Benton County's attorney is moving to the other side of the bench. Governor Mark Dayton today (Thursday) appointed Robert Raupp as District Court Judge in the Seventh Judicial District.
The number of Benton County crimes involving adults has gone up only slightly in 2010 compared to 2009. Some crimes like misdemeanor assaults dropped significantly, while others like burglaries rose. Benton County Attorney Robert Raupp says unfortunately domestic crimes continue to hold steady or even go up.
