Worth County Woman Charged with 3rd DWI

A Worth County woman was charged in court as a persistent offender in conjunction with an accident that occurred on March 10th, 2012. Information filed on June 3rd of this year by Prosecutor David Baird alleges that Heather Feese of Grant City committed a Class D Felony of DWI; she is being charged as a persistent offender. She had prior convictions in 2006 and 1999.

An affidavit filed by Missouri Highway Patrol trooper H. G. Vernon alleges that on March 10, 2012 on Route 46 two miles west of Allendale, he investigated a one vehicle accident. He states in the affidavit that he made contact with Feese at the Northwest Medical Center following the accident and detected an odor of intoxicants. According to Vernon, she refused to answer whether or not she would take the breath test, which Vernon interpreted as a refusal.

Bond was set for $10,000 and later reduced to $4,500;  Feese was freed on bond. Conditions of the bond include submitting to BAC tests on request of a police officer, seek employment, reside at her mother's residence in St. Joseph, not possess or consume alcohol and not enter bars, and obey all laws.
