Sheriff Bob Wells and Prosecutor Andrew M. Curley presented a check for the sum of $1,003.93 to Dent County Treasurer Denita Williams on May 11. The funds are to be placed into the general revenue fund for Dent County and were collected resulting from the arrest and prosecution of James D. Walker for unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
In addition to the criminal conviction, the seizure and sale of the firearms is authorized by Missouri law as a punishment and deterrent to persons that illegally own/possess firearms. This money will be used for the benefit of the local community.
