On May 30, 2026, Deputies responded to the 4400 block of Glaser Hollow Road regarding a report of a stolen vehicle.

While deputies were en route, the suspect returned to the scene and stole a tractor. The suspect drove the tractor away, collided with a tree, and then fled on foot.

During the investigation, deputies determined that the suspect had driven onto the reporting party's field before becoming stuck. Deputies also learned that the suspect unlawfully entered a neighboring residence and changed clothing before leaving the area.

The suspect later returned to the residence and was confronted by the reporting party. She then stole a tractor, crashed it into a tree, and fled on foot before law enforcement arrived.

Deputies, assisted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, ultimately located the female suspect hiding in a screened in porch at a nearby residence. She was taken into custody without further incident.

After being evaluated by Osage EMS personnel, the suspect was transported to the Franklin County Sheriff's Adult Detention Center for formal charges.

On May 31, 2026, Associate Circuit Judge Ada Brehe-Krueger issued a $50,000 surety bond for Ashley Walser of Rolla, Missouri, on the following charges:

• Burglary, 2nd Degree
• Tampering with a Motor Vehicle, 1st Degree
• Tampering with a Motor Vehicle, 2nd Degree
• Stealing (Value Less Than $150 and No Prior Stealing Offense)
• Stealing (Value Less Than $150 and No Prior Stealing Offense)

This investigation remains ongoing as Deputies continue to investigate additional incidents related to Walser's alleged involvement.

Additional updates will follow as this investigation unfolds.

Gasconade County Sheriff's Office will be joining with statewide law enforcement May 18-31, 2026 for a statewide “Click It or Ticket” mobilization to step up enforcement on Missouri’s seat belt law.

More than 5 out of 10 people killed in 2025 Missouri traffic crashes were unbuckled.

Even with all the advancements in automobile safety, a seat belt remains a person’s single greatest defense in the event of a crash.

Missouri’s seat belt use has shown improvement in the last five years, but the state remains just below the national average in usage. Missouri has an 88.5 percent seat belt use while the national average is 91.2 (2024) percent. Teens and pick-up truck drivers are among those least likely to buckle up at 74.0 percent and 75.3 percent, respectively.

Buckle Up and Arrive Alive. For information on Missouri seatbelt usage, visit
