Earlier this week, narcotics detectives in Johnson County, MO conducted a narcotic interdiction and reportedly recovered hundreds of marijuana plants.

A press release from the Johnson County Sheriff's Department indicates the interdiction was began September 18.

At approximately 2:45 p.m., a search warrant was executed in the 300 block of SW 101 Rd., in rural Warrensburg. During the search warrant, detectives reportedly located nearly 300 suspected marijuana plants, harvested marijuana plants, equipment used to propagate, cultivate and grow marijuana.

Authorities say that during a search of the residence, stolen property was also recovered. 54-year old Tammy Williams was arrested and placed on a twenty-four hold for manufacturing a controlled substance.

Then early in the morning on September 19, a search warrant was executed in the 700 block of SW 1601 Rd., in rural Johnson County. During the execution of the search warrant, Detectives located over 50 adult marijuana plants, over 100 youth marijuana plants, harvested marijuana, a firearm and equipment used to propagate, cultivate and grow marijuana.

At approximately 10:00 a.m. on September 20, Narcotics Detectives located two vehicles covered and concealed in a wooded area in the 1500 block of NW 910 Road in rural Johnson County. Both vehicles were confirmed stolen out of Kansas City and were recovered.

The Narcotics Division says “being pro-active in the pursuit and interdiction of narcotics often requires assets beyond our agency.” Sheriff Munsterman says “I would like to thank the Warrensburg Police Department, Johnson County Ambulance District, Holden Police Department, Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Kansas City Police Department in their assistance with these investigations. Without the continued support and assistance from area law enforcement, these types of operations would not be possible. The Sheriff’s Office remains committed to keeping drugs off our streets and securing a clean future for our families and children.”

The investigations are ongoing and additional charges are pending.
