Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies will be holding a press conference on Monday to provide an update on last week’s “warrant sweep” in Columbia.
The press conference will be held at 1:30 p.m. at City Hall in Columbia.
Last Thursday and Friday, federal, state and local law enforcement made multiple arrests for felony warrants, including gun-related offenses.
The sweep came two days after a federal grand jury indicted 10 people in Mid-Missouri for drug and gun crimes. The indictments stem from cases in Boone, Cole and Cooper counties.
On Thursday, ABC 17 News saw seven people appear in federal court in Jefferson City. Three of the defendants — Tyrone Sabb, Thomas Abbey Jr. and Justin Shelton — are charged with illegal gun possession and were named in newly unsealed federal court documents. Prosecutors say all three men are connected with an alleged stolen-gun ring linked to incidents between March 17-20.
