Iron County sheriff, two deputies charged in 'criminal street gang activity'

Jeff Burkett, in his first term as sheriff of Iron County, was in jail Friday, along with the pair of Iron County deputies and a fourth man, Donald Rickie Gaston. But who will patrol the 550 square miles of Iron County, with the already short-staffed sheriff's office down to three? The four men charged are:• The sheriff, Burkett, 46, who lives in Des Arc, Missouri, in Iron County. • Iron County Deputy Matthew Cozad, 39, who lives in Bixby, Missouri, in Iron County. • Iron County Deputy Major Chase Bresnahan, 31, who lives in Centerville, Missouri, in Reynolds County.
