EMPHASIS: Crawford County Residents Arrested on Drug Charges


Following a lengthy investigation, on September 16, 2007, Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers, along with officers from the Missouri State Water Patrol and Crawford County Sheriff’s Department, arrested two Crawford County residents on drug charges.
At approximately 8 p.m., a search warrant was served at the residence of Joanne M. Gillam, 52, of Davisville, Missouri, as a result of evidence that she was growing marijuana. Also living at the Gillam home was Brock A. Snyder, 25, also of Davisville. A total of 25 marijuana plants, processed marijuana, and other drug-related items were located during the investigation.
Gillam was arrested for felony manufacturing marijuana, felony possession of marijuana, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Snyder was arrested for felony manufacturing marijuana, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The investigation revealed that Snyder was also in the possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Both Gillam and Snyder were incarcerated in the Crawford County Jail following their arrests.
The charges for which Gillam and Snyder were arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of their guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
