"NO EVIDENCE OF IMPAIRMENT" SAYS JPD

  • Uninjured driver of SUV identified as Mark Rohr, former Joplin city manager

The crash involved a Ninja Motorcycle and a white SUV. Donald Kidwell III of Galena, KS was operating the motorcycle. He was transported to an area hospital where he later died of his injuries.

The driver of the white SUV was 58 year old, Mark Rohr. Rohr is Joplin's former city manager who left his position with the city in February 2014.

Captain Trevor Duncan tells Joplin News First exclusively, “No evidence of impairment with the driver of the SUV. Mr Rohr is a private citizen who is no longer employed by the city of Joplin”

#JPDIncidentSpotlight Obituary

We remember when you were born at the fingertips of a tweet by Chief Matt Stewart.  At times you were snarky.  You showed no shame in blasting names and addresses and charges of felons.

You were just 132 days old but you grew so quickly.  Some called you 'clickbait' but what were people clicking on?  A chance for police to build a relationship with a new generation of Joplinites.

You told me about a naked man on the corner of 4th and Main - Joplin News First drove by that cold night and realized George Costanza had something in common with that man.

You told me about murders, people on the run, fleeing suspects and informed my family to keep us more safe and secure.  But who wants safe and secure!?!?!

But now you are gone I can wear my rose colored glasses. Joplin crime is gone.  Joplin meth is gone.  The opiate epidemic and problem is gone.  Babies don't die at the hands of mommy's boyfriends.  And Michigan Place Apartments is a gated and wonderful condo community!  #jpdincidentspotlight #joplinpd #joplinnewsfirst

City of Joplin LEAF PICK-UP Schedule Begins Monday After Thanksgiving

(64801/64804) -- The City of Joplin will start the annual residential leaf pick up program on November 27th , the first Monday after Thanksgiving, weather permitting.

To address all areas of Joplin, the City utilizes three crews which start in outlying areas and work their way toward the center of Joplin. A crew from the Street Department will start in the northeast section of town (Royal Heights/College View Addition areas) and another crew will start in the Silver Creek/Highlands/Woodland Hills area. The Parks Department crew will start south of 32nd Street and west of Main Street. Crews will work toward the middle of town to complete the program.

Weather permitting, this collection could take over one month.

 Residents are reminded not to bag their leaves, but rather rake them to the curb. No tree limbs, brush or rocks should be included in the piles, please. The City asks that residents DO NOT rake leaves into the street, as they may clog the storm drains, and it could cause the City’s street sweeping truck to bypass that area. Please do not place leaf piles over water meters (manhole covers). Doing so may cause Missouri-American Water to estimate your water usage, instead of recording the exact amount for billing purposes.

For residents who wish to dispose of leaves year-round, bring them to the Joplin Compost Facility next to the Turkey Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant at 3457 Eddy Lane, which is west of the intersection of Eddy and North Peace Church Avenue. Please remove leaves from trash bags and take trash bags with you. No brush, tree limbs, bags, or trash, please.
