St.Clair County Sheriffs Office Warrant Arrests

On Feb. 9, Flint Greer, 27, Humansville, was arrested on a St. Clair County warrant charging him with class D felony possession of a controlled substance and class E felony unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia-amphetamine or methamphetamine. Bond is set at $10,000 cash or surety.
The charges stem from a St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office investigation the previous day when a deputy was dispatched to a call of a trespasser causing a disturbance at on SE 1074 Road, Collins. Contact was made with Greer, who had driven to Pilot Travel Center, Collins. During the investigation a crystalline substance was located and field tested positive for methamphetamine.  Several items of methamphetamine paraphernalia were also located.  

On Feb. 9, Jessica Hutchins, 29, Osceola, was arrested in St. Clair County on a Benton County warrant for failure to appear on an ordinance violation of shoplifting. Bond is set at $1,000 cash or surety.

On Feb. 8, Samantha Taylor, 29, Deepwater, was arrested on a St. Clair County warrant for failing to appear in court on two counts of class A misdemeanor domestic assault-third degree. Bond was set at $10,000 cash only.
On Feb. 10 a bond modification order was issued by the court and Taylor was released on her own recognizance.
The original charges stem from an incident on Jan. 30, 2016 when a St. Clair County deputy responded to a call in reference to a female making a threat to another individual at an apartment on South Mahan Street, Lowry City. During the investigation it was discovered Taylor entered a residence, uninvited, of another individual placing them in apprehension of immediate physical injury. Taylor allegedly pushed her way through another family member and threatened to cut the throat of the individual.

REMINDER: Adult coloring tonight at the Butler Public Library

Please refrain from open burning...

Just as the Butler Fire Department has stated that no burn permits will be issued until further notice, the winds kicked up around the county.

Super dry conditions, plus warmer temps and wind mean that it's basically a tinderbox all around the area.

Please be careful when discarding cigarettes, too. If you see a grass fire please call the fire department immediately.
