Right now, it’s a standoff. Sheriff Cruz has positioned sharpshooters in three locations. Roadblocks are up for five miles. But here’s the critical detail: one of the murderers, a woman named Darla Hicks – she’s serving life for killing a deputy in 2019 – was seen laughing from a window an hour ago, holding a sheriff’s badge. That has enraged the law enforcement side. Several deputies had to be restrained. These are killers
Adding to the tension, we’ve learned that family members of the murderers’ past victims have gathered at the county line. Some are calling for the sheriffs to “storm the mill.” Others are praying. There’s a raw, almost frontier justice feeling in the air.

“To the men and women in that mill: you have ten minutes to send out anyone who wants to surrender. After that, we’re coming in. Not as judges. Not as executioners. As the law. You made yourselves murderers. We swore to be sheriffs. One of those means more than the other.”
