BOONE COUNTY, Mo. (KMIZ)

There was a large police presence in Boone County late Saturday night.

An ABC 17 News reporter on scene saw roughly 20 Columbia Police Department vehicles on Lightpost Court in Boone County, just east of Columbia just before 11 p.m. A Boone County Sheriff’s Office vehicle was also on scene.

A neighbor told ABC 17 News they went outside for about an hour after they saw a large police response. The neighbor said they witnessed a group of people being escorted from a home by officers. That same group was later seen being questioned by police by an ABC 17 News reporter at the scene.

Neighbors also reported seeing officers enter and search a home on the 5900 block of Lightpost Court.

Several CPD vehicles were seen along South Rolling Road, and appeared to be monitoring the back of the home involved.

ABC 17 News is working to learn more information.
