HUNTERS ENCOURAGED TO SHARE THEIR HARVEST WITH FAMILIES IN NEED
Hunters across the state of Missouri are being asked to share their harvest this fall to help feed families in need.
The Missouri Department of Conservation Share the Harvest program provides food to the hungry through deer meat donated by hunters.
Hunters can choose to give part or all of any deer they harvest. They simply bring their deer to an approved meat processor to process the venison, usually into ground meat, where it is then packaged for distribution.
Share the Harvest is a statewide partnership between MDC, the Conservation Federation of Missouri, cooperating meat processors, and hunters.
For more details on the Share the Harvest program and a list of processors participating, visit mdc.mo.gov/share.
WOMAN ARRESTED FOLLOWING PURSUIT IN STODDARD COUNTY
A woman was taken into custody over the weekend following a pursuit in Stoddard County.
According to a Probable Cause Affidavit, on November 3rd an officer observed a truck pulling a trailer with no registration. When the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver failed to yield and a pursuit ensued, reaching speeds of 100 miles per hour.
The officer said that they observed a white male driver and a female passenger in the vehicle.
The pursuit continued until the vehicle came to a stop on Stoddard County Road 420 and both occupants fled on foot into a wooded area.
While searching the area, officers located a female subject, identified as 50 year old Amie Graham, of Essex. A search of her purse revealed a set of digital scales with white residue. A field test of the residue produced positive results for the presence of methamphetamine.
Graham has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest, detention, or stop by fleeing.
