Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker dropped the charges against Allen T. Bloodworth, the owner of Private Party Impound, because Brad Lemon, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 99, appeared to threaten Bloodworth in the audio recording.
Lemon called Bloodworth on June 15, 2019, trying to get an impounded car owned by his family released without proper paperwork. Bloodworth refused, and Lemon reminded him that he was once investigated for felony property crimes.

If Jean Peters Baker cared about criminals as much as the two cops she hates (Lemon and Smith), KC would have a lower crime rate than Lone Jack. Seriously, the Star just needs to give her a column since she has a new police issue every week and as yet, nothing ever comes of it. What a failure she is.
