The initial court appearance for a Webb City woman facing misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated and endangering the welfare of a child is scheduled for Monday in Jasper County Circuit Court.

The Highway Patrol arrested Rhonda K. Glover, (DOB 1968) following an accident the evening of July 17 on MO 171 north of Ivy Road.







From the probable cause statement:

Troop O radio advised the vehicle, a gray 2006 Honda Odyssey traveled off the right shoulder and struck multiple MoDOT signs. l began traveling to the crash location. 

Upon my arrival, I noticed a vehicle with moderate front end damage in a ditch. I was approached by a Jasper County Sheriff's deputy who advised me the driver was in another vehicle. I re-located to where she was and spoke with her. 








The driver identified as Rhonda K. Glover who advised she was taking her granddaughter camping at Zan's Creekside Camping Ground. in Joplin. Missouri. While speaking with the driver. I noticed her eyes were watery. bloodshot, glassy and the odor of intoxicants emitting from her person. 

I asked Glover to submit to a series of field sobriety tests. It was apparent Glover was intoxicated. Glover advised she had been drinking throughout the day and was smoking marijuana hours prior to the crash.
