Yet another scam going around

The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware that scammers are falsely using our phone number to contact citizens. These individuals are pretending to be law enforcement officers and attempting to obtain personal information, payments, or threaten legal action.

Please be aware:

Our office will never call and demand payment over the phone.

We do not request personal or financial information by phone, text, or email.

We do not threaten arrest unless you send money or gift cards.

This scam is called phone spoofing, where criminals make it appear as though the call is coming from our official number.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us. 417-646-2565

Butler police find drugs in traffic stops

September 1, 2025 a Butler Officer observed a red Hyundai passenger vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on Main Street. The Officer also observed the vehicle to have no rear safety glass. The Officer then activated emergency lights and the vehicle pulled into a driveway. The driver, later identified as James Mattingly exited the vehicle and attempted to walk away before being given commands to come back by the Officer.

The driver denied consent to search the vehicle and a K-9 then responded to conduct a free air sniff. K-9 Enzo alerted to the vehicle and a probable cause search was then conducted.

During the search of the vehicle, the Officers located suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

November 23, 2025 at approximately 9:05pm, a Butler Officer observed a Ford Focus traveling on Pine Street with a defective headlight. The officer then conducted a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, identified as Billie Bolton and the passenger, later identified as Jerry Fuqua.

The Officer requested consent to search the vehicle and Bolton gave consent. Various items to include crystal like substance, syringes filled with a liquid substance that tested positive for methamphetamine, and spoons were located during the search.
