Joplin woman charged with 3 counts of endangering the welfare of a child

A 9 a.m. August 26 arraignment is scheduled for a Joplin woman charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

According to the probable cause statement Alicia O. Vader (DOB 1997) was arrested following an investigation into a report of a child seen waving a knife in a window.

Officers were dispatched to 120 (1/2) N Moffet Ave Joplin, Jasper County, MO 64801 in reference to a Juvenile Information.

Prior to arrival dispatch advised Officers the reporting party stated she observed a young child in the
window of the residence above waving a large knife through the window. She attempted to contact a
parent or guardian of the child, but was unsuccessful.

Upon arrival Officers contacted J1, (9 year old female) J2 (4 year old male), and J3 (3 year old male).

All three juveniles were covered in dirt and bug bites. They were walking around barefoot inside the
residence stepping in animal feces. There was stacked up trash in the kitchen thad had flies flying around it.

The bedrooms for the juveniles were unsanitary due to the animal feces on the beds, and old food laying on the floor. During the police contact J2, and J3 began eating stale cereal off the floor of their bedrooms. There were large knives laying out in the open uncovered. 

The bedroom window where the children sleep was broken, leaving jagged glass pieces near the children's bed. The children could easily cut themselves if they grabbed the broken glass shards.

Vader is free after posting a $1,500 surety bond.

Joplin man charged with multiple assaults in Taney County

A Joplin man pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in Taney County Circuit Court Tuesday on four felony charges, second degree assault, armed criminal action, third degree domestic assault and third degree assault, and a misdemeanor assault charge.

Jeffery W. Landsaw (DOB 1966) is being held without bond in the Taney County Jail. A bond reduction hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. August 21.

According to the probable cause statement, the alleged series of crimes began with Landsaw assaulting his girlfriend August 9 at a Branson residence.

On the above date, Landsaw committed the above offenses when he assaulted his girlfriend (Victim 1) by throwing her to the ground, getting on top of her and striking her, in front of witnesses, causing injury. 

During the assault Landsaw threw a table which struck another person (Victim 2) in the knee causing pain and bruising.

During the altercation Victim 1's son (Victim 3) had entered and was trying to get Landsaw away from Victim 1 when Landsaw shoved Victim 3 away. Victim 3 pepper sprayed Landsaw out of fear that he would continue to assault him and other people. 

Landsaw left the room and went out into a common area of the complex where he got into a fight with a neighbor (Victim 4). 

Landsaw, who is in a cast, began yelling at Victim 4 when Victim 4 told Landsaw to get away. Landsaw shoved Victim 4 to the ground causing a laceration to Victim 4's back.

Landsaw struck Victim 4 in the head and face with his casted arm causing an additional laceration to his nose and bruising to his forehead. Given the use of the casted arm to strike Victim 4 in the head, it was being used as a dangerous instrument.

There were several witnesses inside the room during the initial confrontation and numerous that witnessed the altercation outside between Landsaw and Victim 4.

Landsaw was read his Miranda Rights but did not wish to speak with me.

Landsaw made several comments while in custody, such as: "I'm a terror down there", "you saved a lot of assaults by taking me away", "I'm not sticking around, I'm leaving" (while en-route to jail), "Thank you for taking me to jail. If another little gay one spurred me on, I'd beat his f---ing ass. I know that's a criminal offense, but ... ), to name a few.

Landsaw has a past conviction for domestic assault out of Joplin PD.

Grand opening, ribbon cutting held for Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center at MSSU

(From Missouri Southern State University)

 Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) students lined the grand staircase of the Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center on Aug. 13 to celebrate the facility's grand opening and ribbon-cutting alongside community members, university leaders and the building's namesake, former U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt.

The grand opening marks the completion of a transformational facility designed to prepare students for careers in the rapidly evolving healthcare field.

"We envisioned a facility that would support powerful, immersive learning experiences for our students—combining advanced technologies with the mentorship of outstanding faculty," said MSSU President Dr. Dean Van Galen. "Now, in the Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center, students will be immersed in a range of engaging spaces throughout the building—from teaching and research labs to an expanded cadaver lab to a simulation hospital spanning an entire floor of the building."

"What you have here today with this new building is the possibility to learn innovative ways to do things. But more importantly, think about the thousands of people that the average graduate here with a degree, that allows them to be part of healthcare, will impact the lives of in a positive way," said Roy Blunt, retired U.S. senator.

The center features a simulation hospital, which includes spaces such as a neonatal intensive care unit, labor and delivery, acute and critical care, as well as X-ray and CT scan suites. The facility also includes an expanded cadaver laboratory, virtual reality simulation capabilities, advanced health science technology, modern classrooms and laboratories, and collaborative study spaces.

