Upon arrival, it was discovered that two suspects entered the property and cut the power to the building using tree pruners. The subjects also tampered with the building’s security and stole items from the business before leaving the property.
Due to recent issues in the area, Nevada Police had additional security in place that caught the subjects in the same area as when the incident occurred. Officers were familiar with both individuals involved and were able to quickly identify them.
Nevada Police were able to obtain arrest warrants for both subjects involved. Once the arrest warrants were issued Nevada Police coordinated with the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office who were able to take both subjects into custody in the rural Nevada area.
The subjects were taken into custody and transported to the Vernon County Jail for holding.
The subjects have been identified as follows:
Dustin Pike, age 37 of Nevada, Missouri.
Madalyn George, age 22 of Nevada, Missouri
On June 24, 2025, the following charges were filed against both subjects through the Vernon County Associate Court:
One (1) Count of Tampering with Service of Utility or Institution – Class D Felony
One (1) Count of Property Damage 1st Degree – Class E Felony
