Squires, MO. – Multiple calls from a pair of people in Douglas County to local law enforcement have led to their arrest. This happened after many of the calls were about people hiding on the pair’s property when no one was present.
According to the probable cause affidavit on the case, this began on June 5th when Ronald Jenkins and Melanie Springer, both of the Squires area, reported suspicious individuals on their property. After a search, no one was found.
