Today, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, in collaboration with Leeton Police Chief Rick Stropes and the Missouri State Fire Marshal's Office, assisted in the investigation of the arson incident at the Leeton United Methodist Church.
During the investigation, juveniles have been identified as having committed the arson. Due to their age, further information regarding their identities cannot be released in compliance with Missouri law governing juvenile information.
This case will be referred to the Johnson County Juvenile Office for appropriate actions.
We appreciate the community's support and cooperation!
Thank you,
Johnson County Sheriff’s Office
