Deputies responded to a call about a 'domestic in progress' at 19724 County Road 70 in Jasper. At the scene, officers say they found Newton armed with a knife, and commanded him to get on the ground. Jasper County Sheriff Randee Kaiser says despite being tased twice, Newton continuously charged officers until a deputy fired their weapon, hitting him.
Newton was treated at the scene until EMS arrived. He was later taken to a local hospital. He remains in custody on no bond.
According to Sheriff Kaiser, the Missouri State Highway Patrol was called in to take over the investigation, which remains ongoing. As part of the standard operating procedures, the deputies have been placed on administrative leave until the investigation is completed.

Day 3 of trial for alleged mastermind in Young Dolph murder
Hernandez Govan will be live in the courtroom at 9:30 a.m. in the video box above. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Hernandez Govan, the man accused of orchestrating the death of rapper Young Dolph, is set to appear in court for day three of his trial Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, Angela Arnold, the girlfriend of Cornelius Smith, was the first witness to take the stand. She told the court that to her knowledge, Smith never had direct contact with Big Jook and that he would communicate with Govan to send and receive messages. She also testified she saw Govan at a carwash hours after Young Dolph's death, when Smith picked up a cellphone from Govan he had left in the white Mercedes used in the murder. Various Memphis Police Investigators were then called to testify in court, along with cell phone records. According to the investigators, they went over calls and text records of Goavn, Smith, and Big Jook in the months leading up to the murder and afterward. They say Smith appeared to have several outgoing calls to Govan. But in cross-examination, Govan's defense attorney explained the reasoning for their communication, saying, Govan supplied Smith with various types of pills, and Johnson talked with him because he was an aspiring rapper. Another investigator who testified said detectives went to the airport to execute a search warrant on Big Jook's phone and asked if they could speak to him, but he refused.
