On September 30, 2025, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office received reports of an individual making threats against local businesses through a social media platform.
Deputies responded by attempting to make contact with the individual at their residence. Before law enforcement arrived, the suspect left the property on a utility terrain vehicle (UTV), evading officers on nearby family-owned land.
A coordinated search effort ensued, resulting in a 12-hour manhunt in the area of Highway Z and County Road 240. The suspect, identified as Brandon M. Krigbaum, was ultimately apprehended and taken into custody without incident. He was transported to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office where he remains in custody.
The investigation into the threats remains active, and additional details will be released as they become available.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the following agencies for their assistance during the investigation: Missouri State Highway Patrol, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Northeast Missouri (NEMO) Drug Task Force, Monroe City Police Department, Missouri Department of Conservation, and the Monroe City Fire Department
