Felony charges dismissed against JB's Downtown owner

Judge John Nicholas dismissed 16 felony charges of filing false sales tax returns and failing to pay sales tax against Joplin business owner Jon Buck this morning in Jasper County Circuit Court.

According to online court records, the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office said a deferral agreement, which indicates the defendant agrees to fulfill certain requirements, had been reached in exchange for charges being dismissed against Buck, the owner of JB's Downtown.



It would appear the two sides have been working on the agreement since Buck was bound over for trial May 15, 2017 and no trial date was ever set.

The probable cause statement said that Buck had failed to pay $78,595.28 in sales tax between December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2016.

He doesn’t own JB’s and hasn’t for some time. Nice accurate reporting.

Unbelievable, he is such a loser. It doesn't matter what he owns or where he goes... his bad reputation follows. I never stepped foot into JB's and I won't ever darken his door on 7th.

This little piss ant is a menace to Joplin, he is socialist punk. He needs his punie ass kicked out of Missouri. His mommy and grand mommy have bought and paid for everything thing he has started.
