Sheriff Bob Wells and Prosecutor Andrew M. Curley on Nov. 18 presented a check for the sum of $495 to Dent County Treasurer Denita Williams to be placed into the general revenue fund for Dent County. The money results from the seizure of firearms and prosecution of Timothy A. Burnham II, for an arrest that occurred on Nov. 26, 2024, involving unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. In addition to the criminal conviction, the seizure is authorized by Missouri law as a punishment and deterrent to persons that commit a criminal offense. This money will be used for the benefit of Dent County’s government.
