On Monday, April 5, 2021, at 12:05pmCT, Adair County Sheriff's Deputy Derek Padgett observed a 2005 black Tahoe operating on Bliss Road. The vehicle's operator was believed to be wanted on several felony warrants, and was also believed to be in possession of a firearm that was stolen from Adair County in a prior case.
