MEDIA RELEASE | FELONY STEALING & FORGERY CHARGES
The Eureka Police Department has completed an investigation involving the alleged fraudulent purchase of a recreational vehicle from a Eureka business.
The investigation resulted in a 37-year-old female from Kidder, Missouri, being charged by the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office with:
• Stealing – $25,000 or More, a Class C Felony
• Forgery, a Class D Felony
The investigation involved an alleged fraudulent loan of approximately $106,460 used to purchase a 2023 Thor Motor Coach from Blue Compass RV in Eureka. The vehicle was later located in Ohio, where it was seized and impounded by law enforcement.
We would like to thank the victim, Blue Compass RV, assisting law enforcement agencies, and the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for their cooperation and assistance throughout this investigation.

It is always great to spend time with retired Eureka Chief of Police Michael Wiegand!

Chief Werges spent the afternoon with Chief Wiegand at the FBI National Academy Associates Eastern Missouri Chapter’s July meeting, hosted by the St. Louis Cardinals. Chief Werges currently serves as President of the Eastern Missouri Chapter.

More than 100 law enforcement executives representing local, state, and federal agencies attended the event. During the meeting, the Cardinals’ Security Team provided an informative overview of the extensive measures used to help keep fans, players, employees, and visitors safe.

A special thank you to the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (OFFICIAL)for their hospitality and assistance in making this event possible. We appreciate opportunities like this to learn from our regional partners and strengthen relationships throughout the law enforcement community.
