EMPHASIS: Carthage Resident Arrested On Stealing Charge


Amy L. Harrison, 46, of Carthage, Missouri, was arrested by troopers with the Missouri State Highway Patrol on January 25, 2010, at approximately 5:00 p.m. Harrison was arrested for one count of felony stealing and transported to the Jasper County Jail in Carthage, pending formal charges. Investigation into the theft was initiated on August 26, 2009, by the Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control at the request of the Carthage Police Department.

The charge for which Harrison was arrested is mere accusation and not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty it is to determine guilt or innocence.
