A Marion County man, 38-year-old Chancey M. Wilson of Flippin, has been charged with a felony count of assault on an officer, after he allegedly kicked a member of the Bull Shoals Police Department in the chest, while continuing to attempt to punch him. Law enforcement would later recover five weapons from inside Wilson’s vehicle, including a loaded pistol from the area where the Flippin man had been sitting.
According to a report from the Bull Shoals Police Department, the incident on March 31 began after law enforcement was alerted to Wilson being observed at the United Methodist Church “acting suspicious.”

Christmas will be a bit brighter for 12 families and 34 children thanks to the Bull Shoals Shop With a Cop and Firefighter event held earlier this month.
The Bull Shoals Police Department says in a Facebook post, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s event was held in partnership with the Bull Shoals VFW. The VFW was faced with either canceling its annual holiday party for local children or hold a virtual-style event.
With the assistance of Jess Wilkinson, the city’s court clerk, and VFW Post Commander Chuck Kinler, a drive-thru event was held at the Bull Shoals VFW Post on Dec. 12.
