On April 9, Nevada Officer Barker obtained information regarding a subject with a felony warrant believed to be in Nevada. Officer Barker located the vehicle in question and made contact with an occupant inside the vehicle who was found to have an active felony probation warrant for their arrest. The subject was identified as Adam Covington.
Officer Barker was able to successfully take Covington into custody without incident. During a search of his person, officers located over 20 grams of suspected methamphetamine.
Covington was transported to the Vernon County Jail on his probation violation warrant with no bond. Additional felony charges will be submitted to the Vernon County Prosecutor for review of formal charges.
Officer Barker has been a great asset to our department since joining. Great work staying proactive and helping keep our community safe.
