On Friday, May 3, at approximately 11:30 p.m. a Howell County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop in Willow Springs, on a blue Dodge truck for a non-visible/working third brake light. After the vehicle stopped, the deputy approached the vehicle and also observed an expired Missouri License registration. The driver was identified as 43-year-old Darrel Mohesky.
According to the report, Mohesky immediately started getting aggravated and refused to step out of the vehicle when instructed several times. Additional deputies were requested. When additional backup arrived, Mohesky ultimately complied and two edged weapons were removed from Mohesky's person.
Corporal Weaver and his K9 partner Ares, conducted a free air sniff of Mohesky’s vehicle and alerted to the presence of narcotics. A search of the vehicle was conducted, and deputies located a black box which contained digital scales, a glass pipe, along with a large plastic bag containing over an ounce (on non-certified scales) of a white crystalline substance, which field tested positive for methamphetamine.
Mohesky was placed on a 24-hour hold, pending warrant, at the Howell County Detention Center for Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
