A 29-year-old man from St. Louis was taken into custody early Sunday in Pocahontas after officers with the Pocahontas Police Department arrested him on multiple charges, including driving while intoxicated and several counts of endangering the welfare of a minor. He was booked into the Randolph County Detention Center, where online booking records list the current allegations against him.
Charges and booking
The Randolph County Sheriffs Office inmate roster identifies the suspect as Tuyisabe Teojen, booking #1436, and shows he was booked at about 1:45 a.m. on Feb. 22, 2026. According to the roster, Teojen faces charges including Driving While Intoxicated (first offense), a failure-to-appear warrant, no liability insurance, no drivers license, refusal to submit to an intoxication test, careless driving, and multiple counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor. His bond is listed at $0.00, according to the Randolph County Sheriffs Office.
How it was reported
Local outlet E Communications ran a brief item on Feb. 23 that identified Teojen and listed a similar set of charges. That report referenced a first-degree endangering count, while the county inmate roster shows third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor in the public booking record.
County context
Randolph County has dealt with other child-related cases in recent months, which local outlets have followed as investigations and court cases moved forward. In September 2025, a separate child-related investigation led to felony charges in an unrelated case, as reported by KAIT.
Booking notes on the sheriffs site state that charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances. Teojens profile currently lists bond at $0.00 and names the Pocahontas Police Department as the arresting agency, according to the Randolph County Sheriffs Office.
