Two from Appleton City arrested in St. Clair County


On Aug. 14, George Richey, 55, Appleton City, was arrested on a St. Clair County warrant charging him with class A misdemeanor peace disturbance. Bond is set at $5,000 cash or surety.

The charge stems from a St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office investigation the same day when a deputy took a report from a female victim who stated Richey has been threatening to kill her family with a baseball bat. The female had a recording of the incident on her cell phone. She stated she was in fear for her life and filled out a request for prosecution

On Aug. 16, Shannon Knowles, 46, Appleton City, was arrested on a St. Clair County warrant charging her with failure to appear on an original charge of possession of controlled substance. Bond is set at $5,000 cash only.

The original charge stems from an incident on April 15, 2015 when St. Clair County deputies, members of the Mid Missouri Multi Jurisdictional Drug Task Force, and the Miller County SWAT Team served a search warrant at her residence on Miller Street, Appleton City. 

During the investigation, a small plastic bag containing a white substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine was located in a bedroom. Knowles allegedly admitted the methamphetamine was hers and stated it had been there for three years.
