Authorities in Weston, Missouri, are actively searching for 37-year-old Michael Hull, who is currently at large and wanted on an outstanding felony warrant. Hull is accused of fleeing a traffic stop, an incident that resulted in minor injuries to a Weston police officer. The situation escalated significantly on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, when law enforcement reported that Hull was seen running near the elementary, middle, and high schools within the West Platte School District while carrying an AR-style rifle. This alarming development prompted the school district to initially implement a two-hour delay before deciding to fully close all campuses for the safety of students and staff. The manhunt began after authorities located Hull's previous residence on Cherry Street, where a report of an open door led officers to the property. Although it was believed Hull was hiding inside, the residence was found to be empty upon entry. Shortly after, the Platte County Sheriff's Office received information indicating that Hull had fled city limits and was possibly hiding in the river bottoms south of Weston. Multiple law enforcement agencies joined the search effort, utilizing extensive resources including armored vehicles. However, the search operation was suspended around 4 p.m. due to extreme heat and heavy brush conditions, though additional resources remain in the area. The community has been placed on high alert, with residents describing the town as tense and quiet as law enforcement maintains a heavy presence. The Platte County Sheriff's Office is urging anyone with information regarding Hull's whereabouts to contact the department at 816-858-5848 or to call 911 immediately. Hull remains a dangerous suspect, and the public is advised to exercise extreme caution and report any suspicious activity to authorities without delay.
