COMMUNITY AWARENESS POST.
Hello People of Butler, please share!

If you are wondering who is the one going around in the area and knocking on doors, then it’s me.

Since I always try to be really transparent at what I do, I'm doing this post.

I'm a University student from Europe, Estonia and doing my summer exchange program in this area selling educational books & apps for families from young toddlers all the way through College prep. I am not affiliated with any of the local schools.

This is my 1st week in Butler and so far your community has been super friendly towards me. Thank you for that!

I already got my solicitor license approved by the City Of Butler and went through Butler Police Department to introduce myself. Everybody’s so nice!

I’m now going to be meeting up with every family in Butler during the next few weeks selling educational materials that:

Help parents to help kids with the new math & other subjects
Help students to save time with schoolwork & test preparation
Help with ACT preparation by Princeton Review
Help with college credit classes by McGraw Hill
and last but not least. A jump start program for the pre-k kids that helps give a head start for school.

When I knock on your door, then know that I have an accent, please do not be intimidated by that. - Lilian Bookgirl Männi

Stolen vehicle from Cass County recovered in Rich Hill

On 8/2/2022 Deputies from the Bates County Sheriff's Office received a tip in reference to a possible stolen vehicle at 203 W Chestnut Rich Hill Missouri.

On arrival Deputies made contact with the property owner and observed the truck. Deputies advised the male subject of the possibility of the truck being stolen. The male subject provided a title with the VIN numbers that matched the VIN on the dash.

The Title showed the truck to be an F250 and the truck was an F350. A closer inspection of the truck showed the VIN number was tampered. The title and the truck were taken into evidence to determine the proper VIN number.

An inspection of the truck revealed the true VIN number and that truck was stolen out of the Pleasant Hill Mo area. Cass County Sheriff's Office was contacted and will join the investigation into determining who stole the truck.

Charges are being forwarded to the Prosecuting Attorney in reference to the stolen vehicle.
