A question

for police

I have a question regarding the arrest of a gentleman in Van Buren from a Ripley County warrant for assaulting a police officer.

Why is it he could be arrested but a man who absconded with money from several different people and he could not be arrested. I would like an answer to that question. Thank you.

Contradiction

of city policy

Funny thing!!! According to the city of Poplar Bluff Farmers Market rules, everything sold has to have been raised or produced within a 50 mile radius of Poplar Bluff. However, the city has no problem sending our tax dollars out of the city to St. Louis for an attorney (even though we have about 60 here in town), hiring a grant writer from Texas, Insurance Brokers from St. Louis/London, England, and a Financial Planners from New York . . .

So much for protecting our local folk (except for tomatoes, watermelon & corn!!).
