Adair County: Greenfield woman charged for assaulting officer

Shane E. Davis, 49, of Stuart, was taken into custody 5:51 p.m. Feb. 23 in the 500 block of South Division Street in Stuart on the charge of driving while barred.

According to a Stuart police report, at approximately 5:26 p.m. a 2007 Honda Accord was observed operating with tags that appeared to be expired. The Honda turned into a parking lot and a male, later identified as Davis, exited the vehicle as officers drove by to get the license plate information.

The vehicle tags were found to have expired in October 2025. Officers circled back and made contact with Davis, who was standing outside. Davis admitted to driving the Honda and to having a barred driver’s license, which was confirmed by officers.

Davis was transported to the Adair County Jail where he was released from after posting $2,000 cash or surety bond.

Taylor K. Flanery, 28, of Greenfield, was taken into custody 9 a.m. Feb. 27 at the Adair County Courthouse on an Adair County warrant for the charges of assault on persons in certain occupations causing bodily injury and intent to remove radio from an officer.

According to a Greenfield Police report, at approximately 2:50 p.m. Jan. 12, officers attempted to serve an arrest warrant from Dallas County on Flanery at a residence on Southwest Jackson Street in Greenfield.

As Flanery was taken into custody, she resisted and threw her arms, erratically striking an officer and Adair County deputy with open-hand and closed-fist punches. Flanery also kicked both law enforcement officers multiple times in the face and body and spit in the face and eyes of an officer.
