The suspect was taken into custody on the warrant and was incarcerated pending a court appearance. Later that morning at about 1:46, a vehicle was stopped for a traffic violation.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announced that hunters checked 3,698 turkeys during Missouri’s fall firearms turkey season, October 1st through 31st. Last year’s fall firearms turkey harvest total was 6,158. Top harvest counties for the 2016 fall firearms turkey season were Greene with 128, Franklin with 96, and Wayne with 92. In Dent County, a total of 53 birds were harvested while Texas County had 61 birds taken. Crawford County had 54 birds harvested while Phelps County had 51 birds taken. MDC’s turkey biologist says this year’s low fall firearms turkey harvest total can be attributed to several factors, including a poor turkey hatch, above-average acorn production, and a decline in hunter participation. In addition to the effects of a poor turkey hatch and above-average acorn production, interest in the fall firearms turkey season has been declining in Missouri as it has in a number of states. This year’s fall firearms turkey permit sales total of 11,696 permits was the lowest on record since the season started in 1978. Fall archery turkey hunting continues through November 11th and then resumes again from November 23rd through January 15, 2017.
