During a hearing Sept. 10, 2012, in Polk County Circuit Court, Bourne admitted he violated his probation on a 2006 felony tampering charge by assaulting a law enforcement officer and being intoxicated.
Though a motion to revoke Bourne's probation and send him to prison for five years was filed, no hearing was ever held. Polk County records show that during an October 1 hearing, Judge John Sims ruled that Bourne's probation would be continued with the same conditions.
Before the month was out, court records indicate, Bourne had violated his probation two more times.
Though there is no mention in the Polk County online records of what the violations were, but it would appear that at least one of the violations occurred just one week after Judge Sims' decision when Bourne was charged with two counts of domestic assault.
On Nov. 5, a warrant was issued for Bourne's arrest and his bond was set at $60,000. Three times revocation hearings were scheduled and three times they were postponed. In the middle of that time, Judge Sims retired, throwing another monkey wrench into the works.
The motion to revoke Bourne's probation was withdrawn and on Feb. 8, the $60,000 bond was posted. His probation ended March 4.
Shortly after that, the assault charges against Bourne were reduced from felony to misdemeanor; he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in jail on each count with the sentences to run concurrently.
Missouri Department of Corrections records show Bourne is on probation for the domestic assault charges, as well as assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.
As this was written, the search continues for Adrianna Horton.

except now, of course, miss Horton's body has been found. And it appears that the miscarriage of justice that allowed this evil person to remain in society has far more tragic ramifications than anyone had imagined.
I wonder how the Polk County jurisdiction feels now that they are responsible for the death of an innocent 12 year old girl. How many other cases of slow justice are molding in our court system.

Do you blame the fire when you burn your bacon??? Wake up! This JA should spend some time in a chair of electric fingers. He is a sick person that does not deserve to live on gods earth. And in any event Bobby D did not do this the person who did shall rot as well!
