“I wish the best for Officer Priebe and his family as they move forward from this tragedy. We are once again reminded of the danger law enforcement officers face every day. In March, Officer Christopher Walsh was killed and Officer Josiah Overton was injured in the line of duty. I’m incredibly proud of how my hometown police department has not only responded to these tragedies, but how they respond to the challenges they see every day. We are a stronger, safer community because of what they do.”

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A PRESS RELEASE SENT TO OZARKS FIRST BY THE SPRINGFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT:

On June 9, 2020, at approximately 9:30 a.m. officers were notified of a white male at the front entrance of Springfield Police Headquarters (321 E Chestnut Expressway) causing a disturbance and urinating on the front door. Officers contacted him and asked him to leave.

He then got into a white SUV, drove away, then circled back through the parking lot, heading toward the front entrance of Police Headquarters.

He accelerated directly toward the officer who was standing in front of the building. The officer attempted to get out of the way, but it appears the driver intentionally struck the officer who became trapped under the vehicle. The vehicle continued forward with the officer still trapped and struck a concrete bollard.

A second officer yelled at the driver to stop and get out of the vehicle and when he refused and continued to drive forward, the officer fired shots striking the suspect and stopping the vehicle.

Both the officer and the suspect were sent to the hospital to be treated for their injuries.
