It is the season for thunderstorms. All thunderstorms produce lighting. If you hear the sound of thunder, then you are in danger from lightning. Lightning kills 75 to 100 people each year. 

The best place to go during a thunderstorm is a sturdy building or a car. Avoid sheds, picnic areas, baseball dugouts and bleachers. If there is no shelter around you, stay away from trees. If you're with a group of people stay about 15 feet from each other. Stay out of the water. 

If you're indoors do not use a corded phone. Do not use electric equipment like computers and appliances during the storm. Also it is a good idea to stay away from windows and doors. Remember to always listen to the radio or television for the latest information and instructions for your area.

Joint Agency Effort Puts Vehicle Theft Suspect in Jail

Alexander Morris

On March 22, 2017 Nevada Police were dispatched to Subway Sandwich at 2021 E Austin Blvd. for a vehicle theft in progress. It was reported to officers the suspect had stolen a pick-up and the victim was in the vehicle.

As officers began responding to the area it was reported the victim had jumped out of the vehicle around the Pilot Travel Center. Communications relayed to officers that the suspect vehicle went south bound on I-49. 

Nevada Officers started to search the area for the suspect and vehicle. A Vernon County Sheriff’s Deputy came into contact with the vehicle and attempted to stop it on I-49. The driver failed to stop for the deputy and a pursuit was initiated. One Nevada Police Detective continued toward the deputy for mutual aid.

The suspect traveled south on I-49 and took the Bellamy exit east bound on State Highway DD. Law enforcement continued to pursue the suspect and stolen vehicle until the suspect came to a stop on a county road and ran into a pasture on foot. Shortly after law enforcement was able to successfully take the suspect into custody without incident.

The suspect was transported to the Vernon County Jail once taken into custody. The vehicle was released back to the owner. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage that was determined to have been caused from a crash with an embankment from where the vehicle was taken from.

The suspect has been identified as, 27 year old, Greenfield, Missouri resident, Alexander Morris.

Morris has been charged through the Vernon County Associate Court with the following charges:

Kidnapping, Felony D
Stealing a Motor Vehicle, Felony D
Leaving the scene of an accident-Property damage, Felony E
Assault 4th degree, Misdemeanor A
Driving while Revoked, Misdemeanor D

Morris was given a bond of $11,000 cash only.

Nevada Police Department would like to thank the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office for their help in the group effort to take the suspect into custody.
