Jailed man held after Vandiver Village shooting
Omer Cheatum, 76, of Route 1 Mexico, remained in critical condition at Audrain Medical Center with a shotgun wound to the head after a 10 p.m. Friday shooting at a vacant house near the Norfolk and Western railroad behind the Saddle Horse Cafe. Walter Jerriet Williams, 59, was taken into custody at the scene and held for further investigation. Williams and Cheatum had reportedly been living together until a few days prior and were drinking. A second shotgun was found by Cheatum. In Kirksville, a bee assault case against Lyle McFarland was dismissed for lack of evidence.
