Arrested following execution of a drug-related search warrant March 31 in the 200 block of West Marvin Avenue in Owensville were Timothy R. Wood and Margaret Wood. The pair each face a class D felony charge of possession of a controlled substance and class A misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia.

According to the probable cause statement by a task force officer with the Lake Area Narcotics Enforcement Group (LANEG), the warrant was executed in partnership with Owensville Police Department (OPD) and Gasconade County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO).

LANEG reports making contact with Margaret Wood initially and Timothy Wood arriving on site shortly thereafter.

Reportedly discovered during the execution of the search warrant were a metal container holding a crystal substance in the bedroom, a digital scale on a table in an upstairs room and a glass smoking device containing powder residue inside a plastic storage container along with loose crystal material wrapped in a paper towel and stored inside a metal container, all located in the basement. LANEG reports each item field testing positive for methamphetamine. GCSO reported the amount of methamphetamine confiscated to be approximately one-half gram.

Warrants were issued and served April 1 with bond set at $10,000 for each suspect and both were taken into custody at Franklin County Detention Center. Margaret Wood was released on bond and the court has noted a date of April 29 was provided for the next hearing. A bond review hearing has been scheduled for today (Wednesday, April 8) at 9 a.m. with Judge Ada Brehe-Krueger presiding.
