After a covert investigation over several months between the Sedalia Police Department’s Crime Resolution Unit and the Pettis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, six Sedalia residents were arrested for suspected distribution of drugs.

According to a release from the police department, many of the individuals arrested are suspected of distributing drugs through hand-to-hand transactions in places like motels, protected areas (near parks or schools) and in concealed locations.

Warrants have been issued- with bond ranging from $100,000 t0 $200,000- but none of the suspects has been formally charged at this time. Per KMMO policy, the names of the suspects will not be released until formal charges are filed.
