Good morning, Decatur.

On May 3, Decatur Park officer and Macon County troopers shot suspect Oscar M.

McCurry after he allegedly stole a squad car, wielded a machete, and pointed a shotgun at them—he received medical treatment, was booked into jail, and later arraigned on charges while the state's attorney ruled the force justified.

Decatur Police Department Chief Brad Allen said that as warmer weather brings a rise in crime this summer, his department will use its Community Action Team plus enforce a curfew from Sunday through Thursday at 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and from Friday to Saturday at 12:01 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. to reduce gun violence and teen offenses.

The Illinois State Police announced that K-9 Maco passed away on May 5 from a long-term medical condition—he served with Trooper Matthew Hunt and helped seize drugs in major operations.

The Illinois Department of Public Health warns that smoke from wildfires in Canada is drifting over Decatur and could hurt breathing.

Officials say children, older adults and those with heart or lung issues should limit time outside and use N95 masks — cloth and surgical masks do not block the harmful particles.
