A Sedalia woman who was arrested as result of the execution of a search warrant on April 22 is due in court this week.

During execution of the warrant, authorities say there were five juvenile children present in the home- all of whom were released to family members after a hotline report was made to Division of Family Services. Approximately two ounces of methamphetamine, paraphernalia and a stolen vehicle (reported stolen to the Sedalia Police Department earlier in the week) were recovered.

Court documents say Melissa Elizabeth Tobin is charged with felonies for trafficking drugs in the second degree and endangering the welfare of children involving drugs in the first degree, first offense. Tobin posted $10,000 surety bond on July 25.

Tobin was arraigned on August 3. Her next hearing is scheduled to be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 14, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
