Moberly Man Faces Charges For Threatening Valley View

A Moberly man faces charges of making a terrorist threat and harassment after threatening a staff member at Valley View Tuesday morning. 53-year-old Rickey Ridgeway is accusing of calling the center, demanding to speak to his wife, who works there. He used foul language with an employee, and threatened to “clear out the whole place.” The employee called police, and the facility was placed under lockdown. He admitted to police to making the call, but denied threatening anyone. Ridgeway is scheduled to appear in Boone County Court next month in a separate case on charges of trespassing and harassment filed in February.
