Reeds, LaRussell residents arrested, meth, stolen weapon confiscated by Sarcoxie Police

(From the Sarcoxie Police Department)

On 04-27-2020, a Sarcoxie officer initiated an investigative stop on a red Chevy van who had a known person who had a parole violation warrant inside.

The officer made contact with the driver Adam Morris of Reeds, MO, passengers Dakota Dallas of La Russell, MO, and Andrea Hobbs of Carthage, MO. Dallas was asked to step out of the vehicle, he was detained and placed in the patrol vehicle.

The officer made contact with Morris and asked if there was anything in the vehicle that he needed to be aware of, Morris stated some marijuana. 








Upon search of his person, the officer found a loaded firearm magazine with live ammunition. 

Once a Jasper County Deputy was on the scene, Morris was detained and placed in the deputy's patrol vehicle. Hobbs was then asked to step out of the vehicle so that a probable cause search could be conducted. 

Underneath Hobbs's seat was a .380 caliber unloaded handgun that came back stolen out of Alabama. A .22 caliber, loaded, ready to fire rifle was found in the floorboard of the vehicle, and .9 grams of a crystal-like substance commonly known as methamphetamine was found on the floorboard where Dallas was sitting.

The vehicle was released to Hobbs's aunt and Hobbs was released at the scene. Morris and Dallas were transported to the Jasper County Detention Center. Due to both Dallas and Morris having prior felonies state charges were sent.

Dallas is being held on a no bond for his parole violation. $10,000 cash-only bond for unlawful possession of a firearm, and possession of a controlled substance.

Morris is being held on a $10,000 cash-only bond for unlawful possession of a firearm, two counts.

Freeman enables MSSU radiology students to complete clinical competencies

(From Southern News Service)

With every major, there are certain criteria that must be met in order to be eligible to graduate.

For the 10 seniors in Missouri Southern’s radiologic technology program, that includes completing their clinical rotations and competencies through area hospitals – a task thrown into doubt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As seniors, our students do eight-hour rotations throughout the semester,” said Alan Schiska, director of MSSU’s program.








The rotations allow students to gain invaluable, hands-on experience and to put theory into practice through competencies that demonstrate their knowledge in areas such as X-ray, patient care and a variety of procedures. Students at MSSU do their clinical rotations through Mercy locations in Joplin and Rogers, Ark., and Freeman Health System.

“Each hospital does things a little bit different,” said Schiska. “It gives students a strong background in the different ways of doing procedures.”

As the pandemic’s spread in the U.S. worsened in March, healthcare locations around the country had to re-evaluate student access for precautionary reasons.

“We were definitely worried,” said junior Janelle Brehm, who is slated to graduate from the program in May. “I have friends in other programs that (had competencies) canceled and worried they wouldn’t be able to graduate this semester.”

Brehm said not being able to complete her competencies would prevent her from taking her board exams, which had been scheduled for May in Springfield.

During spring break, those concerns became more real when the program was notified that safety concerns had caused the Mercy hospital locations to suspend students’ clinical rotations.

“When the virus first started spreading in the U.S., it didn’t seem as big of a deal as it became,” said senior Levi Jacks, who is also set to graduate in May. “When we learned we couldn’t go to Mercy anymore, we weren’t certain what would happen.”








Those worries were quickly alleviated with a call from Lesa Deardorff, director of radiology services at Freeman Health System.

“The first question from her was, ‘Is this going to impact their graduation?” said Schiska. “They were able to work with us to balance concern for our students’ safety and their ability to graduate.”

Freeman allowed all of the Missouri Southern seniors to complete their clinical competencies, regardless of where they had been doing their rotations.

“Although these are difficult times for many hospitals, we know that the clinical training of medical professionals is a key part of the learning process,” said Deardorff. “For possible future employees, clinicals ensure they are adequately equipped for the job.

“This is also important to make sure that these future healthcare professionals can graduate and become part of our medical community where they are certainly needed.”

Through Freeman’s assistance, all of the seniors were able to complete their competencies by the end of March and remain on track for graduation.

“It was a big relief to not have that uncertainty,” said senior Stephanie Coyle. “It meant a lot. It definitely shows the heart of Freeman, their commitment to the community and our students.”

Webb City High School senior accepted to U. S. Naval, Air Force academies

(From the Webb City R-7 School District)

Webb City High School is proud to announce that senior Wyatt Hodson has been appointed to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado and also the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Wyatt is the son of Matthew and Rebecca Hodson.

The application process for the Military Academies began during the junior year when Wyatt attended the Summer Seminar at the Air Force Academy. From that experience, he was sure he wanted to begin the application process.

To apply, Wyatt wrote dozens of short answer responses and essays, received recommendation letters from a variety of teachers and coaches, and performed well on many challenging physical exams. Missouri 7th District Congressman Billy Long selected Wyatt for appointment for both academies. He has chosen to become a cadet at the US Air Force Academy and will be recognized at a ceremony in June.








At Webb City High School, Wyatt has been an impressive athlete and a scholar. He is an Honor Diploma student, taking and excelling in rigorous classes and earning AP Scholar recognition. He has been a leader on the baseball field, serving as captain this year and playing with the championship team his junior year.

In the past four years, he has played on the high school, summer, and fall club teams. Last year, he was selected to attend Missouri Boys State. Currently, he is vice president of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) and president of National Honor Society. He was part of the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce’s Tomorrow’s Leaders Today. He participates in community service in our school’s PALS, Hi-Step, and Link Crew programs as well as basketball and baseball camps.
