Two Sedalia residents were arrested after the execution of a search warrant at a motel on Thursday, October 7.

According to a release from the Pettis County Sheriff’s Office, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Pettis County Deputies accompanied the Mid Missouri Drug Task Force in the service of a search warrant at Budget Inn at 4710 South Limit Avenue. This warrant was for the permanent residence off the motel lobby.

During warrant service, over two ounces of methamphetamine were seized along with various paraphernalia items to include baggies, digital scale, hypodermic needles and glass pipes with methamphetamine residue. There was also a small amount of a brown, tar-like substance seized.

Neither of the persons taken into custody has been formally charged at this time. Charges will be requested via Pettis County Prosecutor Phillip Sawyer for second-degree trafficking and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both subjects are being held on a 24-hour hold pending the filing of formal charges.

Per KMMO policy, names of the persons arrested will not be released until formal charges are filed.
