Cass County Sheriffs Office

Suspect Rams Deputy Vehicle in Pursuit Cass Co Around 12:30 am Friday deputies with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office assisted officers with the Harrisonville Police Department involved in the pursuit of a 2005 Chevy truck on northbound I-49 north of Harrisonville. The Sheriff’s Office Criminal Apprehension Unit Deputy responded to the area with a patrol vehicle equipped with a Grappler device. Approximately one mile south of Peculiar, the deputy was able to stop the vehicl...e. The driver of the truck got out of the vehicle at which time a passenger attempted to drive away. The truck was still attached to the Grappler device preventing it from leaving. The subject then put the truck in reverse and struck the patrol car with a deputy in the vehicle, causing both vehicles to be disabled. Deputies and Officers on the scene took two subjects into custody. A passenger was questioned and released at the scene. The driver of the truck, Jeramy T. Box, 44, Kansas City was arrested on multiple Kansas City warrants and is being held pending charges related to this incident. Bailey K. Allen, 23, Harrisonville was arrested on an active warrant for Second Degree Burglary in Jackson County, bond $5500.00. Allen is also being held pending charges related to ramming the Cass County patrol vehicle. The ability to deploy the proper staff, tools, and training to apprehend criminals is essential to our mission to keep Cass County safe. In this case the suspect acted with wanton disregard towards the public and deputies safety, said Sheriff Jeff Weber.

Cass Co On Sunday October 11, 2020 around 8:30 pm the Cass County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a missing 93-year-old woman in the 17000 block of S. Reynolds Road north of Strasburg. The caller stated that his wife had gone for a walk around 5:00 pm and not returned. Deputies arrived on scene, searched several acres around the residence, and were unable to locate the missing woman. Deputies called for the assistance of the Sheriff’s Office UAV (unmanned aerial vehic...le) to search the farm and surrounding area using a thermal camera. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office uses a DJI Matrice 210 with FLIR camera that was donated in 2019 by the Sheriff’s Office Auxiliary. The UAV gives deputies the ability to search large areas quickly and the thermal cameras can see heat signatures. On Sunday, deputies used the UAV and in less than five minutes located the missing woman in a field about a quarter of a mile from her house. Deputies and EMS personnel responded to her location and found her exhausted and missing a shoe, but otherwise in good health. This is an excellent use of current technology to help our citizens. The ability to deploy a UAV in these types of situations saves time and resources, especially when time is of the essence. Every minute counts, said Sheriff Jeff Weber.
