(Decatur, IL) — A central Illinois deputy will not collect a paycheck while he sits in a jail cell on attempted murder charges. Macon County Sheriff Thomas Schneider yesterday said that Deputy Markes Rodgers is on unpaid leave as prosecutors push attempted murder charges against him. Investigators in Christian County say Rodgers fired several shots at his wife after a fight over the weekend. Rodgers then barricaded himself in his house for nine hours. Rodgers has been with the Macon County Sheriff’s Office for more than ten years.
