Tyler Franklin, Michael Perry among those arrested in two separate searches
The Hannibal Police Department has begun what it is calling an "assault" on drugs in the city, with six arrests.
Police Chief Lyndell Davis said Monday that a series of drug enforcement efforts happened between last Wednesday through Friday, after several months of narcotic distribution investigations by HPD ACES officers. Davis says that on Wednesday, those officers searched a home in the 1900 block of Broadway. Reportedly, meth, marijuana and a firearm were all found. 27-year old Tyler Franklin of Hannibal, 25-year old Shyann Standbridge of Hannibal and 29-year old Katie Bell of Quincy were all arrested. Standbridge and Bell were both released after the raid. Franklin faces 8 counts, inlcuding 3 counts of meth delivery and one count of unlawful use of a weapon. He's in the Marion County Jail on $210,000 bond, and will be back in court this Friday.
Davis says that last Friday, three more people were arrested after a search of an apartment on Carriage Road found heroin and marijuana. 38-year old Michael Perry of Hannibal faces one count of heroin delivery, and is in the Marion County Jail on $120,000 bond. He was in court Monday, and is due back in court Friday. 36-year old Kacey Wells and 41-year old Jeremy Keim, both of Hannibal, both face heroin possession charges, and are free pending a warrant.
Davis says ACES officers have more on-going investigations, and that more arrests are possible in the next few weeks.
