Cass County Sheriffs Office: Sobriety Checkpoint

 The Cass County Sheriff's Office will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint during the month of August. 

This special enforcement is designed to make roadways safer and increase public awareness of the hazards of drinking and driving. "By removing intoxicated drivers from the roadways we can decrease the potential for motor vehicle accidents," said Sheriff Dwight Diehl. 

Partial funding for this project comes from a traffic safety grant program administered by the Highway Safety Division of the Missouri Department of Transportation. Normal traffic flow will not be severely interrupted, and delays will be minimal. The patience, cooperation, and understanding of all motorists will help make the highways safer for all drivers and passengers.

UPDATE: FBI to help in investigation of Body Found Near Stockton Lake

STOCKTON, Mo. - A couple on a hike found a body on Sunday afternoon at Crabtree Cove on Stockton Lake.  The body belonged to a man but investigators say they don't know his identity.

The discovery was about 4 p.m.   Cedar County sheriff's deputies and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rangers started investigating but then called the Missouri State Highway Patrol.  The Highway Patrol asked the FBI to investigate the death because the man's body was on federal property.

Cedar County Sheriff Chief Deputy Jason Johnson estimated the body had been there two to three days.  The FBI removed the body about 11:30 p.m. Sunday.  An autopsy is scheduled in Springfield on Tuesday. Bates County Live will update this when more information becomes available.

Harrisonville Police Department: Telephone scam being conducted in Harrisonville

The Harrisonville Police Department wants to warn citizens of a telephone scam being conducted in Harrisonville by a company, "Collections and Disconnect." So far the calls originate from 1-866-978-8068 or 1-866-978-7856. The telemarketer claims they are from KCP&L or surrounding electric companies and that your electricity is past due and in jeopardy of interruption. The telemarketer claims to avoid interruption, immediate payment is due in various high dollar increments. They request payment in form of check or "Green Dot" card from a drug store. 

Remember to contact your electric provider for your most up to date billing information before sending any money. Also be aware of any company only accepting payment in form of check or payment card such as "Green Dot" cards or money orders.

If you receive any suspicious calls, contact KCP&L at 1-888-471-5275 to confirm that the person requesting the payment or your credit information is employed by KCP&L.
