Roads remain icy. With temperatures dropping, conditions will worsen. If your presence is not required, please stay home.

01/25/2026

We have had officers responding throughout the night and this morning to multiple vehicle crashes. Conditions have become very icy, very fast, especially with the current temperatures. Being on the road not only endangers yourself but others who may be out traveling. First responders are also endangered because we will respond to every call. Please stay home and enjoy your Sunday if you can. Road conditions will continue to worsen, making even 4-wheel drive vehicles difficult to operate. If you must travel due to work-related tasks or emergencies, please drive safely. The Stoneville Police Department will continue to provide updates as the weather and roadways improve.
