EMPHASIS: Marijuana Arrest - - Cole County


On November 25, 2012, a trooper with the Missouri State Highway Patrol initiated a traffic stop near West Stadium Boulevard and Hyde Park Road in Jefferson City. After making contact with the driver, the smell of marijuana was detected emanating from inside the vehicle. A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed approximately one-half pound of marijuana. After a search warrant was obtained for the driver's residence, approximately 15 pounds of marijuana, distribution materials, and over $50,000 in cash was seized.
The driver, Clayton A. Schaben, 21, of, Jefferson City, MO, and the lone passenger, Katelin J. Borden, 22, Gainesville, FL, were arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. They are being held at the Cole County Jail until the posting of bond.
The charges for which Schaben and Borden have been 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.
