A stop for speeding in Livingston County turned into a drug bust in which officers say they found suspected “Ecstacy” pills in a Pez dispenser.
Sheriff Steve Cox said the incident happened on July 4 along U.S. Highway 36 near Highway CC. Deputy Nicholas Leadbetter clocked a speeding vehicle from New Mexico at 90 in a 65 mph zone. Further investigation led to a search of the vehicle.
Cox says they’ve seized “Dab,” or THC oil, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and several pills in a Pez dispenser. Cox says the pills are suspected to be Ecstasy, but that will require confirmation from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab prior to any possible criminal charges.
The people int he vehicle were issued citations for marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession and were released.
