Charges dropped against second man in Jasper County robbery case

JASPER COUNTY, Mo. — Charges are dropped in a Jasper County robbery and assault case.

This week, the Jasper County Prosecutor’s Office dropped first-degree robbery charges against Bobby Bush, 19. In March, prosecutors also dropped charges against Andrew Reed, 22, in the same case, saying the victim was no longer cooperating.

Bush and Reed were charged after a 17-year-old boy told Joplin Police they hit him several times in the head with a handgun and took his phone, wallet, and shoes.
