Camdenton, MO - 5-01-25 - Sheriff Chris Edgar is proud to announce the arrest of another drug trafficker in Camden County.  Yesterday afternoon, April 30th, Camden County Deputies and Task Force Officers from the Mid Missouri Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force served a search warrant at The Peanut Gallery, a business on North Highway 5, Camdenton. In addition to being the business location, the Peanut Gallery also serves as the residence of suspected drug trafficker, 54-year-old Jennifer L Schanuel.

During the service of the search warrant deputies seized 54.5 grams of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia including a scale and a pipe commonly used for smoking methamphetamine, and four firearms.

Schanuel was arrested and transported to the Camden County Adult Detention Facility where she is charged with the Class C Felony of 2nd Degree Drug Trafficking and four counts of the Class E Felony of Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Schanuel is being held without bond.

This arrest and these charges are the result of a months-long investigation involving the cooperation of several law enforcement agencies.
