Incident Reports:

July 01 LCSO began investigation of a county resident reporting a former boyfriend was sending out revenge video/photos of very personal and discrete photo/video taken when the 2 had been dating.  This is a felony allegation and we are seeking arrest warrant on the Kansas City area suspect who is already wanted in other jurisdictions on other allegations.

July 06 about 11:50 a.m. LCSO was dispatched to the 2000 block of Highway DD, Ludlow for a domestic disturbance.  Investigation resulted in the arrest of Quentin Blake Bassett, 27 for alleged Trespassing 1st degree and Domestic Assault-4th degree and the arrest of Claudia Beth Auer, 44, Ludlow for alleged Domestic Assault-4th degree.  Both were processed at the Law Enforcement Center and released pending Court appearance.

July 11 at 12:25 a.m. LCSO was dispatched to Dawn Apartments on report a pickup and tree were on fire.  The vehicle had been parked and sold pending pickup and without insurance.  For unknown reason(s) the front area of the pickup caught on fire and the vehicle was a total loss.  Dawn Fire was first to respond.  Missouri State Fire Marshall was informed about the incident.

July 17 LCSO was advised a vehicle had been stolen from rural farm sometime since June 01, 2022.  Investigation revealed the vehicle was parked on a different farm in Wheeling area.  After speaking with all persons involved this was deemed a civil matter without criminal intent.  The vehicle was turned over to the reported victim's family.

July 19 at 9:55 p.m. LCSO was at a residence in the 11000 block of Old Highway 190 to serve an eviction notice and also look for a felony fugitive.  Investigation shows a deputy observed the wanted male inside the home prior to knocking.  A female answered the door and blatantly lied to the deputy about the fugitive being in the home and having not seen him in quite some time.  The two deputies requested a CPD officer(s) assist and deputies then entered the residence and found the man trying to hide behind some furniture.  Deputies arrested Jordan Christopher Riggins, 33, on Livingston County arrest warrant for alleged Failure to Obey a Judge's Order on original class E felony of Hindering Prosecution as Mr. Riggins allegedly had not contacted Supervision Services upon release from jail on bond for this charge previously and was arrested for new allegation of felony Resisting Arrest.  Deputies also arrested Alisha Linette Cheeney, 42, for alleged Hindering Prosecution.  Ms. Cheeney was processed at the LEC and released pending formal charges and Mr. Riggins was transferred to DDRJ in lieu of bond.  Mr. Riggins also had an outstanding Parole Warrant from the State of Missouri for original Possession of Controlled Substance and this office will take Mr. Riggins to the Department of Corrections at first opportunity.

July 20 LCSO received report of a stolen yellow in color heavy duty 100' extension cord from the victim's property.  Investigation continues.

July 22 LCSO took a report of a stolen bicycle from a location in Wheeling.  The bicycle is a Giant brand with "gooseneck handlebars" and new tires.

July 25 LCSO received information of a lost or stolen license plate.  The information was entered into the nationwide law enforcement system.

Evening of July 25 LCSO responded with Department of Emergency Services to a residence on Highway 190 and found an adult male deceased in the home.  LCSO initial inspection of the scene raised questions on potential cause of death and Sheriff Cox requested assistance from the MSHP Division of Drug and Crime Control with dissecting the scene and investigation.  The deceased male may have been in the home since July 22, 2022.  The body was released to the corners office and an autopsy has been scheduled.  Investigation is continuing.  Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family and loved ones.

Evening of July 25 LCSO assisted the Chillicothe Police on a missing juvenile investigation.  The LCSO and CPD officer located the person at a location in Utica.
