COLUMBIA, MO
(KBIA) -
A 57-year-old Missouri man has been kicked out of town. That's after being convicted of paying a teenager to vandalize a monument to hometown hero General Omar Bradley. Rex Barstow Sr. was sentenced to jail time, a four year probation, and must pay about $8,000 dollars to cover damage to the statue in the town of Clark, which is located between Columbia and Moberly. A judge recently ordered Barstow to stay out of the tiny community in southern Randolph County. Barstow was convicted last month of paying a 14-year-old acquaintance between $20 and $60 dollars to knock over a new stone monument commemorating the life of Bradley, a Clark native and famed Army general in World War II. The memorial has since been replaced.
