The Sheriff and one Deputy patrolled the grounds looking for train robbers, bank robbers and criminals alike. They were assisted by their trusty horses Deputy Hank and Deputy Mo.
Several kids and adults were rounded up and held in the slammer until bond could be posted on their behalf. 2 wooden nickles were required for bond! The kids and adults alike enjoyed playing the roll of being a bad guy. But rest assured that before leaving the slammer each one received a deputy badge and a commission to enforce the laws.
Many of the kids had never had an opportunity to sit on a horse prior to Saturday and we were happy to give them the opportunity to get in the saddle with Deputy Hank and Deputy Mo.
The Sheriff’s Office is proud of the relationship with the Western Missouri Antique Tractor Association and appreciates them allowing us to be part of this great community asset.
“We take pride in our relationship with community civic groups to better our community.” Says Sheriff Anderson. “Showing our youth that we are approachable and having that relationship may prevent them from being hesitant in approaching us in a time of need or tragedy.”
