EMPHASIS: Suspect In Officer-Involved Shooting Identified



On March 9, 2010, officers from the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol shot and killed an armed suspect, after that person led officers on a pursuit and then fired a weapon at the officers.
The suspect has been identified as Patrick L. Greer, 29, of Ft. Worth, Texas. Contact with Greer was initiated on the morning of March 9, 2010, by the Cuba Police Department and the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department in Cuba, after the U.S. Secret Service had notified the Cuba Police Department that Greer may be in the area and that felony warrants had been issued for his arrest from the state of Texas. The felony warrants issued for Greer were for assault, a drug violation, and engaging in organized crime.
