Warrants Issued After Pursuit in Vernon County

Two warrants for the arrest of George P Buhlinger, 34 of Rockville, Mo was issued by the 28^th Judicial Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon for a D Felony charge of resisting arrest, and a B Misdemeanor charge of Exceeding the Posted Speed Limit by 20-25 MPH. According to a press release from the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, a Deputy attempted to stop Buhlinger on 43 highway Monday afternoon when Buhlinger began running. The tags on Buhlinger’s car did not come back to that vehicle and items were being thrown out the window as the car continued south on 43 highway. The vehicle went off the road just south of Moundville where it overturned and landed upside down in the ditch. A passenger was detained at the scene by Sheriff’s Deputies and Buhlinger was transported to Freeman Hospital. “The passenger was released later in the evening after he was checked out at the Nevada Regional Medical Center” said Sheriff Mosher. Mosher said he could not release the name of the passenger but did say he did not sustain any injuries from the accident. Buhlinger, who was released from prison about a week ago was also on probation and parole.

Sheriff Mosher said the Missouri State Highway Patrol was called out to work the accident portion of Buhlinger’s pursuit and said more charges may be coming “we applied for and received warrants for resisting arrest and speeding, but I expect there will be more charges coming from the Highway Patrol” said Mosher.
