In the late afternoon of November 25, 2024, the Callaway County Sheriff's Office, with the assistance of the MUSTANG Drug Task Force, executed a narcotics-related search warrant at a residence located in the 400 block of Chestnut Street in Auxvasse. This residence is situated directly across the street from Auxvasse Middle School.

 

To ensure the safety and minimize disruption to the community, deputies waited until after school dismissal and the departure of buses before initiating the search warrant. The North Callaway School Resource Officer was also present at the school during the operation, ensuring that any remaining students were kept inside for their safety.

 

During the search, deputies recovered approximately 16 grams of methamphetamine and a firearm reported stolen from the Saint Louis area.

 

Further details regarding arrests and charges will be provided in an upcoming release.
