A 30-year-old Green Ridge man charged with multiple felonies following the execution of several search warrants more than a year and a half ago is due in court this week.
According to a report from the Sedalia Police Department, on April 16, 2020, officers conducted a traffic stop of a suspect related to an ongoing drug investigation, and Samuel David Woolery II was taken into custody. Authorities from multiple law-enforcement agencies served five search warrants at residences in Sedalia and Green Ridge, two storage units in Sedalia and the suspect’s vehicle nearly simultaneously and say they located numerous drug-related items and a weapon.
Woolery pleaded not guilty on July 20, 2020, to a felony for manufacturing a controlled substance within 2,000 feet of a school or college; a felony for delivery of a controlled substance; three counts of a felony for possession of a controlled substance; and another felony for unlawful use of a weapon. Woolery posted $125,000 surety bond on April 21, 2020.
Woolery’s next hearing is scheduled to be held at 9 a.m. Friday, November 19, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
