The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney filed multiple charges against a Mount Vernon man following an alleged road rage incident that began in Lawrence County and continued into Jasper County.
An arrest warrant was issued and bond set at $25,000 surety or $3,000 cash for Alvin Alfred Reid (DOB 1972, who is charged with felony counts of possession of a controlled substance and harassment and misdemeanor counts of driving while intoxicated and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The case was investigated by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office.
From the probable cause statement:
On 02/23/2024 I, Deputy Deras #350 was dispatched to incident location 1 in regards to a possible road rage incident with shots fired.Due to the seriousness of the call several units responded and a felony stop was conducted on Suspect 1. Once detained an investigation was conducted and it was determined an assault may have taken place in Lawrence County which they would respond to our location and investigate.
While waiting I spoke with Victim 1 who stated no contact between vehicle happened within Jasper County but suspect 1 “rammed” his vehicle in Lawrence County and continued to follow them aggressively caused him emotional distress making him fear for his life and that of the of his juvenile children present in the vehicle as well.
Both juveniles who were identified as Victim 2 and victim 3 also clearly visibly distraught crying very loudly in clear emotional distress.
Once I finished speaking with victim 1 a plain view search was conduct of Suspect’s 1 vehicle and a glass pipe with white residue and burn marks was observed in a cup holder within reach of the driver seat where suspect 1 was located when stopped. Since Suspect 1 was the sole occupant of the vehicle a probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted.
During the search a small plastic baggie containing a clear crystal-like substance suspected of being methamphetamine was located on the floorboard of the driver side again within reach of the driver being suspect 1. Suspect 1 was advised of their Miranda Rights at approximately 1013hrs.
When asked when the last time he consumed methamphetamine was he stated “right before I got into the car” meaning just before following victim 1.
When asked how much he had consumed he again stated “just a couple of hits."
Suspect 1 was then transported to the Jasper County Jail for further processing. Once at the Jail he was informed of implied consent and denied any further cooperation. The suspected controlled substance was weight and showed to have a weight of .36grams with the packaging included. The substance will be sent to the Missouri Highway Patrol Lab for further confirmation.
