A Joplin man with four DWI convictions has been charged in Newton County Circuit Court with driving while intoxicated following an April 20 traffic stop by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The felony charge against Jerry Edward McCammon, 60, was filed Thursday.
From the probable cause statement:
On April 20, 2026, at approximately 0901 hours, I was advised of a single vehicle crash involving a driver with open alcohol containers. I arrived at approximately 0917 hours and observed a black Kia Sorento in a ditch. The driver was identified as Jerry E. McCammon, a 60 year-old male from Joplin, Missouri.While speaking with McCammon, I observed an open Bud Ice can in the center console, smelled a strong odor of intoxicants, and noted his slurred speech, bloodshot watery eyes, and unstable balance.
McCammon admitted to consuming multiple alcoholic beverages throughout the night and stated he had
consumed a beer and a shot approximately 30 minutes prior to my arrival.
consumed a beer and a shot approximately 30 minutes prior to my arrival.
Tow truck driver XXXXXX stated he saw McCammon operate the vehicle, and that after attempting to assist him, McCammon drove the vehicle into the ditch. McCammon was unable to complete field sobriety testing and exhibited poor coordination, swaying, stumbling, and falling backward.
Based on his impairment, I placed McCammon under arrest for driving while intoxicated at 0924 hours. He was advised of his Miranda rights and later consented to a breath test. After proper observation, McCammon provided a breath sample at Freeman West Hospital, resulting in a blood alcohol concentration of .229%.
McCammon's previous DWI convictions were posted on the complaint.

If you really want to be disgusted with our legal system follow this case on case.net and see what he gets in the end. The "punishment" is pretty light around here. I sincerely pray they prove me wrong.
Republican led DOJ is destroying America. Their legal system is defined by political retribution, slush fund for traitors, a lifetime of relief from tax audits for the sleeping orange fuhrer, and special treatment for loyal magats. If you want to complain about the local judicial system, keep in mind that its an entirely maga led catastrophe. If you voted for this, don't blame independents or dems. We told you this would happen and it's your fault.
Caught five times. Doesn’t count the number of times he got away with it.
It would be great if the powers that be would post all comments and not what they would like to include or exclude, since if you want to offer a fair and free debate it should include all of them, not just one side or the other, but similar to a debate, each side presents their arguments, their research, and their facts and thoughts, especially since a blog either generates debate or not and if you are trying to monetize itself, if not you just have articles like the rest and with over 600 million estimated blogs globally across all niches, there is a lot to choose from!
534 classic blue anon drivel, as if every single large **** hole city isn't ran by democrats and is suffering from decades of "tolerant" and "progressive" leadership where criminals continually get off with a hand slap.
You all are an actual joke and Trump is living rent free in your tiny little heads.
Also, Trump is a joke as well, before any low IQ individual comes in with a very clever "PPPP MAGAT Malarkey!"
It's his name on the top and that's why he gets to decide what to post and what to delete.
I bet things are 100% different on your website or blog or whatever you have. Total freedom!
Maybe you can post the address so we can stop by and check it out?
