The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a felony driving while intoxicated charge Friday against a Neosho man who has five DWI convictions.
An arrest warrant was issued today for Michael Eugene Grissom (DOB 1982) who is to be held without bond.
From the probable cause statement:
On December 5th, 2025, I, Police Officer Shadrack Scheppert, was dispatched to Love's Travel Stop, 12009 E Highway 86, which is within the city limits of Neosho, in reference to an assist.Neosho Police Officer C. Snyder had located an individual that he believed to be operating a motor-vehicle while intoxicated. Officer Snyder explained he located a male in a vehicle, slumped over, with an empty air-duster can in his lap. He stated he believed the male was currently under the influence of the contents of the air-duster.
I responded to the area and identified the male as Mr. Michael Grissom. While speaking with Mr. Grissom, I smelled a faint odor of an intoxicating substance commonly identified as alcohol, coming from his breath.
Mr. Grissom refused to perform any standardized field sobriety tests (SFST).
Officer Snyder advised me that while inventorying Mr. Grissom's vehicle he located multiple other empty cans of air-duster.

5??? How did he get away with it?

Why do you say he's getting away with it?
He's already been caught and convicted five times, and caught a sixth time!
Dude is a menace
11:56 yet he is still out huffing, drinking and driving. He apparently needs a much longer sentence than he has received thus far. Maybe 5-10 years may help him sober up and dry out. He definitely needs some serious intervention, before he kills an innocent person.
I say we give him 15 cans of dusters...if he does all 15 and survives, no charges, and if he dies, no charges?
Michael Eugene Grissom, is a menace to Society send him to Jail for a decade or more, before he ruins or kills someone. Why don't we either ban people from driving permanently or give them extremely limited driving privileges if Michael Eugene Grissom would ever qualify to get his license back - let's stop treating these people with slaps on the wrist, probation, etc., - Judges and Persecutors - DO YOUR JOBS.
I wonder what the success rate is for repeat offenders. The Neosho man who killed a man and granddaughter in their yard picking up their mail, was caught again for DWI after his release from jail. He killed 2 people and will chose to drive drunk!
10:14 I’m wondering the same thing, I’ll make it clearer for some of the commenters below.
Why was he released why did they have to issue a warrant, they had him…..
