The list above is not exhaustive. I am requesting any additional arrest, jail, police, and other related records for James A. Pruitt that are available.
Additionally, if Mr. Pruitt served as a confidential informant for the Boone County Sheriff's Department or nearby police enforcement agencies, I would like to request any related records as well.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following The Missouri Sunshine Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on Feb. 6, 2025. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Boone County Sheriff's Department
This correspondence serves as the 3 day acknowledgment of your Missouri Sunshine Law Request that was received for processing on 2/11/25. Sunshine Law Requests are processed in the order they are received, and like most agencies we have a large number of requests.
We will be in contact with you no later than 10 business days once we've had a chance to review the information you have provided. At that time, I will let you know if records are available for release and a cost estimate deposit.
Just after a brief glance of the information you provided, I know there will be quite a bit of initial research time as you only provided Court case numbers. I will need to contact the Courts in an attempt to see what agency was the arresting agency. Not all cases in Boone County are from the Sheriff’s Office as there are several municipalities in Boone County.

We have several large requests in the office at this time. Due to your request containing no Sheriff’s Office case numbers, this request will require our agency to inquire with the Courts and the Prosecutor’s Office for information. The Sheriff’s Office does not have access to all law enforcement agency reports. Additionally, the Sheriff’s Office is not responsible for criminal history for individuals. This is the responsibility of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. I will send you a cost estimate next week of the approximate cost to begin processing this request. Much of this work will be manual so I expect the cost to be at least $300 - $500 cost estimate.

Mr. Howard,
We’ve finally been able to research all of the Court case information you provided. We had to contact the Courts and the Prosecuting Attorney for case and disposition information. Because many of these are old cases, the case numbers listed weren’t searchable, and we had to find the correct one.
It appears from the information given in your request, the following cases are Columbia Police Department cases. Please contact their agency for any records.
- Case No. 02CR167105 - May 27, 2022 (13th Judicial Circuit) - Domestic Assault
- Case No. CR0196051197F - Stealing
