CODY WRY d/o/b 3-10-1992 of Forsyth, Missouri plead guilty without an agreement Tuesday to the class B misdemeanors of making a false declaration and making a false report in front of Taney County Associate Circuit Judge Tiffany Yarnell. Formal sentencing is set for October 4, 2018.

On April 28, 2018 Cody Wry made a police report and filled out a statement with the Taney County Sheriff’s office that he had stopped his vehicle at the intersection of Strawberry and Forsyth-Taneyville Road. He advised law enforcement that a male opened his door, pointed a gun at him and ordered him to get over or get out. Due to a young child in the car, CODY WRY moved over to the passenger seat and sometime later the vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a tree. CODY WRY was shown a photo lineup and identified another individual as the person that pointed a gun at him, stole the car and crashed it into a tree. CODY WRY later admitted he made up the story due to his drug use and fear that he would lose his license.

The range of punishment for each of the class B misdemeanors of making a false declaration and making a false report is imprisonment in the county jail or other authorized penal institution for a term not to exceed six (6) months; by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000); or by both imprisonment and a fine.
