A 46-year-old Ravenwood, Missouri man is being held on charges of child endangerment, child molestation and possession of a controlled substance.
According to court documents filed in Nodaway County Circuit Court, Gary Alan Koebel was in possession of methamphetamine in a residence in which two persons under the age of seventeen reside. Investigators also say Koebel had fondled a nine-year-old girl.
A Sheriff’s deputy says that the drugs were discovered during the investigation of the other case, and witnesses established probable cause that the meth was the property of Mr Koebel.
A first court appearance is scheduled November 18. Bond was set at $50,000 on the child molestation case and $25,000 for the drug charge.
