Search warrant served near Elementary school in Clinton
Inside the residence, which is located across the street and in direct view of an elementary school, Investigators located approximately 3/4 of a pound of methamphetamine, three firearms- one of which had been previously reported stolen, a significant quantity of firearm ammunition and several hundreds of dollars in currency. The street value of the meth was estimated at around $8,000.
Jason Aery, age 44, and a resident of that address, was arrested for 24 Hours Investigation of Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Distribute and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
Clinton Police Investigators were also assisted by the Johnson County Missouri Sheriff's Office who graciously used their laser spectrometry device to test the substance, instantly confirming the substance was methamphetamine and thereby avoiding any delay in the investigation that would have occurred with regular laboratory testing.

Obituary - Larry Hebblethwaite
.webp)
Arrangements entrusted to Mullinax Funeral Home, Butler (660-679-0009). Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.mullinaxfuneralhome.com.
Larry was born on November 28, 1950, to James and Avril Hebblethwaite. He was the tenth out of thirteen children. Larry graduated from Houston High School and moved to Independence, Missouri, where he married Cheryl (Blanchard). To this union of thirty-two years, three children were born.
Larry was many things in life, including softball and basketball coach, pool shark, tire king, garage sale professional, thrift store connoisseur, and shade tree mechanic (of course, it was all bolts and duct tape inside the house). You were just as likely to find Larry engaged in his backyard ministry as you were to find him sitting on the front porch, baseball bat in hand, ready to defend loved ones. The man had absolutely no rhythm, but that didn’t stop him from knowing every rock and roll and country artist
and group, or the year that a song came out. He joined the Community of Christ Church, becoming a member of the priesthood, including a term as pastor and several years as church camp director. This made him blessed with life-long friendships.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all of the healthcare workers for the patience, care, and support provided over the years. So many loving individuals became more than just names on badges. Special thanks to Beautiful Savior Nursing Home and Good Shepherd Hospice.
Even though medical conditions impacted him later in life, Larry will always be remembered as a master storyteller, the life of the party, and just plain ornery.
Two of Dad's favorite sayings that we find ourselves repeating are, "I'll throw it out in the middle of Ft. Scott Street, think I won't?!" as well as, "Get up, shake it off, and keep moving" when we were hurt. We're going to have a tough time doing that last one, but we'll try, Dad.
Survivors include his three children: Troy (Tom), Trina, and Tifany (Brent); five grandchildren: Michaiah, Amara, Alejandro, Antonio, and Alex; three brothers: Jim, Kenny, and Scott; three sisters: Donna, Shirley, and Peggy; and, a plethora of awesome nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Bob, Duane, Jack, and Dennis; and sisters Joyce and LaDena.
Contributions in Larry’s memory can be made to the Butler Old High School Thrift Store, where he browsed frequently for the best deals but also donates proceeds to local nonprofit groups, or the Butler Youth Baseball and Softball Association (BYBSA) in the care of Mullinax Funeral Home.
