Traffic Crackdown, Council Lawsuit and Storm Alert Lead Henderson Headlines

It is shaping up to be a busy stretch in Henderson, with stepped-up traffic enforcement, renewed City Hall tensions and shifting weather all making headlines.

Police Increase Speed Enforcement

The Henderson Police Department has received a $174,500 state grant to expand traffic patrols across the city. The funding supports the statewide Joining Forces campaign, which runs from March 6 through March 23.

Officers will focus on corridors known for excessive speeds, with an emphasis on reducing crashes and injuries. Drivers can expect a more visible police presence in high-traffic areas throughout the next two weeks.

Council Dispute Escalates

A civil battery lawsuit filed by Councilwoman Carrie Cox against fellow Councilman Jim Seebock is drawing renewed attention to tensions at City Hall. The complaint stems from an alleged 2025 incident that Cox says caused her physical and emotional harm.

The dispute follows months of public friction within the council, including a prior censure vote. While no criminal charges were filed, the civil case keeps the matter active as Henderson heads into an election year.

Wind Advisory in Effect

Residents are also navigating gusty conditions this weekend. The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory through Saturday night, warning of strong winds that could impact travel and outdoor plans.

Drivers of high-profile vehicles are urged to use caution, especially along open roadways and near construction zones.

Silver Knights Return Home

On the lighter side, the Henderson Silver Knights host the Ontario Reign on Sunday afternoon at Lee’s Family Forum. Puck drop is scheduled for 3 p.m., bringing another home crowd to the arena as the team continues its regular season push.
