Shawn Williams, Troy Nesbitt each held in Marion County Jail
Two Northeast Missouri men are being held on drug charges, after a Friday morning raid on a Hannibal home by authorities.
Hannibal police identify the men as 48-year old Shawn Williams of Hannibal, and 50-year old Troy Nesbitt of Macon. In a statement, police say that just after 5:30 AM Friday, ACES officers and the HPD's Special Response Team raided a home in the 22 hundred block of Hope Street. Authorities say they found a large amount of what's believed to be meth, along with marijuana, paraphernalia and a hand gun. Williams was charged Friday with one count of Delivery of a Controlled Substance, while Nesbitt was charged Friday with counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Both are in the Marion County Jail on $50,000 bond. They'll both be arraigned Friday morning.
Two other people in the house, 29-year old Joanna Ortega and 21-year old Brenda Watkins, both of Hannibal, were arrested on paraphernalia counts. They've not yet been charged.
