Joint Investigation Results in Arrest of Grant City Man
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control announces the arrest of Dillon Phineas Schrock, 21, of Grant City, Missouri. On August 9, 2017, Schrock was arrested for possession of controlled substances and unlawful possession of a firearm. The arrest was the result of a joint investigation conducted by investigators of the Division of Drug and Crime Control and deputies of the Worth County Sheriff’s Office.
On Wednesday, August 9, 2017, after a short-term narcotics investigation, a search warrant was executed at Schrock’s residence located in rural Worth County, in the 27000 block of Highway 46. As a result of the search warrant, investigators seized five firearms, Amphetamine and Zolpidem pills, marijuana, and $2,650 dollars of U.S. Currency. Schrock was arrested and transported to the Worth County Sheriff’s Office.
On Thursday, August 10, 2017, the Worth County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office formally charged Schrock with two counts of possession of controlled substance and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm. Bond was set at $20,000. Schrock is currently being held at the Ringgold County Jail, in Mount Ayr, Iowa. Schrock is being housed in Iowa, based upon a standing agreement between both states and the sheriff’s offices.
The above charges 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.
