In a joint operation with Henry County Sheriff’s Office, Detectives set out to identify the subjects in the truck and match them with multiple surveillance camera footage. During this time, multiple citizens called Detectives with information about the owners of the truck and last known location of them. Several times the Sheriff’s Office received calls about the area of the truck but when deputies arrived the truck had fled the area.
On 11/28/2022 at approximately 930 AM a K9 unit received a call from an observant citizen who led the Deputies to the area of where the truck was located. Once in the area deputies were able to get the vehicle stopped and the two subjects inside taken into custody. The driver was arrested for Felony Driving While Revoked.
The passenger was identified as Hannah M Briggs of rural Archie Mo was released after posting bond on $250 traffic warrants.
The Detectives and Deputies from Henry County Sheriff’s Office and Bates County Sheriff’s Office began looking for the known associate of the above two people. At approximately 3:30pm a Detective patrolling the area observed the third person driving down a gravel road. The Detective made a traffic stop on the vehicle he was driving. That subject was identified as Joshua E Brown of Holden, Missouri.
Josh Brown has been charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance-Methamphetamine, Unlawful use of Paraphernalia, Failed to register motor vehicle and operating a motor vehicle with no insurance. His bond was set at $50,000.00 cash only set by the Honorable Judge Highley.
Both Brown’s and Gamblin’s vehicles were towed from the scene.
The theft investigations with Henry County and Bates County are ongoing and additional charges are being sought by law enforcement to each county’s respective Prosecuting Attorneys.
"This is a great example of Law Enforcement working together with our citizens and each other to stop rural thefts in our counties. We could not be successful without the great relationship we have with our citizens." Says Sheriff Anderson
