FELONY THEFT: A Montrose County School District employee is accused of bilking at least hundreds of thousands of dollars through false expenditures and misuse of the district's credit cards. The Montrose Police Department on Dec. 11 arrested Robert S. "Steve" McEwin, an information services employee. Based on what was found when officers served a search warrant, police determined McEwin was preparing to move out of the area, Montrose Police Chief Blaine Hall said. GARDEN OF LIGHTS CHANGES: Due to the effects from the pandemic, the festive Garden of Lights tradition in Montrose is being tweaked, at least for December. With cases rising and the county still in orange (high risk) on the state's dial dashboard, the walk through the garden has been canceled. However, residents interested in catching the bright displays aren't out of luck.
