Henry County Sheriffs Office: Drug Search Warrant Executed in Windsor

According to Sheriff Kent Oberkrom, one person was arrested for a felony arrest warrant, in connection with a search warrant which was served on Wednesday afternoon at around 2:00 p.m., in the 400 block of South Smith Street, Windsor.

Shortly after 9:00 a.m., Deputy Lenny Kubilus was dispatched to the address and requested to conduct a well-being check of the resident living there, due to health concerns. While on-scene conducting the well-being check, Deputy Kubilus observed several items of drug paraphernalia laying around the residence, in plain view.

Deputy Kubilus requested an ambulance respond to the address to transport the resident, who was in need of immediate medical assistance and treatment. After the departure of the resident by ambulance, Deputy Kubilus, with the assistance of Sgt. Aaron Brown, applied for a search warrant for the address.

A search warrant was obtained later that afternoon, which authorized deputies to search the residence for marijuana, as well as items associated with its distribution and consumption. During the search warrant’s execution, a small quantity of marijuana, as well as numerous paraphernalia items, was discovered and seized.

Arrested was Allen Redick, age 43, of Kansas City, for a felony arrest warrant out of Polk County for Non-Support of a Child, who was at the address upon Deputy Kubilus’ arrival.

“Additional drug charges are pending against the resident at this time, in connection with the items observed in plain view, as well as the additional items discovered during this search warrant”, Sheriff Oberkrom stated.

Deputies which participated in the execution of the search warrant along with Sgt. Brown and Deputy Kubilus were Deputies Sheri Dody and Lonnie Barton.

Larry attended school in Nevada, graduating with the Class of 1960. Somewhat later he earned an Associate's Degree from Crowder College. He also served our country with a military commitment with the United States Navy where he was recipient of the Good Conduct Medal. Upon completion of his military duties he returned to this area working at various jobs until beginning employment with 3-M Company where he worked for nearly thirty years until his retirement.

Throughout his life Larry was actively involved in fire safety and firefighting and was a longtime member of the Compton Junction Volunteer Fire Department. For many years he taught Fire Safety Instruction at both Crowder College and the University of Missouri in Columbia. When time allowed he enjoyed trout fishing and spent as much time outdoors as possible. He loved studying the history of mining also. He was a great cook and loved to share recipes but most of all loved making holiday snacks to share with friends and neighbors - - - always personally delivered. He was the master of making “hot peanuts”
