Florida police arrest Missouri man on FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list
A routine Saturday morning traffic stop in Lady Lake resulted in the arrest of a Missouri man on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, according to a news release from the Lady Lake Police Department.
Donald Eugene Fields II, 60, was wanted on federal child sex trafficking charges and Missouri state charges including statutory rape, statutory sodomy, child molestation and witness tampering. He failed to show up for a court hearing in Missouri in March 2022 and had been classified as a fugitive ever since, the release said.
According to the release, Lady Lake Police Sgt. Michelle Bilbrey stopped Fields’ vehicle at about 9:15 a.m. Saturday at U.S. 441/U.S. 27 and Rolling Acres Road because the license plate was not assigned to that vehicle.
“This proactive policing effort resulted in the identification and capture of Fields,” the release says.
“Sometimes, an everyday traffic stop turns into a real game-changer. This is a reminder that every officer, every day, is out there making a real difference,” Lady Lake Police Chief Steve Hunt said in the release. “Every traffic stop is an opportunity for justice. What starts as a routine encounter can quickly turn into a pivotal moment, where an officer’s sharp instincts and dedication to service lead to a significant arrest — keeping our community and in this case, the nation, safer.”
The FBI praised Bilbrey and the police department.
Fields was federally indicted in St. Louis on Dec. 7, 2023, on one count of child sex trafficking, according to the FBI press release. The indictment accuses Fields of knowingly attempting to recruit, entice, provide, patronize and solicit a minor into engaging in a commercial sex act from about January 2013 until June 2017. Fields is also facing charges including statutory rape, statutory sodomy, child molestation and witness tampering in Franklin County Circuit Court in Missouri, the FBI said. A warrant for his arrest was issued by that court after Fields vacated his home and failed to show up for a hearing March 3, 2022, court records show.
The FBI’s St. Louis field office said the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list was established in March 1950.
Fields “was the 531st fugitive added to the list,” the FBI said. “Of the total, 495 fugitives have now been apprehended or located — 163 of them as a result of citizen cooperation.”

What our Post expert thinks about Missouri vs. Alabama State
Alabama State has already dropped its two power-conference tests by an average of 32.5 points, and its defensive profile hasn’t suggested much resistance.
The Hornets bring two of the SWAC’s top scorers in Asjon Anderson and Micah Simpson, they are giving up 81.4 points per game and allowing opponents to shoot 45.3 percent from the floor.
Missouri’s rebounding edge should matter — the Tigers pull nearly 40 boards per game while Alabama State is giving up 37.4 a night and just surrendered 18 offensive rebounds to UT Martin.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Road construction on Springfield’s northside is affecting access to the Southwest Missouri Humane Society.
MoDOT is realigning the intersection of Norton and Melville Road as part of the I-44 overpass project. The bridge work and intersection project are both impacting the animal shelter.
The shelter sits on Norton Road just west of where the work is happening. Visitors can only reach the shelter by taking the long way up West Bypass to Westgate Avenue, then onto Norton Road.
MoDOT says the intersection at Norton and Melville is supposed to be closed for two weeks. The bridge project, as a whole, is supposed to be completed by the end of the year.

Organizers working to turn back Missouri’s congressional redistricting map spoke Tuesday about collecting signatures to put the effort to a vote by citizens.
People Not Politicians submitted more than 300,000 signatures Tuesday to the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office. The signatures hope to force a statewide vote on redistricting approved earlier this year by Missouri politicians.
KSHB 41 anchor Caitlin Knute spoke with one of the volunteers behind the effort.
Volunteer describes collecting signatures for petition on Missouri redistricting
“I think people in rural areas want to follow the Constitution, and I think it was pretty clear this was not done within the parameters of the Constitution,” volunteer Elizabeth Franklin said.
Redistricting typically occurs after a census every 10 years, but that wasn’t the case this year in Missouri. Critics on both sides of the aisle note that it splits Kansas City into three districts, lumping parts of the city in with much more rural areas.
A spokesperson for the Missouri Secretary of State’s office confirmed receipt of 691 boxes of signatures.
“The elections division will proceed with scanning, counting and sorting the sheets for verification by local election authorities,” the spokesperson said.
