Captain Sarah L. Eberhard, director of the Division of Drug and Crime Control, announces the arrest of Glenn C. Head for the murder of William L. Bacon.

On Tuesday, December 11, 2012, troopers with the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control arrested Glen C. Head, 59, of Novelty, Missouri, for second degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with the death of William L. Bacon, 67, of Novelty, Missouri. The arrest is a result of a shooting that occurred in rural Knox County near Novelty, Missouri, on Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Head has been formally charged by the Knox County prosecuting attorney, and is being held currently at the Adair County Jail on a $250,000 cash only bond.
