Narcotics search warrants lead to arrests in JC

Friday, August 24, 2012

On Friday, the Jefferson City Police Department’s SWAT Team, in conjunction with Jefferson City police detectives and the MUSTANG Drug Task Force, served two separate narcotics-related search warrants in Jefferson City.

The first narcotics warrant was served at 10:20 a.m. in the 1100 block of East Miller Street, where two persons were arrested and taken into custody for the following:

• Henry Williams, 23, Jefferson City, for possession of narcotics with intent to distribute and receiving stolen property.

• Sonya Clark, 42, Jefferson City, for possession of drug paraphernalia.

While the initial search warrant at this location was for narcotics, detectives found a number of items within the residence that matched the description of stolen items taken in various area residential burglaries.

A second search warrant for this address was obtained and the items were taken into evidence.

The second narcotics search warrant was served at 11:52 a.m. in the 700 block of Broadway, where two more persons were arrested.

• Robert Lee Jones, 37, Jefferson City.

• Marnee Jenkins, 41, Jefferson City.

Both were arrested for possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

No one was injured during the incidents.

Thank you JCPD. I hope you know how much many of us in this community appreciate what you are doing about the crime in Jefferson City. We are not unique. All over this country people are facing the threats we face from drugs and crime. But I believe our law enforcement teams are doing better than most when it comes to investigating and arresting these criminals.Keep up the good work.

Props on getting the appropriate paperwork for the stolen property!

What was the substance and how much was there? That's an awful lot of investment and involvement for something small potatoes.

Good job, JCPD!

Lock up the trash and throw away the key!

Get the word out that Jeff City is unfriendly to druggies and other vermin!

Lee??

That depends upon the substance and the dosage. One dose of about 35 regular strength tylenol will kill you. You cannot physically consume enough of some illegal drugs to kill you. One small dose of penicillin will kill guinea pigs--luckily they were out at the time and had to test it on hamsters. Look into this thing called the LC50 for the drugs you can think of. Furthermore, it doesn't make sense for a dealer to get his customers killed, and consider that more people OD on alcohol than anything.

Clearly you are uninformed, or have been misled.

Lifer?

Learn something about due process and the laws will ya?

1-they're accused, not convicted. The judge sentences them, or the jury, not the cops. 2-three of the four were probably released on their own recognizance--without bond--due to the minor (misdemeanor) offense, and will probably only pay a small fine.

Their "good job" was that they had their paperwork in order, conducted their business as was proper, and nobody was hurt or injured during the operation. But! Was the cost worth the investment? These were evidently not big busts as what was seized and the amount was not released. No weapons are mentioned. There were a lot of police resources committed to this, and that's all they secured? One possible dealer who -may- have been in possession of stolen property that they didn't know about in advance, and three paraphernalia charges?

You strike me as someone who is decidedly unfit for jury duty. Might want to remedy that if you ever have hope for one day putting "vermin" behind bars and "throwing away the key".

The righteous do not judgment seek to hand down, nor vengeance seek.

They didn't get arrested for being model citizens. Glad they got picked up and I hope many more get hauled in this weekend. How hard is it to just say no to drugs and a life of thuggery?
The only problem I see is that our "hug a thug" courts won't punish them and will just let them go with a week or two of unsupervised probation.

Paroquet, it was definitely worth it to me. And if you spent time in that area, it would be worth it to you. Get these guys off the streets. There's been a lot of crime in that area, especially the last 2 months. Even if the article does not mention weapons, there's been shootings in that area. If someone has stolen property they are dangerous, and involved in crime that will only get worse.

Due process? Yeah, these criminals get due process. But what about the innocent people in the neighborhood, the kids that play at the park right down the street, the elderly people that live around there, and have to watch criminals hanging out and up to no good on their block. What kind of due process to they get? Lots of times Lifer gets under my skin. But when he calls these bums "trash, druggies and other vermin" he is right on. They don't care what they do to people, even people that they lie about caring for. They will grind the girl friend's life into dust just so they can sell $25 worth of heroin or whatever the drug of the moment is. Get them off our streets, and into our beautiful new jail. Even if they bond out, get their trials done asap and them ship them up the river.

And while you are at it, go after their landlords, who rented to them, just to make a buck. The landlords bring them into our neighborhoods, allow them to flourish (because once the place is rented the landlord NEVER shows up, until it's time to evict the bums), and then when these thugs are gone the landlords start all over again. They are as responsible as the criminals for this mess.

I attended the funeral for one time "trying" something new. Dealers don't give a darn. You need to get off your rose colored glasses and get into the real world. If you don't think illegal drugs can kill you must be in denial and should seek help yourself. Don't comment if you do not have any personal knowledge in a particular subject

Paroquet 9 months ago

I have scads of personal knowledge upon the subject in question. What was the substance, and how much did the deceased weigh?

Not only do I know which illicit drugs can kill, I'm also knowledgeable concerning prescription, OTC, and the pharmacology of medicinal herbals. What would you like to know about which?

They weren't on the street. All parties were in their homes at the time. You're right, I don't live near there. I'm about 8 blocks south. For that much police presence in your 'hood, I'd say law enforcement has their finger on its pulse. There are things you can do to help them to improve the situation. Call them and ask what you can do. For the landlords, speak with Code Enforcement. Have them tell you what you can look for. Pretend to be an interested prospective tenant and have them show you the property. Make a list.------------------

As for name calling upon a mere arrest, that's not the proper time nor place. In some cases, even cheering after a verdict puts you rooting for having an innocent person condemned. Giving accolades to the officers on a job well done can be premature, but in this instance, I was very pleased to see they did not botch the issue that may, or many not, concern stolen property.

Several clowns recently arrested were "in their homes" at the time of the arrest. But like many people, they spend a lot of time out and about and "on the street." They are dangerous and they need to be arrested, charged, convicted and incarcerated. As for all your suggestions, thanks, I agree that people should do those things. I've been doing them, for more than a year.

I think name calling is warranted. These criminals destroy people. You can be a gentle soul and see where it gets you. No more of that for me. I do not want innocent people convicted. And I do not want guilty people to go free and continue hurting and destroying people in this community.

Agree. Also don't care if they were doing drugs in their homes, a tent, or in a church. They need to be punished severely and made examples of to warn the others we have zero tolerance for illegal activity, especially drugs and violent crime.

The illegal drug trade does indeed hurt people. And the folks willing to deal drugs do tend to be among our rankest folk as far as what they'll do wherever they trade. In the months leading up to the repeal of prohibition, these same articles were written about the illegal alcohol trade and the thugs that the police were fighting. It's the illegality that's the problem. Drug use is of debatable value but is universal in our culture. Drug abuse is a horrible thing for its victims. The illegal drug trade is worse, and tears at the fabric of the respect for law and law enforcement. Legalize and manage drugs, all of them including alcohol, and most of these things that make people spout gnarly macho cr$p in the paper will be greatly reduced.
