We want to clear up some confusion regarding recent reports about Austin Drummond. There have been no confirmed sightings of him in the Caruthersville area. What we’ve received are a few calls suggesting he might be in the area, but nothing has been verified at this time.

Our department is actively looking into every lead, and we’ll continue to keep the public informed if anything changes.

As always, if you see something or have credible information, please contact any local law enforcement agency. You can contact the Caruthersville Police by calling 573-333-2121/The Pemiscot County Sheriff’s Office at 573-333-4101.
