More charges filed against Pittsburg suspect in Barton County shooting after he breaks jailer's nose

A Pittsburg man was finally arrested in connection with a shooting in the Barton County community of Burgess after fighting with law enforcement in Missouri and then across the state line into Kansas.

The fighting did not stop there, according to this news release from Crawford County Sheriff Dan Peak

The suspect, Shawn Hoag, 30 of Pittsburg, KS remained combative after he was taken into custody. He continued to fight authorities at the Crawford County Jail. One Correctional Officer suffered a broken nose and lacerations after being attacked by Hoag. Further charges through Crawford County District Court are pending as a result of this incident.

Hoag remains in custody at the Crawford County Jail.

From the earlier Barton County Sheriff's Office news release:

The Liberal Police Chief arrived first at the intersection of Stateline Road and NW 35th road. At that intersection he was confronted by a 30 year of age while male subject who was combative and was bleeding from injuries he had sustained earlier. The Liberal Chief attempted to take the male subject into custody however the subject resisted arrest and began to fight Chief Simpson. Chief Simpson fought with the subject for a lengthy period of time until back up could arrive. Chief Simpson was assisted when four Crawford County Deputies arrived on scene and assisted in the fight with the subject to take him into custody. When the fight ended the subject , Chief Simpson, and Crawford County Deputies were actually in Kansas. Crawford County Deputies transported the subject to the Crawford County Jail.

Deputies from Barton County went to two separate homes in Burgess that the suspect had allegedly entered. A 60 year of age female was found at one of the two addresses with two gunshot wounds she had sustained. She was treated by medics from the Barton County Ambulance and Crawford County ambulance services. She was transported by Helicopter to Freeman Hospital for medical treatment and at this time her condition is stable.

Deputies from Crawford County are working another investigation in Mulberry involving the suspect in the case.

  1. Sounds like this guy is really dangerous. Hope they keep him locked up for quite a long time. Luckily he didnt kill anyone, this time. If they let him bond out, he probably will.
