Burkhardt (a white male born on 05- 11-93) assaulted an employee at the Dollar General located at 9047 E. 350 Highway, Raytown, Jackson County, Missouri 64133 with a knife. The employee was identified as xxx (a white male born on 08-29-90). Mr. Burkhardt waited until Mr. xxxx opened the front door, for the last customer to exit, before he forced his way into the store. An altercation took place between the two men that resulted in Mr. xxxx receiving injuries from the knife that Mr. Burkhardt displayed in his left hand as he entered the store. Mr. xxxx was able to run from Mr. Burkhardt and, with the aid of a coworker named xxxx (a white female born on 03-21-87), lock the front door from the outside; the result kept Mr. Burkhardt separate from both Mr. xxxx and Ms. xxxx and locked him inside for a short period of time. Ms. xxxx called 911 and members of the Raytown Police Department, Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services arrived to secure the scene and medically treat Mr. xxxx; he was ultimately transported to Research Medical Center. Mr. xxxxx’ s injury was listed as a puncture wound, approximately one inch in length and one inch in depth, to the area of his upper right buttock. Mr. xxxxx was kept overnight at the hospital. Ms. xxxxx eye witness account According to Ms. xxxxx, at approximately 9:05P.M, Mr. xxxxx was helping the last customer out of the store when Mr. Burkhardt came in through the front door and yelled, “I’m going to (deleted curseword) kill you!” Ms. xxxxx advised that Mr. Burkhardt and Mr. xxxx started fighting, with both of them holding the other in a headlock. Ms. xxxxx advised that Mr. Burkhardt had a knife in his hand; she described the knife as having a black blade approximately three to four inches in length. Ms. xxxxx said that Mr. Burkhardt stabbed Mr. xxxxx and they separated. She advised that Mr. Burkhardt chased Mr. xxxxx around the store until she yelled for him to go outside. According to Ms. xxxxx, she and Mr. xxxxx ran outside the front doors and locked Mr. Burkhardt inside the building.
The Suspect is caught. At approximately 2328 hours, Raytown Patrol Officer Uriel Ojeda, located Mr. Burkhardt near the Raytown Water Company water tower located in the 9000 block of Gregory Boulevard, located south of the Dollar General.
Sources for RaytownOnline.com stated that the suspect in the reported armed robbery was a former employee, who was dismissed from employment recently. They go on to state that the suspect cased Dollar General for an extended period of time from across 350 Highway before crossing to confront the manager that fired him and stabbing his former manager with a knife. Another brave young female Dollar General employee rushed the injured manager out of the store to another store to the West in the strip of shops.

At the February 19th Board of Alderman meeting, Chief of Police Jim Lynch presented Public Water District #2 Manager, Pat Ertz, Board Member, Jim McClanahan, and Secretary of the Board, Richard Tush, with an award for the water district donating a drug take back box to the City of Raytown. The dug take back box is located in the lobby of the Raytown Police Department and is for the disposal of prescription and over the counter medication.

Raytown Police Department to Participate in Youth Seat Belt EnforcementPosted by Michael Downing in Police & CrimeThe Raytown Police Department announced today they are joining with statewide law enforcement March 15-31 for an aggressive youth seat belt mobilization to crack down on Missouri’s seat belt law violators and to reduce highway fatalities. Only 66 percent of Missouri teens wear their seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Eight out of ten teens killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled. Under the Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) law, teens are required to wear their seat belt as it’s a primary offense, meaning they can be pulled over solely for not wearing their seat belt. Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up seat belt enforcement. The Police will be out there to remind you seat belts can – and do – save lives. Seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes. Buckle Up and Arrive Alive. For information on Missouri seatbelt usage, visit www.saveMOlives.com.
