Search Nets Four Arrests; Deer Found in Cage

Four people were arrested, and one is being sought after sheriff's deputies attempted to serve a warrant on a wanted man Sunday morning.

The Graves County Sheriff's Office says a deputy went to a home on Norsworthy Lane to serve a warrant on 53-year-old Keith Duncan of Sedalia. A man came to the door, then quickly went back inside. The man was later identified as 41-year-old Christopher Ivie of Union City, Tennessee. Ivie has warrants in Tennessee for child abuse and neglect.

Deputies said 24-year-old Savannah Isbell of Mayfield came outside just prior to when Ivie went back in, and she reportedly refused to identify Ivie.

Deputies later learned Ivie had left through a window in the rear of the mobile home. They saw him a short time later on Walker Road, but he ran away and was not captured. 

During a search of the property, deputies seized a firearm, methamphetamine, marijuana, hydrocodone and drug paraphernalia. They also found a young deer fawn with a dog collar on in a cage.

Duncan, Isbell, 53-year-old Jerri Turner of Sedalia and 18-year-old Tory Turner were all arrested on various drug and other charges. The Department of Fish and Wildlife also charged Duncan and Jerri Turner with illegal possession of a deer.

Ivie is described as a white male with a slim build. He was last seen wearing black pants and no shirt. Deputies are asking anyone with information about his location to contact law enforcement.
