. Other counties can learn something from Shelby.
