Arrest in Rossville Sat. Night

From the Rossville Police Dept.

February 10th, 2018 near US 24 & Main in Rossville just before midnight. The on-duty Rossville Officer witnessed a pickup truck with illegal tags driving through town. The vehicle was stopped and drug paraphernalia was visible in plain sight. Further investigation revealed additional drug paraphernalia in the vehicle. The pickup was found to have never been registered by the driver, no proof of insurance was available, and the illegally displayed inactive tag was from the previous owner. The suspect was found to be a Fugitive from Justice out of Missouri for 2nd Degree Burglary and Failing to Register a Vehicle. A Shawnee County Sheriffs Deputy responded to assist as a back up officer. The suspect was arrested and transported to the Shawnee County Jail where he awaits extradition to Missouri. In addition he faces multiple misdemeanor drug and traffic charges in Rossville Municipal Court. The tag and paraphernalia were seized as evidence and the vehicle towed away by a wrecker service.
