The Linn County Prosecuting Attorney, Shiante McMahon, reports one man was sentenced and another was found guilty in court on September 6th.
Twenty-three-year-old Kaleb Brooks of Loudon, Texas was found guilty of the felonies of first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, and first-degree property damage. He was sentenced to 10 years with the Missouri Department of Corrections.
McMahon said that Missouri law classifies first-degree assault as a dangerous felony, and Brooks will serve eight and a half years before being eligible for parole.
Twenty-four-year-old Cory Scott of Laclede was found guilty of fourth-degree child molestation. His sentencing is scheduled for November 8th.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office investigated the cases of both Brooks and Scott.
