EMPHASIS: Felony Marijuana Arrest In Boone County


On October 29, 2008, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop F Eradication Team arrested two individuals at a residence in Columbia, MO. Arrested was William J. Saracini, 55, of Columbia, MO, and Kim B. Saracini, 59, of Columbia, MO. They were released pending the issuance of arrest warrants.
The Saracinis were arrested after troopers conducted an investigation that led to the locating of marijuana and paraphernalia inside the Saracini residence. They were arrested for felony possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The charges for which the Saracinis were arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of these charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
