SCHUYLER COUNTY, MO. -- "The case would probably not result in a conviction." That was the word from Schuyler County Prosecutor Scott Summers, after he dropped charges against Tri-County Electric General Manager David Ramsey.
Ramsey had been charged with a misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property. That charge was in connection with the alleged theft and destruction of a petition protesting the electric co-op's decision to construct a new building.
Earlier, Terry Miller, a Tri-County employee, had been found not guilty on a misdemeanor theft charge in connection with the same case.
Summers told KTVO, if he had been prosecutor at the time the case was brought to the prosecutor's office, he probably would not have filed the charge.
