Internet cafe crackdown in Marion: 2 arrests and lots of closed doors
The Star-Banner visited multiple cafes during the day and found most of them shuttered. That included the Blackjack Arcade on U.S. 301 in Summerfield, which was operating up until Monday evening. But then it got busted about 6 p.m., and two employees were arrested and accused of violating the ordinance.
The Marion County Sheriff s Office, which pushed for the ordinance, provided the Star-Banner with a list of names and addresses for cafes that until very recently had been in business. More than half are located in south and southeast Marion.
A 67-year-old Boonville woman is facing a felony charge after she was allegedly the driver of a vehicle involved in a fatal crash on June 14 in Cooper County.
According to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a motorcycle, driven by 59-year-old James Brandl, of Boonville, was traveling northwest on Missouri Highway 87 when it was struck by a northwest bound SUV, driven by Karen Lynn Gately. Brandl died from his injuries. Gately was not injured.
Based on the evidence at the scene and discussion with a Highway Patrol Major Crash Investigator, it was discovered Brandl was in front of Gately. Gately closed on Brandl, and her vehicle crossed partially over the center line and sideswiped Brandl’s motorcycle. Brandl was ejected off his bike and onto the roadway. Gately’s vehicle crossed back over the center line, ran over Brandl, traveled off the right side of the roadway and struck a guardrail face.
