Stone County deputy suspended without pay A Stone County deputy has been suspended without pay after
being arrested in Georgia on two counts on two counts of
sexual battery. Lucian James Nevatt, 24, Nixa, was in
Georgia recently for U.S. Army Reserve annual training.
Richmond County (Ga.) Sheriff’s Office investigators claim
Nevatt was in an Augusta (Ga.) bar on the night of June 15
and early-morning hours of June 16 when he allegedly tried –
in two separate incidents – to force two women to have sex
with him in a public restroom. Following a complaint from
one of the two women, Richmond County officers arrested
Nevatt later on the morning of June 16 at his Augusta hotel.
The second woman filed her complaint later than the first.
Nevatt was arrested again on June 17 on a second charge of
sexual battery. Sexual battery is a misdemeanor charge in
Georgia. Richmond County authorities released Nevatt after
he posted bond. Military authorities reportedly returned him
to Missouri. Penindg further investigation results, Stone
County Sheriff Richard Hill suspended Nevatt without pay and
reported the incident to the state’s Peace Officers
Standards and Training (POST) unit in Jefferson City. To

Local property owners displeased with developer’s plan About three dozen Stone County property owners turned out
for a recent local public meeting to tell a Kansas City-area
developer they’re not interested in what he’s peddling.
BACKGROUND
Developer Jim Grice, an attorney and a partner in SJ Branson
Development, LLC, owns about 150 lots in the upscale Ozark
Mountain Village subdivision off Route DD.Grice’s lots are
not in a single cluster, but, rather, are scattered
throughout OMV.For three years running, Grice has sought
state tax credits from the Missouri Housing Development
Commission in preparation for an attempt to build low-income
rental housing on at least 48 of the approximately 150 lots
he has situated among the upscale OMV homes.
Generally, MHDC holds one annual round of public hearings to
consider citizen input before approving tax-credit
applications like the one Grice submitted prior to previous
efforts to build the low-income OMV housing. Grice applied
three consecutive years.
He was denied three consecutive years.
