Resident tells Clay County commissioners of repeated break‑ins, alleged meth activity and suspected theft in local GOP women's group
Summary
Robin Shira, a resident of Olive Point, told commissioners she has experienced repeated break-ins, smelled what she believes was methamphetamine production, found underage girls in her attic and alleged that checks deposited to a local Republican women's group's account were stolen and returned by another person rather than the bank.
Robin Shira, who identified herself and gave an address in Olive Point, used the meeting’s public‑comment period to report ongoing safety and criminal concerns at her home.
Shira said her house has been broken into repeatedly since she moved to 311 East Washington about nine years ago and that she first reported occupants smoking in the house. She told commissioners the smell later suggested methamphetamine production; she described herself as an environmental engineer with hazardous‑materials experience and said her training enabled her to identify the odor. She said she and her husband found underage girls in their attic on more than one occasion and that the city police suggested purchasing a shotgun for protection.
Shira also said she is president of a local Republican women’s group and that deposited checks were stolen and returned to her by another person rather than by the bank. She said she had notified 'Andy' about the alleged thefts, provided a list of about 20 women who had been threatened, and asked the state House speaker and a candidate for governor to look into the matter; she said the governor candidate offered to set up a task force.
The board did not discuss or announce investigatory follow‑up during the meeting. The transcript records Shira’s allegations and requests but does not include corroboration, law‑enforcement findings, or next steps from county officials.
