Man sentenced to three years in Department of Corrections after drug possession arrest

Mathew Mannering appeared in court on Monday for alleged probation violations after he was arrested in Moniteau County in April on multiple drug-related charges.

In April, the Moniteau County Sheriff’s Office and the Mid-Missouri Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at a property located on Moreau Cemetery Road off of Highway E, just north of Latham, Missouri.

Deputies found methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, marijuana, prescription controlled substances, digital scales, packaging materials, hand guns and a large sum of cash found with the drugs.

Mannering was sentenced to three years in the Department of Corrections for the violations.

Deputies said Mannering still has several felony drug-related charges pending and is awaiting trial.