"This facility will transform the way our students learn, giving them the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to succeed in today's rapidly evolving healthcare environment," Van Galen explained.

The center's development began nearly five years ago after then-Gov. Mike Parson challenged Missouri's four-year universities to propose capital projects that would be truly transformational. MSSU responded with a vision focused on health and life sciences, immersive learning experiences, and global education.

The project broke ground in April 2024. In March 2025, MSSU celebrated the center's topping-out ceremony with Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe. The facility has since supported the expansion of MSSU's health and life science programs, including the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and a new undergraduate degree in medical imaging, with certificates in sonography, CT and MRI.

The center also houses the Missouri 3D Printing Center for Precision Health, featuring medical-grade 3D printers that support student and patient education and partnerships with healthcare providers. Additionally, the Welcome Center serves as a new "front door" to campus, housing Admissions, Global Education, meeting spaces and a coffee shop.

The center is named in honor of Roy Blunt, who represented Missouri in the U.S. Senate and advocated for higher education and healthcare initiatives across the state. The facility recognizes his public service and contributions to higher education and healthcare in Missouri.

Planned Parenthood begins offering in-clinic abortions in Springfield

By Anna Spoerre 

Missouri Independent

Abortion access in Missouri continues to expand under the constitutional amendment voters approved in 2024 — less than three months before they’ll be asked to undo it.

The latest expansion is in Springfield, where Planned Parenthood began offering in-clinic procedural abortions Thursday. Just a few weeks earlier the clinic began prescribing abortion medication, returning abortion access to the Missouri Ozarks for the first time in 21 years.

The Springfield clinic will offer procedural abortions up to 12 weeks into pregnancy, Planned Parenthood Great Rivers said in a press release. 

Krissy Durant, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which operates the clinic, said appointments are already fully booked for this week. For now, the clinic will offer both medication and procedural abortion appointments every couple of weeks, she said, but that is subject to change as clinic staff work out a longer-term schedule.

Prior to July, Missourians in the area had to drive hours to reach a Planned Parenthood clinic where they could end a pregnancy. Reproductive rights advocates point to limited paid time off, childcare access and lack of transportation as barriers to accessing abortion outside a person’s hometown.

“After decades without abortion care nearby, we have seen patients right here in Springfield, and they are relieved to find the care they need within reach of where they live,” Dr. Margaret Baum, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, said in a statement. “We know abortion care is on the line in Missouri, and that’s exactly why we are expanding. We won’t back down. We are standing proudly in solidarity with our patients who want, who need, and who voted for access to abortion care.”

The Springfield clinic is the fourth Planned Parenthood in the state to offer in-clinic procedures after Missourians passed a constitutional amendment in 2024 protecting abortion up to the point of fetal viability. Planned Parenthood clinics in Kansas City, Columbia and St. Louis restarted procedural abortions in 2025. 

Missourians getting abortion pills by mail from out-of-state providers quadrupled since 2023

All four clinics, along with the Planned Parenthood in Gladstone, offer medication abortion following a June court ruling that struck down dozens of abortion regulations challenged under the 2024 amendment.

The judge in that case upheld only a few of the challenged abortion regulations, including a requirement that patients meet with a doctor in-person before being prescribed medication abortion and a requirement that only physicians can perform abortions. Durant said these laws affect Planned Parenthood’s ability to offer more appointments at this time.

Planned Parenthood officials have advocated for patients’ ability to choose which abortion method is best for them. 

Medication abortion is the most common method for ending a pregnancy in the U.S. It typically involves taking mifepristone — which in Missouri must be administered at a clinic — followed later by misoprostol. The Food and Drug Administration has approved the regimen for use through 10 weeks of pregnancy. 

Procedural abortions, which can be performed later in pregnancy, take place in-clinic using various methods and are completed much faster than medication abortion.

This November, Missouri voters will decide whether they want to reinstate an abortion ban. The proposed constitutional amendment, which will appear on the ballot as Amendment 3, would ban the procedure with limited exceptions for survivors of rape and incest and for medical emergencies. It would also write a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, already prohibited under state law, into the state constitution.

Mark Alford: President Trump is delivering lower prices, safer streets

(From Fourth District Congressman Mark Alford)

Folks, the July inflation report is sending a message — and the message is clear: President Trump’s economic agenda is working.

Prescription drug prices fell 0.8%, gas prices dropped 2.9%, and auto insurance costs fell 0.3%. Real wages are rising, and we’re seeing relief on everyday staples like eggs, poultry, and dairy.

This is what happens when promises are made and those promises are kept. Lower costs, stronger wages, and more money in the pockets of hardworking American families.

The policies are taking effect, and we’re seeing the results.

