Maries Sheriff’s Corner #1 for January 2, 2012The Maries County Sheriff’s Office had a very productive year in 2011. We had 20,253 calls for services. A call for service is logged anytime some contacts the Sheriff’s Office in need of a Sheriff’s Deputy, EMS, or Fire Personnel. We investigated a total of 1,218 reportable incidents in 2011, and the Maries County Jail booked a total of 449 inmates. We were able to update our fleet of patrol vehicles, and add a K-9 Unit to the Sheriff’s Office. Being fiscally conservative at the Sheriff’s Office I was able to end the year with over a $20,000.00 surplus. Even with the small tax increase the Sheriff’s Office still operated with less funds then what was used for the Sheriff’s Office in 2007. The tax increase allowed me to keep our 911 system operating and kept me from laying off any current Sheriff Deputies. I appreciate everyone who supported the tax increase, and the Sheriff’s Office in general. Click here to read more on Pulaski County Daily News ...By Sheriff Chris Heitman | Write Comment
DIXON, Mo. (Nov. 5, 2011) — A Friday night head-on crash near the Fox Crossing area southwest of Dixon injured one passenger in each car and totaled both vehicles but left their drivers unscathed. According to Missouri State Highway Patrol reports, Gary S. Chapman, 42, was driving a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier southbound on Highway 133 at 7:25 p.m. about three miles south of the city limits when he crossed the center line, partially travelled off the left side of the roadway, and struck a northbound 2000 Pontiac Grand Am head-on driven by Clyde J. Quick, 64. Neither Chapman nor Quick were hurt, but Chapman’s passenger, Christine M. Stewart, 43, suffered moderate injuries and Quick’s passenger, Sue Manes, 49, suffered minor injuries. All four are from Dixon. In unrelated incidents reported by state troopers, Yani L. Edwards-Rigby, 36, and Zaccheus J. Rigby, 22, both of St. Robert, were arrested on charges including vehicle tampering; Teddie R. Ries, 54, of Waynesville, was arrested on drunk driving charges; and William G. Berkshire, 23, of Richland, was arrested on numerous outstanding warrants including drugs and drunk driving.

 Richard Sinden Fleeing Dixon motorcyclist had many warrants for not showing up in courtDIXON, Mo. (Nov. 4, 2011) — Most traffic checkpoints conducted by Waynesville and Saint Robert police end quietly with few incidents, but a Dixon motorcyclist created considerably more work for Pulaski County sheriff’s deputies on Saturday morning when he made a U-turn on his Yamaha and fled the checkpoint near the Gasconade River with three reserve deputies in pursuit. Sheriff J.B. King reported Monday that Richard Allen Sinden, 23, drove into the checkpoint area on Cave Road and Highway O on Saturday, but when the deputies signaled him to stop, he fled north on Highway O. When he appears before judges this week and next week, he’ll be seeing judges who have wanted to see him for some time. Sinden has numerous outstanding arrest warrants for failure to appear in court on various drug and traffic charges dating back many years in Pulaski County, Camden County, and the city of Bourbon.
