SEARCH“There are no Mayberry RFDs anymore. This is a 4,500-person community where this happened. And it can happen anywhere,” Ste. Genevieve Police Chief Eric Bennett said.
A Ste. Genevieve, MO, police officer was in surgery for hours Monday following an attack that left him with second- and third-degree burns.
Pete Unverferth was airlifted to the hospital last week after a suspect lit a Molotov cocktail and threw at him.
Unverferth, 36, was responding to a noise complaint call. The suspect, Tyson Heise, 34, has been charged with knowingly injuring the officer. He is in custody, Fox2Now reports.
“There are no Mayberry RFDs anymore. This is a 4,500-person community where this happened. And it can happen anywhere,” Ste. Genevieve Police Chief Eric Bennett said.
The firebomb shattered on Officer Unverferth’s arm. He was also burned on his hands, torso, legs, and thighs, Bennett said.
