Camdenton, Mo. — A 54-year-old woman is facing serious charges after a drug trafficking investigation led to the discovery of over 54 grams of methamphetamine and multiple firearms inside her Camdenton antique store, which also served as her residence.
On Wednesday afternoon, April 30, Jennifer L. Schanuel was arrested after law enforcement executed a search warrant at The Peanut Gallery, located at 8297 N.
