Afton custody dispute case dismissed
• Prosecuting witnesses fail to appear; case dismissed for lack of evidence
The six people involved in a custody dispute last October outside Casey’s General Store in Afton have been cleared of all charges.
Charles Robb and Rosie Peterson of Arispe, Russell Peterson of Lorimor, Jennifer Steinbach of Northboro, Crystal Miller of Creston and Kathy Benedict of Afton were all charged with unlawful assembly in October.
According to court documents, the alleged dispute took place Oct. 11 in Casey’s parking lot in Afton whereby the group entered Casey’s and used their vehicle to block Robb’s ex-wife JoAnne Shannon, her husband Del Shannon and three minor children from leaving the gas lane.
