Klamath County

Much of Klamath County is experiencing extreme drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, as south-central Oregon enters the spring with mountain snowpack levels well below normal.

Klamath County Sheriff Frank Skrah's day in court has been delayed until mid-December.

The charges include counts of harassment, official misconduct, attempted assault and strangulation.

The Klamath County sheriff is being investigated by the Oregon Department of Justice.

The complaint alleges that Klamath County commissioners usurped the sheriff's authority by granting the paid leave.
