The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney filed felony harassment and terrorist threat charges against a Joplin man who caused a lockdown at the Neosho Post Office November 1.
According to the probable cause statement, Zachary Earl Weaver (DOB 1985) called a post office employee and said he was going to shoot him and "shoot up the Neosho Post Office."
After the call, all doors were secured and no one was allowed to enter unless allowed by law enforcement.
The postal employee continued to receive messages throughout the morning from Weaver, who said he was planning to take his own life and that it was the postal employee's fault, the probable cause statement said.

You have to take every threat today as a potential danger to yourself or the public. Zachary Earl Weaver, needs to be locked up for his and others safety. Thought Newton County is handling this - this Threat is considered a Federal Crime.
Threatening a postal official is considered a federal crime in the United States because postal workers are considered federal employees, and interfering with their work through threats falls under federal law, specifically under 18 U.S. Code § 876, which covers mailing threatening communications.
Newton PA is too busy covering his buddies.
Alan/David don’t you have better things to do than to slander other officeholders?
I bet this goes nowhere, and will wrap up in 2026, our court system is broken
