The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed felony charges against a Neosho brother and sister following a confrontation at their home Friday.
Theresa Morrison was charged with resisting arrest with bond set at $10,000 surety.
The events leading to the charges began when a Neosho police officer saw Theresa Morrison sitting on the front porch, and realized she had active warrants.
From the probable cause statement:
I responded to the area, made contact with Ms. Morrison and advised her that she had an active warrant. After allowing me into the residence, Ms. Morrison refused to exit the house, while Mr. Marcus Morrison stated, "We're going to sue you; you're harassing her."
I escorted Ms. Morrison to the front door of the house where she reached into her bra and pulled out a clear bag filled with a white crystal-like substance. She then immediately began resisting by pulling away from me and attempting to twist her wrists out of my grip.
After removing her from the house, she continued to resist despite multiple commands for her to stop resisting or she would be charged with resisting.
Ms. Morrison's dog bit my left shin during this struggle. I released Ms. Morrison, drew my taser and advised her to get on the ground. She refused and was tased, causing her to fall to the ground.
When she fell, her brother ran over to her and picked something up, stating, "She has seizures." He then ran back inside the house and locked the door.
Mr. Morrison was pursued by two Neosho Police officer back into his residence where he resisted and assaulted both officers by kicking them. During this struggle in the house, Ms. Morrison's dog bit another Neosho police officer, drawing blood.

Casenet OMG!!!!!!
All she had to do was walk into her home and close the door. An arrest warrant does not apply to the domicile. A separate warrant is needed to enter a home. NEVER invite the police into your home.
Hey 9:44, how about NEVER commit a crime?!
I doubt that would work. There is a thing called fleeing a police officer.
That’s not how it works Matlock, depending on the severity of the charge, they may not choose to come to the home. They don’t need a separate warrant, just the warrant to arrest!
Fresh pursuit. And officer can go in after the suspect without a search warrant
Judge: "Was there any probable cause to suspect the defendant was in the house?"
Prosecutor: "The officer saw her enter the house."
Judge: "That ain't how this all works! Book her!"
Wouldn't be an issue had she not allowed him in. Overzealous storm soldiers bothering people chilling on their own property.
Also looks like nothing on Mr. Morrison, who appears to have not committed a crime.
Hopefully these two don't end up disappeared to El Salvador.
That's a fact!!! Nice to see someone that knows wtf they're talking about. More people should learn their rights & less bs like this would happen. Ijs
