Correction of information

In the Thursday, Oct. 20 Humboldt Independent, the lead story in the Humboldt County Sheriff's report (page 7A) contained incorrect information. One of the subjects involved in the incident, Doug Prime, 49, of Dakota City, should have been identified as Doug Prime Jr. Mr. Prime was charged with simple assault. The reason Mr. Prime was transferred to the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital was not disclosed, contrary to what was stated. Mr. Prime posted bail and was not released on his own recognizance as stated. Also, Logan Prime's pickup truck received damage to the box of the truck, not to the windshield as stated in the news article. The windshield was not broken. The Humboldt Independent strives for accuracy in its reporting and apologizes for these factual errors and any inferences made from the inaccuracies.
