Man charged after breaking into TCHS
Trimble County Sheriff Tim Coons said Martin Bayne, 24, was charged with second-degree burglary Saturday morning after being caught inside Trimble County High School as police investigated a break-in there.
Coons said Superintendent Marcia Haney Dunaway reported the break-in after noticing two windows broken out in the back of the building. Coons said Bayne attempted to enter the building through one of the locker rooms, but couldn’t, then broke into another locker room, through which he was able to enter the building.

Trimble County voters will use a new voting system in 2011.
Fiscal Court on Monday approved a request from County Clerk Jerry Powell to replace the voting system provided by Omaha, Neb.-based Election Systems and Software to a system provided by Lexington, Ky.-based Harp Enterprises.
The total cost for the changeover is $77,500, which will be partially offset by a $54,000 in federal grant from the state Board of Elections this year for the purchase of new machines.
