Van Buren, MO. – The Carter County Sheriff’s Office recently made an announcement pertaining to the arrest of four people as a result of two different search warrants being executed in relation to investigations into distribution of methemphetamine.
My team served two search warrants this week — one in Ellsinore and one in Van Buren — resulting in four arrests and a whole lot less poison on our streets. These homes are officially out of the drug-sale business.
During the investigations and searches, deputies seized quantities of methamphetamine, scales, drug paraphernalia, money, and other evidence connected to illegal drug activity. Warrants have been issued for the following individuals:
1. David Munn- Deliver controlled substance, possession of controlled substance, keeping or maintaining a public nuisance – Felony- $100,000 Cash/Surety bond
2. Emma Clark- Deliver controlled substance, Keeping or maintaining a public nuisance- $30,000 cash only.
3. Mitchell Gore- Deliver controlled substance, possession of controlled substance, keeping or maintaining a public nuisance – Felony- $100,000 Cash/Surety bond
4. Paula Parsons- Deliver controlled substance, possession of controlled substance, keeping or maintaining a public nuisance – Felony- $100,000 Cash/Surety bond
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
I want to personally thank the citizens of Carter County for continuing to trust my team and I with information that helps us take this poison out of our communities. Your support makes operations like this possible, and I can promise you one thing — we will NOT tolerate drugs in this county.
A special thank you goes to the Van Buren Police Department, NPS, and the South-Central Drug Task Force for their assistance during these investigations and search warrant operations.
Most importantly, I want to recognize the deputies and investigators who put in the long hours away from their families to protect this county. Their work ethic, dedication, and commitment to this community are second to none.
To the dealers out there: Carter County is a bad place to do business.
— Sheriff Alonzo Bradwell
