ST. LOUIS – Cody Wayne Seabaugh, 31, of Hannibal, Missouri, was sentenced to 84 months in prison for possession with the intent to distribute over 50 grams of methamphetamine. The Hannibal Police Department investigated this case, assisted by the Illinois State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration, St. Louis Division. 

According to court documents, in July 2017, the Hannibal Missouri Police Department initiated an investigation into Seabaugh’s methamphetamine possession and distribution activities. As part of that active and on-going investigation, Hannibal police officers received information on October 4, 2017, that, among other things, Seabaugh had been involved in a vehicle accident, ran from the scene holding a bag, and was beating on residential doors in the area.  When police eventually located Seabaugh, he was lying in the street. Officers observed plastic bags strewn about around Seabaugh in the roadway. Officers also saw a black and pink zip-up bag lying in the street.

Inside the black and pink zip-up bag, officers found and seized several bags containing approximately 126 grams of methamphetamine, a scale, more baggies, and U.S. currency. Seabaugh was arrested and a subsequent search of Seabaugh’s mobile phone discovered additional information confirming Seabaugh’s drug trafficking activities.