Violent crime is dropping

Violent crime is dropping across America — and it’s not by accident.

Homicides are down 17.2%. Robberies are down 16.6%. Rapes are down 6.2%. Aggravated assaults are down 5.7%.

Strong leadership works, folks. President Trump is delivering safer streets for the American people, and it’s showing up in the numbers.

This is what happens when we put law and order first.

Joplin woman charged with felony after leaving 7-year-old in car in 96 degree heat

The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed an endangering the welfare of a child charge against a Joplin woman who allegedly left her 7-year-old son in the car for 20 minutes during 96-degree heat Tuesday.

Jazlan Ashae' Frencher (DOB 2001) is free after posting a $25,000 bond, according to court records.

Her initial appeaarance is scheduled for 9 a.m. August 26 before Judge Nicole Marie Carlton.

From the probable cause statement:

On 08/11/2026, at 2426 S Maiden Ln, Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri, I have probable cause to believe
that Jazlan Frencher committed the crime of Endangering the Welfare of a Child 1st Degree.

On the above date and at the above location, Jazlan left her seven-year-old son, JV1, in a non-running
vehicle by himself in the Wal-Mart parking lot for approximately twenty minutes before I removed him from the vehicle.

Jazlan had exited her vehicle and gone into Wal-Mart around 06:21PM, leaving JV1 in the vehicle. 

Alison Marie Carter called Dispatch around 06:39PM advising that JV1 had shallow breathing and that she could not open the doors. I arrived in the parking lot and was able to fit my arm into a partially open window to get the door open. I removed JV1 from the vehicle around 06:42PM.

Alison Marie Carter advised that when she located JV1 he appeared lethargic and had shallow breathing. When she asked him if he was okay, he could not respond to her. She was able to get him a bottle of water, at which point he was able to respond to her.

During the time of the incident, the current outside temperature was around 96 degrees Fahrenheit and there was an "Extreme Heat Warning", according to my DHWX weather app. The vehicle was in an open parking area where there was no shade. 

Jazlan exited the store and was taken into custody around 06:55PM.

Joplin attorney sues former Carl Junction police officer for battery

A Joplin attorney is suing a former Carl Junction police officer for allegedly assaulting him during a November 12, 2025 child paternity meeting.

In the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in Jasper County Circuit Court, Terence Prigmore claims Bradley McDaniel (pictured) punched and kicked him and stomped on him during the meeting, which was held in Prigmore's office.

The two-count lawsuit claims McDaniel committed battery and was negligent.

Prigmore is represented by Scott Vorhees of the Joplin firm of Johnson, Vorhees and Martucci.

From the petition:

On or about the 12th day of November 2025 in the Prigmore Law Office at 2727 E. 12th Street in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri, plaintiff Terence Prigmore was the court-appointed mediator in the paternity action styled Alicia A. Michaael vs. Bradley P. McDaniel pending in the Circuit Court of Jasper County, Missouri, Case No 24AP-FC00163.

The parties in the paternity action had arrived. The mediation process had commenced when defendant became angry and argumentative, shouting curse words, and then did physically and violently repeatedly strike Plaintiff's face and person with defendant's fist, and throw Plaintiff against the walls of the room in which the mediation was being conducted, and further kicked and stomped Plaintiff, who lost consciousness during the course of the attack.

The conduct of defendant and the physical battery of Plaintiff constituted the intentional offensive bodily contact of Plaintiff.

The aforesaid battery of Plaintiff directly caused or directly contributed to cause severe and substantial injuries to Plaintiff's body and mind.

Plaintiff has directly incurred substantial expenses to and for past and future hospital, physician, pharmaceutical, radiographic and other medical care and treatment. Plaintiff has further sustained past and future loss earnings and loss of earning capacity.

The aforesaid battery of Plaintiff was not only intentional but outrageous due to the evil and malicious intent of defendant, and with a depraved heart.

The intentional battery and infliction of injuries were further evil and wanton because they were inflicted with the purpose and intent of interfering with and improperly influencing the due course of the administration of justice while Plaintiff was serving as the court-appointed mediator in the pending paternity action against defendant.

The evil and wantonness of defendant's intended actions is further demonstrated by the conduct of defendant immediately following his battery of Plaintiff, in which defendant claimed to be the victim, defendant attempted to intimidate and influence the statements of a witness to the assault, and when a law enforcement officer arrived on scene defendant attempted to sway the officer's perception of events by stating defendant was an officer of the law, too.

The Joplin Police Department arrested McDaniel after the incident and the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office charged him with first-degree assault- special victim. He was bound over for trial in January. The case is being prosecuted by the Missouri Attorney General's office. No trial date has beens scheduled.
