Dade County search warrant execution leads to two arrests on felony warrants



(From Dade County Sheriff Ryan Robison)
On June 9, 2026, the Dade County Sheriff’s Office—assisted by the Cedar County Special Response Team (SRT)—executed a search warrant at a residence located at 307 East Oak Street in Everton, Missouri. The warrant was issued for the purpose of locating two individuals wanted on active felony warrants.

One of the individuals located at the residence has a documented violent criminal history, including prior offenses involving weapons and assaults, which increased the risk level of the operation.


Two individuals were taken into custody without incident:

Robert Noel Rickman – arrested on an active Lawrence County felony warrant for Burglary 2nd Degree and Felony Stealing.

Jennie Boyd – arrested on an active Newton County felony warrant, as well as an active Dade County misdemeanor warrant.

Both subjects were transported to the Dade County Jail for booking.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Cedar County Special Response Team (SRT) for their assistance and professionalism throughout this operation. Their support contributed to a safe and successful outcome.

All subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
