Cherokee County Sheriff K-9 assaulted, Riverton couple arrested during search warrant execution

(From the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office)

A Riverton couple is in custody following a brief incident Sunday afternoon.

Cherokee County Sheriff's Deputies went to a residence to serve felony narcotics related arrest warrants on Adam C. Evans, which had been previously issued by the Cherokee County District Court.

While attempting to serve the warrants, Evans, age 36, and 35-year-old Shayna Nichole Wittenmyer, fled from the home into a nearby wooded area.

Law enforcement, including a Sheriff's Office K9 Team, pursued Evans. Upon the K9 attempting to subdue Evans, he struck the K9 with a blunt object. A short time later, Evans was apprehended.

In addition, Wittenmyer was taken into custody.

Both suspects are currently in the Cherokee County Jail. Wittenmyer is being held on suspicion of interfering with law enforcement and Evans is being held without bond on allegations of Aggravated Battery Against a Law Enforcement Officer, Obstructing Justice, Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer and the outstanding arrest warrants..

"Despite being struck and having a bump on his head, as of this morning, the K9 seems to be in good spirits and is enjoying his regularly scheduled day off with his handler," according to Sheriff David Groves

Prairie State Park to hold Guided "Bisontennial" Hike

(From Missouri State Parks)

Prairie State Park invites the public to attend its Guided ‘Bison-tennial’ Hike at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 11. Fall is almost here and the prairie is reaching its full height. Some grasses and wildflowers are more than 8 feet tall and it would be possible to overlook a bison in such vegetation.

Participants are encouraged to bring their cameras and binoculars, and should also bring water, snacks, a hat and sunscreen. The hike is a 2-mile hike over uneven terrain; sturdy shoes are recommended. Dress for the weather, but shorts are not recommended.

Registration is required and the hike is limited to 25 participants. Those interested, should call 417-843-6711 to register.

Due to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park, pets are not allowed on park trails. This regulation protects both you and your pet, as bison graze freely in the park. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park’s campground and picnic area but must follow Missouri State Park’s pet rules found at mostateparks.com/page/55057/pets. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities.

The public is strongly encouraged to follow social-distancing guidelines and be proactive in protecting themselves and others.

This is one of many events Missouri State Parks is hosting to commemorate the state's bicentennial. To see a complete list of bicentennial-related events and learn more about the commemoration, visit mostateparks.com/bicentennial.

Prairie State Park is located at 128 NW 150th Lane, Mindenmines in southwest Missouri. For more information, contact Prairie State Park at 417-843-6711.
