On 2/26/24 at approximately 1900hrs, the Bates County
Sheriff's Office received information from a property owner approximately 4
miles east of Adrian on 18 Highway in reference to observing a male subject
caught on a security camera wandering around on the property. When Deputies
arrived on scene they conducted an area canvas.
Approximately 1/4 mile from the initial location a Deputy
located a heat signature on his vehicles thermal imaging camera that is mounted
on the spot light. As the Deputy stopped to investigate what the image was, a
male subject stood up and began to flee on foot. The Deputy gave chase on foot
until the subject jumped into a large pond area.
For obvious safety reasons the Deputy did not chase him
through the pond. A short stand off in the pond and the Deputies convinced the
subject to exit the pond on his own. The subject was taken into custody and
transported to the Sheriff's Office where he was placed in jail on his No bond
Probation Parole warrant for failing a drug test and failing to report to his
parole officers.
During a search of the subject, Deputies located
methamphetamines in the pocket of his pants. Charges are pending for the
fleeing from an officer and the possession of drugs.
The subject identified as Rodney C. Bennett of Harrisonville
Missouri is being held on his no bond warrant.
