Woodrow Gray

On Feb. 3, Woodrow Gray, 44, Appleton City, was arrested on a St. Clair County warrant charging him with class D felony possession of a controlled substance and class D misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Bond is set at $10,000 cash or surety.

The charges stem from an investigation the previous day when a St. Clair County deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle Gray was driving on Highway 82 near Roscoe. Members of the Mid Missouri Multi Jurisdictional Drug Task Force assisted deputies with the investigation and a small clear bag with a white powdery substance which field tested positive for methamphetamine was located along with a misdemeanor amount of marijuana in the vehicle.

Further investigation led to a search warrant being obtained for Gray’s residence on NW 601 Road, Appleton City. While the warrant was being served deputies located a large quantity of methamphetamine, a misdemeanor amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, firearms, and a large sum of cash in his residence. Additional formal charges are expected.
