Darrell Large

After numerous threats to “shoot everyone” in the Shelby County Courthouse, 76-year old Darrell L. Large of Hunnewell is facing numerous charges. Those charges include making a terrorist threat, a C felony, and resisting arrest,, a D felony, and two counts of third degree assault on a law enforcement officer, both A misdemeanors.
   According to Shelby County Prosecuting Attorney Jim McConnell, Large was in the Circuit Clerk’s office around 2:30 p.m. asking for a Federal Judge. They tried to explain that there were no Federal Judges in the building, but Large became very agitated and started getting loud and cursing. Law enforcement came to try to calm him down. It didn’t work.
   McConnell explained that Large had a previous altercation with officers a couple of years ago.
   According to McConnell, Large was moving toward Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputy Ennis Grubb and said he could “disarm him..” He then said he would go out and “get his gun and shoot everybody,” according to McConnell.
   Several courthouse employees tried to calm him down. Juvenile officer Jennifer Fredman had a little more success than anyone.

The probable cause statement said that the vehicle identification number (VIN) “had been removed or altered in such a fashion it misrepresented the vehicle to which it was attached.” Barry allegedly possessed the vehicle while living in Leonard.
   According to the probable cause statement, on Oct. 31, 2009, Barry “presented a Missouri Department of Revenue, Application for Missouri Title and License Form in Shelby County, located in Shelbina, knowing the purchase price misrepresented the actual sales price.” The statement went on to say that Barry “misrepresented the sales price on the State of Missouri certificate of title.” It states that both forms indicated a lower sales price number than the defendant stated the vehicle was actually purchased for.
   According to Shelby County Prosecuting Attorney Jim McConnell, the truck was sold by Berry recently to a person in Wisconsin.
