Daylight drug bust today, just 4 blocks from Square

Columbia Police officers, Adair County Deputy Sheriff, and the Sheriff's Department K-9 Sonny, make arrest, seize firearms, over $14,000 cash, marijuana with estimated street value of over $8,000 in mid-afternoon raid

By Ed Waggener

Following a lengthy investigation, a combined force from the Columbia Police Department and the Adair County Sheriff's Department conducted a successful drug raid at 204 East Guardian Street in Columbia, at a residence within sight of the Adair County Courthouse, and just four blocks from the Columbia Public Square.

The raid took place at the red-shuttered home in the middle of one of Columbia's oldest and most respectable neighborhoods, one which was much quieter before the street became the second most travelled route between downtown and the Jamestown Street shopping centers.
