Nevada officers busy serving arrest warrants

Nevada Daily Mail

The Nevada Police Department reports that a team of officers has been taking steps to round up and arrest subjects with active warrants. Officers have executed several warrants by arresting eight individual fugitives in three days time. Officers say that this effort will continue.

Three individual officers have made the arrests since April 30. Sgt. John Millard arrested, Christina L. Barker on an assault warrant, Justin J. Goolsby on two resisting arrest warrants and a passing bad check warrant and also arrested William A. Newton for a felony warrant out of Cole County, Mo.

Officer Lukas Gibson arrested, Michael S. Brigman Sr. on an outstanding Missouri Department of Corrections parole violation warrant.

Officer Josh Westerhold arrested, Lyn B. Horst on two failure to appear warrants from Bates County, Mo., Justin Byram on a felony probation violation warrant, Walter A. West on two failure to appear warrants and Paul K. Johnson on a warrant for a violation of an exparte order.

It is the goal of the Nevada Police Department to provide those services to our community to ensure the safety of our residents so they feel as safe and protected as possible. In a step toward that effort, Nevada police officers will continue to quickly apprehend those persons with active warrants within our city limits.

Captain Casey Crain states, "Nevada Officers are doing a great job in getting fugitives off of our streets in an effort to protect those people who work and live here. This will be an ongoing effort to quickly round up fugitives that are choosing Nevada to hide."

Citizens are encouraged to contact the police if they have any information that would be helpful to combat crime. For questions regarding crime prevention techniques or to start a Neighborhood Watch Program, contact the Nevada Police Department at (417) 448-2710.

To report criminal activities call 911 or use the Tip Hotline (417) 448-5117. Any and all information will be kept confidential.

Endersgame, it's people like you who make me sick with your nasty comments about law enforcement. But boy, let someone try to break into your house while your asleep or you need assistance for anything, guess who you're calling and expecting them to go look for the bumps in the night that frighten you or put their own health in danger by going into a house that has an active meth lab in operation. I am married to a cop and so is my daughter and you have no idea the fear we live with everyday that when they leave for work, the next time we see them it will be to identify their body because someone hated cops and killed them.So before you decide to bad mouth a cop, take the time to think that these men and women who come to your rescue are someones child, spouse and parent.

The local police do their job. It's the courts that let us down. Check casenet. See how many committ a felony every year and never serve any town. You will find people who have 10-15 felonies in the last 5 years and have never served time. Always probation. No wonder they re-offend.
