Two Thieves Arrested After Stealing Two Vehicles

Two thieves were arrested after stealing a car belonging to Jud Summers of Grant City. The thieves came in a pickup to Summers’ shop and one jumped in his car and drove north on Old 169. However, they failed to negotiate the curve north of the old Livestock Exchange building where the road turns east to meet 169 and they both wrecked.

A passerby, Glenn Hughes, saw the wreck and stopped to offer help. However, the thieves ran off north. They were subsequently seen on Donna Lynch’s property and Chris Cadle’s property north of Grant City. The Wool Shop locked down and all the employees there locked their car doors and secured their belongings. The Courthouse remained open, while the school, which has security doors, operated as normal.

The thieves crossed 169 where it meets PP and F and stole a truck belonging to Bill Wimer which was parked on Rich Wolff’s property on the old airstrip near Irena. They subsequently wrecked again near David Seat’s farm and were arrested.

The Missouri Highway Patrol arrested Alexis Adams (18) of St. Joseph and charged her with Tampering with a Motor Vehicle, Possession of Marijuana, and a St. Joseph warrant for Disorderly Conduct. She was taken to Ringgold County Jail on a 24 hour hold.

The Patrol also arrested Jeffery Jones (32) of Albany on charges of Tampering with a Motor Vehicle, Resisting Arrest by Fleeting, Felony Leaving the Scene of an Accident, and Careless and Imprudent Driving. He was taken to the Ringgold County Jail on a 24 hour hold.

On Wednesday, November 29th, Worth County Prosecutor Brett Hurst filed charges against Adams for Tampering with a Motor Vehicle, Resisting/Interfering With a Felony Arrest, First Degree Property Damage, Possession of Less than 10 Grams of Marijuana (Prior Offense), and Failure to Appear.
