HARRISONVILLE – Today, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office received official word from the Missouri Department of Public Safety that we have earned the Missouri Blue Shield designation for 2026.

This honor recognizes Missouri communities that demonstrate their commitment to enhancing public safety, investing in and supporting law enforcement and building partnerships between law enforcement and our community.

The Missouri Blue Shield Program was created by Governor Mike Kehoe in January 2025 through Executive Order 25-03.

“The Blue Shield program has shown what’s possible when communities commit to prioritizing law enforcement and public safety,” Governor Kehoe said. “After awarding $50,000 grants to more than 200 communities last year, we’re continuing that work by welcoming new communities and renewing Blue Shield designations for counties, towns, and cities that remain committed to the program.”

“We are honored to receive the Missouri Blue Shield designation and grateful to the County Commission and our community for their continued support of public safety. This recognition reflects a shared commitment to investing in law enforcement, strengthening community partnerships, and working together to Keep Cass County Safe for everyone,” said Sheriff Jeff Weber.

On this National Peace Officers Memorial Day, we’d like to pay tribute to law enforcement members who made the ultimate sacrifice.

This year, Cass County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Hizey was in Washington D.C. for the National Law Enforcement Memorial Candlelight Vigil.

363 fallen officers were honored, bringing the total to 24,775 names engraved at the memorial.

One of those names is Cass County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Kevin Mayse, who passed away in line of duty on June 13, 1995.

Cpl. Hizey, who has spent four years in the Cass County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard, got a picture of Deputy Mayse’s name engraved at the memorial in Washington D.C.

Our hearts are always with each fallen officer and their loved ones.

Those lost in the line of duty will never be forgotten.

Man Charged with Drug Trafficking After Investigators Seize 86 Pounds of Methamphetamine

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Cleveland, Mo. man was charged by criminal complaint after investigators seized 86 pounds of methamphetamine.

Russell D. Kircher, 41, was charged in a one-count criminal complaint with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

According to an affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint on May 4, 2026, investigators of the Missouri Western Interdiction and Narcotics Task Force (MOWIN) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Kansas City Interdiction Task Force (KCITF) were working at the “sort” at a UPS center when they identified a parcel being shipped from Los Angeles, Ca., to Cleveland, Mo. Investigators observed the parcel to be consistent with attempted concealment of illegal drugs and obtained a search warrant for it. Investigators opened the parcel and observed an orange-colored FIFA HOME DEPOT bucket. The bucket contained approximately 22 pounds of methamphetamine.

On May 5, 2026, an undercover investigator delivered the parcel to the delivery address in Cleveland, Mo. Investigators obtained a search warrant from the Cass County, Mo. Circuit Court. Kircher was arrested and investigators recovered approximately 2.24 grams of methamphetamine and a glass pipe from Kircher’s person.

After obtaining another search warrant, investigators searched Kircher’s property and located a large plastic tote, approximately six to eight inches deep in the ground, containing 27 sealed packages of methamphetamine, weighing approximately 62.88 pounds.

In total, investigators seized approximately 84 pounds of methamphetamine.

The charges contained in this complaint are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Jennings. It was investigated by the Cass County, Mo. Sheriff’s Office, Cass County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, DEA Kansas City Interdiction Task Force, and Missouri Western Interdiction and Narcotics Task Force.
