Local law enforcement seeking public assistance on solving cases
Crime is on the upswing since the weather is warming, and local law enforcement officials are asking for the publics help in solving some of the misdeeds taking place in the community.
In Monett, counterfeit bills are once again circulating, with $100 denominations being passed most often.
According to Det. Melissa Phillips, with the Lawrence County Sheriffs Office, a bogus $100 bill was also passed at Caseys General Store in Miller.
Thefts and burglaries have really picked up in the last few days, Phillips said. Catalytic converter thefts are up again. We have a suspect and his vehicle on video at a church in Mt. Vernon. We also have a guy who is stealing vehicles, who is connected to similar events in Strafford. He has hit the old Miller School off Hwy. UU twice. We ran the plate on the suspect vehicle, and it came back as stolen from out of Strafford.

Lombard: I will do my best to bring justice
Stuart Lombard, former patrolman with Cassville Police Department, has been tested and passed to become the new detective, taking over the position vacated by now-sheriff Danny Boyd.
Dana Kammerlohr, Cassville Police Chief, said before his new role as detective, Lombard was the administrative assistant, patrolman and evidence tech.
He is now the Cassville PD Detective, she said. We opened the position up in-house to see if there was any interest, and we had one applicant Stuart Lombard.
Lombard was then tested for investigations, which he was able to study for for six weeks.
