According to Missouri Casenet, charges were filed in a March 8 drug possession case on April 12.
Defendant William Cooksey III has been charged with two counts of delivery of a controlled substance.
According to the probable cause statement taken by arresting officer Jason Maskey, Cooksey was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for speeding at Powerline Road and State Highway B.
Maskey reported that Cooksey had two outstanding no bond warrants as well as a drug warrant at which point he moved forward with an arrest. Cooksey told officers there was a bag underneath the front seat of the vehicle before a probable cause search could be conducted.
The bags’ contents included a plastic bag of a crystalline substance the officer suspected was methamphetamine and approximately 70 multi-color capsules and other drug paraphernalia. Cooksey admitted that the pills contained Fentanyl.
Officers also found $960 in cash in the vehicle. Maskey wrote in his report that the items seized in his experience were consistent with the distribution of illegal narcotics.
No hearing or trial dates have been scheduled yet.
