On October 12, 2025, at approximately 12:56 AM, Caruthersville Police responded to an address on West 11th Street after seeing a subject with an active no-bond Pemiscot County Probation Violation warrant standing outside. Upon attempting contact with the subject, -year-old Kelvin Foster, he barricaded himself inside the residence and refused to comply with officer’s instructions to surrender peacefully.

Foster was then taken into custody with no further incident.
