The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office dropped child endangerment charges against a Neosho couple who allegedly left their grandchild in the car in the Neosho Walmart parking lot during 100 degree heat in August 2025.
According to a KSN report, the charges were dropped against Billy Joe Powers (DOB 1969) and Staci Deanne Williams (DOB 1969) after a witness suffered a medical issue and was unable to recall details of the incident.
The allegation against Powers and Williams was detailed in the probable cause statement:
The reporting party called in stating that she had found a child left in a vehicle that was not running and had its windows rolled up. She advised that the child was not responding, so she checked the vehicle and discovered it was unlocked. Upon opening the door, the child did not respond to her, so she called 911. The temperature at this time was 100 degrees
