Two people were arrested after Nixa police found a large amount of drugs at a residence.
Robert Allen Mitchell Jr., 35, of Nixa, and Melissa Ann Odinas, 26, of Las Vegas, Nevada, were both charged with ten felonies and three misdemeanors:
Five felony counts of first-degree drug trafficking.
Three felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon.
One felony count of delivery of a controlled substance except marijuana.
One felony count of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child involving drugs.
Three misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia
According to court documents, Nixa Police Department officers made a traffic stop on May 5 and arrested someone who told them that they purchased heroin from Mitchell. With this information, officers got a search warrant for Mitchell’s home in Nixa.
Four people were removed from the residence, including a 15-year-old boy. Officers found an AR-15 rifle, a long-barrel shotgun and multiple handguns — two of them loaded. They also found multiple pre-packaged illegal narcotics, drug paraphernalia, digital scales and a large amount of cash. When Mitchell was arrested, officers found a large amount of cash on him.
The suspected drugs the police found include:
Cocaine, 84 grams.
Fentanyl, 25 grams.
Heroin, 118.25 grams.
Methamphetamine, 443.5 grams.
Xanax, 45.75 grams.
LSD, 12 grams.
Mitchell and Odinas are being held at the Christian County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
