On 3/1/2017, the Bates County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at 114 S Fulton Street Butler Mo 64730.
The search warrant was in connection to a multiple month long investigation between Bates County Detectives and Taskforce Agents from the CNET Drug Taskforce.

| Victor Recinos |
Two separate investigations began to merge into one early on in the investigation.

| Phillip W
Thornburg |
Multiple
complaints were received and information was developed in regards to
drug activity at 114 S Fulton in Butler. On a separate investigation
information was received about drug activity at multiple locations in
Rich Hill that were owned by the same person.
Approximately a
month ago at a monthly round table meeting CNET Agents working with area
agencies like Butler Police Department, Bates County Sheriff Office and
Rich Hill Police Department were able to connect the two investigations
with shared information. This information assisted in obtaining a
search warrant for 114 S Fulton Butler Missouri.
As the members
of the Bates County Sheriff’s Office executed the search warrant two
male subjects were at the kitchen table in the middle of a drug
transaction. Both males were taken into custody at the scene.
One male
subject was transported to the hospital with minor injuries and the
other male was taken to the Bates County Sheriff’s Office. The resident
of 114 S Fulton was identified as Phillip W Thornburg W/M 8/25/1961. The
other male subject identified as Leon D Berry W/M 9/7/1964.
At
approximately 130pm surveillance teams followed Berry from Rich Hill to
the house in Butler. After Berry had been at the house for a short time
Deputies executed the search warrant at the house. The long term
investigation led Detectives to believe that Thornburg had been

purchasing
and selling Methamphetamines at his house in Butler. The investigators
were able to develop information that over the last several months Berry
had been delivering methamphetamines to Thornburg in Butler.
During
the search of the residence multiple bags of methamphetamines were
seized along with digital scales, glass pipes and a small amount of cash
and a counterfeit $100 bill.
After Detectives completed a
search of the residence at 114 S Fulton Butler, they responded to the
residence of Leon Berry located at 805 East Walnut Rich Hill Missouri. A
consent search of that residence located a small bag of
methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. One subject was
arrested on an outstanding warrant for possession of a controlled
substance. A second location, a shop owned by Berry located at 6th and
Maple Street was also searched by Detectives.
Phillip W
Thornburg was charged with Possession of a Controlled substance and
possession of drug paraphernalia, bond was set at $10,000 cash or
surety.
Leon D. Berry was charged with Distribution of a
controlled substance in a protected location, Possession of a controlled
substance, Unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and forgery, bond was set
at $50,000 cash or surety.
Victor Recinos was arrested on an outstanding warrant for possession of a controlled substance with a bond of $10,000.
Additional charges may be filed at a later date as the investigation is ongoing.
“This
was a team effort, says Sheriff Chad Anderson. Calls from citizens and
multiple agencies getting together to share information led to a
successful investigation. Law Enforcement from this community is
committed to working together to protecting our citizens.”
Independence Street from Wall Street to Mechanic Street in Harrisonville will be closed to traffic on Friday morning, March 3, from 7 a.m. to noon.
A concrete pumper truck and other equipment will be blocking the roadway.
Please find a alternate route around this area.
