EMPHASIS: Fredericktown Resident Arrested On Sodomy Charges



Kenneth L. Tomlinson II, 42, of Fredericktown, Missouri, was arrested by members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol on January 5, 2010, shortly after midnight. Tomlinson was arrested for multiple counts of sodomy, and was transported to the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff’s Department pending formal charges. Prosecution will be conducted by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office.
The charges for which Tomlinson was arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
