The owner of the U Wrench It in Eldon has been indicted by a federal grand jury. According to Tammy Dickinson, the U.S. attorney for the western district of Missouri, 52 year old Earl Dewayne Witt of Eldon appeared in court Friday in Jefferson City. It was then that the indictment of possession of marijuana and intent to distribute was read. The alleged incident was dated back to July 26^th of this year. Dickinson cautions that the charge is simply accusation and not evidence of guilt. Evidence will now need to be produced and submitted to the federal jury who will then determine the guilt or innocence. The case was investigated by the Mid-Missouri Drug Task Force and the Miller County Sheriff’s Office.
