A collaboration between the Ozarks Drug Enforcement Team (ODET), the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and the Cassville Police Department yielded the discovery of two pounds of marijuana as well as other drugs and paraphernalia last week. Rachel Ellen Poe, 36, of Cassville, is charged with felony delivery of a controlled substance.
According to affidavits of probable cause, officers executed a narcotics search warrant at Poe’s residence on Gravel Street in Cassville on Wednesday, September 26. The search warrant was served after a USPS package delivery was made to the home. Officers observed Poe and the residence while the package was delivered and after.
Poe walked from the residence to a vehicle following the warrant deliver. Officers reported approaching the residence about five minutes after Poe went back in the home.
When officers entered the residence, Poe was in the living room with the USPS package, according to affidavits of probable cause. When the package was secured and opened, officers found a vacuum sealed package of marijuana and what they identified as THC edibles.
As officers continued to search, they also found more marijuana, paraphernalia and unknown pills. Officers reported the marijuana to weigh 650 grams and the pills were unidentified. All evidence was sent to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab for testing.
Poe is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $40,000 cash-only bond.
Commander Chad Allison, with ODET, reported the investigation is ongoing.
