A case where police allegedly found 17 pounds of methamphetamine in a diaper bag in a Cyber Truck has moved to federal court.
Asia Schafer, 24, were charged in federal court last week with conspiracy to distribute and three counts of possession with the intent to distribute; while Kenneth Williams, 41, was charged with two counts of possession with the intent to distribute and one count of illegal gun possession.
Schafer was booked into the Cole County Jail on Friday, while Williams is not listed on a jail roster.
Court document in previous reporting say a Columbia police officer was monitoring traffic around 1:30 p.m. June 26 when a Tesla Cybertruck with dark windows was seen heading eastbound on Interstate 70 near the Stadium Boulevard exit. The statement says the tint in the windows was too dark and tested at 11% light transmittance, with state law requiring 35%.
The officer pulled over the vehicle at Broadway and Keene Street, the statement says. Schafer allegedly told police that she was coming from the park for lunch, but the officer wrote that he “had prior knowledge that the vehicle was coming from Kansas City and Schafer was lying.” She eventually stated she came from Kansas City, the statement says.
Law enforcement found about 17 pounds of methamphetamine in a diaper bag.
