Summer in the Ozarks: a time for boating, barbecues, and…busts? In the upcoming episode of A&E’s Ozark Law, titled “Fight on the Strip,” the influx of summer tourists brings a wave of crime and chaos to the Lake of the Ozarks region, keeping local law enforcement on their toes.
Corp. Caleb Harvey takes center stage in a tense encounter, pulling over a driver suspected of possessing meth. Meanwhile, Officer Karl Glascock faces a different kind of challenge, rescuing a young man who swerved his car into a ditch to avoid hitting a deer. And in a case that highlights the everyday realities of police work, Corp. Stephen Riner arrests a grandmother who shouldn’t be behind the wheel.
“Fight on the Strip” offers a glimpse into the often unpredictable nature of law enforcement in a popular tourist destination. As the summer crowds descend upon the Lake Ozark and Osage Beach areas, the workload for local police increases dramatically. From drug offenses to traffic incidents, the officers of Ozark Law handle it all, providing a raw and unfiltered look at the challenges they face daily.
Ozark Law airs Wednesdays at 10:01 PM Eastern on A&E. “Fight on the Strip” airs Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
