Columbia standoff suspect has lengthy criminal history; arraignment set for 1 pm

November 14, 2023 By Brian Hauswirth

Missouri’s Probation and Parole Board is expected to revoke the parole of a Columbia man who barricaded himself inside a home on Monday for six hours before surrendering.

Columbia Police have arrested 28-year-old Ronald Powell on multiple warrants. Online court records indicate he was released from prison earlier this year, and is currently on parole for numerous felonies, including resisting arrest, stealing and possession of a controlled substance.

ABC-17’s Nia Hinson from our news partner KMIZ reports Powell was wanted on 11 felony charges when he was arrested. The Columbia Police Department’s SWAT and crisis negotiation teams responded, and Ms. Hinson reports police also used gas and drones during the standoff.

Powell is charged with several felonies for an August incident where he’s accused of grabbing kitchen utensils and hitting a woman with them. The Columbia Police Department’s two-page probable cause statement says Powell then allegedly grabbed a knife and threatened to stab the victim. Court documents indicate someone’s mother walked in during that incident and protected the victim. Powell will be arraigned via video on those charges this afternoon at 1, before Boone County Judge Stephanie Morrell.

939 the Eagle News has contacted the Missouri Department of Corrections to see if Probation and Parole has issued a warrant from yesterday’s incident, and we will update the story when they respond.

Two former Missouri Department of Corrections employees face decades in federal prison for graphic child sex crimes

November 8, 2023 By Brian Hauswirth

A former Jefferson City Correctional Center (JCCC) officer and his wife will be heading to federal prison for the next 30 or 40 years, after admitting they videotaped their sexual assault of an unconscious four-year-old child.

Federal prosecutors say 35-year-old Paul Schofield and his wife, 30-year-old Sara Schofield of Jefferson City, have pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to produce child pornography and one count of producing child pornography. Sara Schofield also worked for the Missouri Department of Corrections until her arrest.

Federal prosecutors say Paul Schofield “was active in the child pornography trading community.” Authorities also say the FBI also found videos of infants being sexually assaulted on Paul’s phone.

The investigation started when law enforcement received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Columbia’s Brotherton sentenced to 25 years for murdering her stepfather; Chrohn’s disease a major issue at sentencing

A Columbia man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing his stepfather, after an emotional eight-hour plus sentencing hearing where the victim’s family was deeply divided.

Boone County Circuit Judge Joshua Calvin Devine has sentenced 23-year-old Samuel Brotherton to 20 years for second degree murder and five years for armed criminal action for discharging a weapon while intoxicated. Brotherton will get credit for 579 days that he’s served in the Boone County jail. By pleading guilty to second degree murder in August, Brotherton admits killing his stepfather Rollin Thompson in March 2022.

939 the Eagle News was in the courtroom for Friday’s marathon sentencing hearing, which began at 9 am and went past 5 pm.

During the sentencing, Missouri Assistant Attorney General Tristin Estep played Brotherton’s 911 call to Columbia Police that night. Family members in the courtroom sobbed as Brotherton told the dispatcher that night that he was drunk and shot his stepfather in the chest with a 38-special after an argument.

The victim’s sister, Connie Sample, testified on Friday and criticizes Samuel Brotherton, telling him the murder was cruel and violent. Assistant Attorney General Estep also read a short letter from the victim’s 85-year-old mother, who says Samuel Brotheron was lazy and lived off his parents. The elderly mother calls Brotherton a disgrace. However, the victim’s wife and Samuel’s mother, Amy Thompson, disagrees. She sobbed at the witness stand, telling Judge Devine that her husband would be heartbroken to see the family as divided as they are now. She describes her son Samuel Brotherton as kind, loving and sweet, saying he is bi-polar, mentally ill and suffers from serious Chrohn’s disease. She says he drank because of serious pain from that disease.

Ms. Thompson also told the judge that her son had been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility at one time. The mother says Samuel’s Chrohn’s disease caused pain throughout his life, saying he has ulcers in his colon and that he is sorry for what he’s done. Brotherton’s Chrohn’s disease was a major point at the hearing. Judge Devine has added a docket entry for the Missouri Department of Corrections, saying Brotherton’s Chrohn’s disease is severe and ongoing and that a board-certified doctor testified in court that Brotherton will likely need the care of a specialist to treat his Chrohn’s disease in the future.

Boone County Sheriff’s deputies are expected to transport Brotherton to prison this week.
