------------
Due to an ongoing situation at the Dawes County Courthouse, law enforcement is asking residents to stay away from the area of the courthouse, and use alternative routes for picking up kids at school and other activities till the situation is resolved.
Main Street and Chadron Avenue are closed so you will need to use other routes this afternoon.
"Local law enforcement is requesting that families avoid Main Street when school is dismissed," Chadron Public Schools said. "At this time, they have an incident near the Court House that is contained but would appreciate it if the public avoided the area until it is cleared. Thank you."
