EMPHASIS: Two Subjects Arrested Following Search Warrant In Johnson County


On August 9, 2007, at approximately 1:30 p.m., members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Troop A Marijuana Eradication Team, and the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department served a search warrant in rural Johnson County at a residence. Evidence of an indoor marijuana growing operation was located inside the residence.
Christopher T. Kennedy, 33, and Jamie J. Kennedy, 32, of Centerview, Missouri, were arrested for manufacturing a controlled substance, keeping a public nuisance, and child endangerment. Both subjects were transported to the Johnson County Jail and placed on a 24-hour hold.
The charges for which Christopher T. Kennedy and Jamie J. Kennedy were arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty it is to determine guilt or innocence.
