Posted

On April 12, deputies conducted a traffic stop in Jonesburg after observing a vehicle fail to signal and operate with defective equipment. According to reports the driver refused to provide identification and repeatedly argued about constitutional rights while refusing lawful commands to exit the vehicle. Deputies attempted to de-escalate the situation, however, the driver continued to resist and made movements toward his waistband, prompting the deployment of a taser. After continued resistance deputies were able to remove the driver from the vehicle and place him into custody. During the arrest a handgun and ammunition were located on the driver, who was later determined to be a convicted felon. The suspect was transported to the MC Jail and placed on a 24-hour hold pending charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, resisting arrest and driving while revoked/suspended.

On April 14, deputies were conducting routine patrol in Wellsville when they observed a suspicious person in an alleyway. Deputies made contact with the subject and through their investigation they discovered the subject had an active warrant for his arrest out of Montgomery County for possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. The subject was arrest and transported to the MC Jail.
Also on April 14, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for expired registration plates in Montgomery City.

On April 16, deputies responded to a residence in High Hill for a disturbance involving an unwanted subject. According to reports an individual arrived at the residence unannounced to see a child, which led to a verbal altercation with the occupants.
