was issued by the 28th
Judicial Court for possession of a controlled substance. According to a
press release from the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, Michael W King,
56 of Schell City was arrested at a residence in Schell City by
Sheriff’s Deputies and transported to the Vernon County Jail without
incident. According to Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher, his office
had received multiple calls from residents in the county of suspicious
activity in the area and after following up on those leads, the CNET
drug task force and investigators from the Sheriff’s Office were
assigned to the case. King is being held in the county jail on a $25,000
cash only bond. “This all started with observant citizens so this is
another good example of what can be accomplished when citizens and law
enforcement work together” said Mosher.
