Judge orders Joplin man held without bond on federal weapons charge


During a detention hearing held this morning in U. S. District Court in Springfield, Judge David P. Rush ordered a Joplin man held without bond while awaiting trial on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The charge, which was filed earlier this month stems from a July 15 incident in which Clayton Flowers (DOB 1993) allegedly dragged a woman into a house, kicked her numerous times and threatened to burn the house down.








The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed kidnapping and domestic assault charges against Flowers.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Flowers barricaded himself inside his residence with a .22 caliber firearm.

    What a Piece of Crap - Clayton Flowers, needs to spend the next 30-Years, in both state and federal prison, locked up and off the streets, so Society doesn't have to deal with him.

    Hopefully his victim recovers from this Bastards, vicious attack.
