On Monday Cass County Sheriff Jeff Weber testified at the State Capital in Jefferson City on important legislation that will help us keep Cass County Safe.
House Bill 1620, sponsored by Representative Jeff Shawan, Poplar Bluff, seeks to make resisting arrest by fleeing in a vehicle, a felony, each and every time, not just when someone is injured or killed. This legislation will help keep career criminals off the streets.
“I would like to thank our local Representatives, Jack Bondon, Mike Haffner and Donna Pfautsch for co-sponsoring this bill. They are true friends to public safety and provide common sense leadership at the Capital for their districts,” Sheriff Weber said.
