(From the Dade County Sheriff's Office)On March 2, 2026, around 4:30 PM, deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person in Dadeville, Missouri. Deputies first contacted the individual near the Dadeville Cemetery, where he refused to provide identification. Deputies later confirmed he had an active felony warrant out of Greene County, Missouri, and was listed as armed and dangerous.
Deputies made a second contact with the subject near Dadeville High School, where he again refused commands. The subject was not on school property but was near the roadway adjacent to the campus.
Deputies worked to move him farther away from the school to ensure the safety of students and staff.
A short time later, deputies located the subject a third time on W Highway, just east of Dadeville. During this contact, the subject displayed what appeared to be a handgun and refused repeated verbal commands. As the subject pointed the weapon toward deputies, law enforcement fired several shots, striking him. The weapon was later determined to be a non‑functional replica modified to resemble a real handgun.
The subject was transported to a hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Cedar County Sheriff’s Office assisted on scene. Lawrence County, a member of the Sheriff’s Critical Incident Team (SCIT), conducted the investigation.
We understand incidents like this are concerning. Our office remains committed to transparency and will release additional information as allowed by law.
All subjects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
If the subject failed to recognize himself or obey commands multiple times - HOW MANY TIMES - Does it take for Barney Fife and Gomer - to realize that this person may be a Criminal, Wanted, potentially looking to Commit a Crime and on Top of that - lose the subject at least 2-Times - - did they Stop for Lunch - if I lived in Dadeville - I would think Twice about the Level of Competence these Deputies have to handle situations that people's lives may be in Danger. Do they need to go back to the Police Academy, take another On-Line Course or Watch a Cop Movie for them to understand the importance of follow-thru?

ReplyDelete7:36AM, Skin Tone - doesn't have anything to do with this situation - Criminal Activity - does - You either obey the Laws, or you do not - - When will the Leftist Liberal Democrats - STOP - Defending People that Break the Laws?
ReplyDelete10:56 where was any remark made concerning a “leftish democrat” in this article or any comment? Are you unable to read a news article without immediately making assumptions? Maybe begin by rereading slowly, then taking your time to comprehend what you read. Obviously this individual was mulling a confrontation with the police officers during the three different incidents, before deciding to go for suicide by police officers. Unfortunately for him, his attempt was unsuccessful.
DeleteIt all comes down to was he given lawful orders or just orders by a blue flame cop, just because cops speak to you doesn’t mean you have to acknowledge them…
