A little after 11 p.m., the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department, and state troopers, responded to a domestic dispute that left a Kansas man dead.
“The caller said that there had been some sort of altercation at the home. That they needed a deputy and an ambulance because someone had been shot,” said Sheriff Darren White.
At least a dozen family members gathered at 10197 Icon Road, just northwest of Hopkins, for a family function.
Alcohol was involved.
Sheriff Darren White, with the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department, said 34-year old Mickey Lobdell, was very drunk and began making threats toward his uncle, 51-year-old Lewis Schrodt.
(MARYVILLE, Mo.) Nodaway County Prosecutor Robert Rice will not file charges against a man after he shot and killed a relative this past December.
Lewis Schrodt shot Mickey Lobdell in the chest after a domestic dispute near Clearmont, Mo. in December 2013. Lobdell later died.
“Missouri’s self-defense and castle doctrine is clear,” Rice said in a statement. “You have a right to defend yourself on your property against death or serious physical injury. In this case, Mr. Schrodt acted within his legal right and defended himself.”
According to a release from Rice, Schrodt was defending himself and fired two warning shots before firing the fatal shot. According to Rice’s statment, Lobdell had been drinking and Schrodt, who suffers from physical disabilites, felt threatened by Lobdell who was threatening and approaching Schrodt when he was shot.
Rice also said Lobdel had outstanding warrants in Kansas and had a history of criminal convictions.
According to Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White, Lobdell was Schrodt’s nephew. The shooting happened during a family gathering.
