On
6/25/13, Bennett R Ivlow W/M 4/23/80 a convicted felon from Montrose Missouri,
was arrested by the Bates County Sheriff’s Office and has been charged with 4
Counts of Assault 2nd Degree, 2 Counts of Armed Criminal Action and
2 Counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the 1st
Degree. Ivlow’s bond was set by Judge
Hopkins at $80,000 cash only.
The
charges come from an incident on 6/25/2013.
Bennet’s ex-girlfriend, Ashley Walker of Belton went to Bennet’s
residence in Montrose with Bennet’s sister, Marna Ivlow, to pick up their two
minor children. Walker left the
residence with the two children and was driving back toward Butler on H Highway
when Bennett and his father, Denver Ivlow W/M 9/15/44 (69), began chasing them
in a vehicle. Denver passed the vehicle
with Walker and the children and forced it to stop in the middle of the
roadway. At that point Bennett exited
his father’s vehicle and fired one round from a .45 caliber handgun. The bullet entered the windshield just above
the wipers and stopped in the dash of the vehicle. Bennett’s sister Marna, the driver of the
Walker vehicle, sped off around Denver’s vehicle continuing toward Butler. Denver continued to chase the Walker vehicle
leaving his son Bennett along the roadway.
Denver
again passed the Walker vehicle and came to a stop in the middle of the roadway
forcing the Walker vehicle to stop once again.
Denver then put his vehicle in reverse and rammed the front of the
Walker vehicle. The Walker vehicle was
able to drive around Denver’s vehicle again and continued on into the Butler
area. The two victims flagged down a Deputy
at a gas station in Butler and reported the incident to him.
Denver
and Bennett returned home to Montrose and called the Henry County Sheriff’s
Office and attempted to report the two children, ages 3 and 4 as victims of a
kidnapping. Members of the Bates County
Sheriff’s Office, Henry County Sheriff’s Office and the Missouri State Highway
Patrol responded to the residence of the Ivlow’s. Both Ivlows were brought to the
Bates
County Sheriff’s Office to complete the investigation.
Additional
charges are being reviewed by the Bates County Prosecutor on both subjects.
