Members bigfish1259 Posted February 24, 2015 Members Posted February 24, 2015 In the early morning hours of Jan. 26, 2015, a Springfield, MO. police officer on patrol noticed suspicious activity behind a business that had closed for the evening. He called for backup, and Officer Aaron Pearson and another police officer arrived at the scene to assist their fellow officer. Police investigators believe Officer Pearson was shot by a man who has four convictions for resisting arrest or assaulting a law enforcement officer. Officer Pearson suffered what Police Chief Paul Williams referred to as "career-ending injuries." He is listed in serious but stable condition at a Springfield hospital and has a long road of rehabilitation ahead of him. Aaron is 30 years old, married and has two children. Employed by the Springfield Police Department (SPD) for three years, Pearson received a SPD commendation in 2014 for a methamphetamine investigation. Officer Pearson is originally from Blue Springs, MO – east of Kansas City. Both his father and father-in-law are retired law enforcement officers. Come join us April 19th at Mill Creek Ramp on Table Rock Lake for a great cause, Lots of great prizes and the Rogersville and Hillcrest Bass Clubs will be selling hot dogs, soda, and chips for donations to the family...
