On Thursday at 2:30 p.m., dispatch received a call asking Deputies to respond to 3130 South Ingram for a suspicious person. Deputies and the MSHP responded to the scene and the male suspect could not be located. A short time later, the male was located by the Missouri State Highway Patrol on Travis Drive. The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Kevin A. Clark, ran into a nearby woodline and a perimeter was set up. Pettis County K9 Cav and Deputy Moore responded to the scene and were able to track Clark through the woods. Because of the terrain and heat, the search for Clark was soon called off. Clark is still wanted on three active felony warrants. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Clark is urged to call the Pettis County Sheriff's Office at (660) 827-0052.

On July 7 at 12:23 a.m., the Pettis County K9 Unit conducted a traffic stop at US 50 and Quincy in Sedalia. A computer check showed that the driver, Eric Swigert, was arrested for felony driving while revoked or suspended.
