A warrant has been issued for a subject who assaulted a Sheriff’s Deputy late Wednesday night. According to a press release from the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, a felony arrest warrant was applied for early Thursday by the Vernon County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and issued by the 28th circuit court for Charles Allen Hart for Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer in the 1st degree, a class A felony. According to Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher, a deputy responded to a disturbance call in Sheldon and was assaulted by Hart. The Sheriff declined to specify what was used to assault the deputy because his office was still investigating the incident, but did confirm that Hart struck the deputy on the head with an object. Hart fled the scene after assaulting the deputy moments before back-up units arrived from the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, Barton County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the Nevada Police Department.
A second D felony warrant for attempted possession of a controlled substance has also been issued for Hart. Total bonds for Hart have been set at $252,500 cash only. Hart was moved to the Vernon County’s Most Wanted list on Thursday. Sheriff Mosher said the deputy was taken to the emergency room at the Nevada Regional Medical Center and was released early Thursday morning. Anyone with information on Harts whereabouts are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 417-667-6042
