2 arrested for assault

On May 16, 2022, at approximately 4:34 p.m., deputies with the Platte County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of the Highway 81, Highway 91 junction regarding a 911 call that pinged in that area. The caller was unable to clearly describe their emergency when a second party got on the phone before abruptly hanging up.

While deputies were searching the area, dispatch received a second call from the caller, who indicated they had been assaulted and were able to advise their location. Deputies responded to the Midway Motel, near the Highway 81 Highway 91 junction, where they spoke with the victim.

The initial investigation revealed that the suspects had fled the area in a vehicle. Area agencies were requested to watch for the suspect vehicle. At approximately 5:17 p.m. the vehicle was observed by a Madison County deputy near Norfolk, who, with the assistance of other agencies, stopped the suspect’s vehicle.

The suspects, who were identified as Montereo Adams, 28 from Charlotte, N.C., and Moesha Boyd, 25 from Charlotte, N.C., were detained and transported back to Platte County for further investigation and interviews.  

Both Adams and Boyd were placed under arrest and housed at the Platte County Detention Facility on the charge of 3rd Degree Assault.

As of the time of this release, both Adams and Boyd had posted a $1,000 bond and have been released from custody. Their next court appearance has been set for June 29, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. in Platte County Court.
