Springfield Police Department

Ken Scarlette has been in charge of the department for three years.

A shooting took place near a fast food drive-thru Tuesday night.

Officials say the various investigative techniques will target individuals who are actively involved in, or associated with, firearm-related violence in Springfield and surrounding counties.

Three juveniles were taken into custody Sunday.

The accident left a woman hospitalized.

The case started in April 2019 when officers responded to the 1600 block of north 7th Street for a report of a male down inside of a residence.

Telley Palmer, 29, died after being shot 12 times early Sunday.

Chief Ken Scarlette met with families of those hurt in the accident that resulted in a former Springfield sergeant being charged with aggravated DUI.

The arrest follows an accident Thursday that left two people on a motorcycle seriously hurt.

Additional charges could be filed after toxicology results are available.
