Macomb, IL – The McDonough County Sheriff's Office will put a physician on retainer to provide for prisoner care. Sheriff Rick Van Brooker told the County Board's Finance Committee his office will pay $800 per month to Dr. Dennis Coventon of LaHarpe. Van Brooker says Coventon has provided care for several years under a community service agreement, and then continued for five years after the agreement ended. Van Brooker will work with the state's attorney to come up with a contract.
