Henry County Sheriffs Office:Arrested for violation of order of protection

Vincent Paul Abell, II

According to Sheriff J. Kent Oberkrom, a search warrant was served on Monday, February 23, 2015 at 414 North Maple Street, Calhoun, Missouri. The search warrant was applied for and subsequently issued by the court, after review by the prosecuting attorney that allowed law enforcement to search for the person of Vincent Paul Abell, II and a minor child at that residence.

Earlier, Vincent Paul Abell, II was served an ex-parte order of protection at his residence by Deputy Leonard Kubilus. The order gave custody of a one year old minor child to the mother, who was the petitioner on the order of protection. Mr. Abell, after being served the order of protection, refused to comply with the custody order and subsequently went into his residence, locking the door and failing to respond to several attempts by Deputy Kubilus to open the door and comply with the order.

Subsequently, a search warrant was applied for and issued by the court granting law enforcement to enter the residence and search for the person of Vincent Paul Abell, II and the minor child. While law enforcement officers were preparing to enter the residence, Mr. Abell bolted from a garage and entered the home on the back porch. Major Robert Hills, Cpl. Aaron Brown and Deputy Leonard Kubilus pursued Abell into the residence where he was taken into custody. Another adult in the home was cooperative with law enforcement and surrendered the minor child in accordance with the order of the court. Assisting at the scene was Deputy Brady Graham and Sheriff Kent Oberkrom.

Mr. Abell was charged with violation of an order of protection and failing to obey the lawful order of a law enforcement officer. Abell was transported to the Henry County Detention Center where he was later released after posting a $2,500.00 bond.
