After searches, Police make three drug arrests

Columbia police made three drug arrests and issued a summons to another suspect after serving two search warrants Thursday.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Keith Bail charged Christopher William Bichsel, 20, and Cameron Jacob Steinwand, 22, with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. The two men were arrested at 6:40 p.m. Thursday during the search of a house in the 1600 block of Citadel Drive.

Additional charges are being considered against the two men, Bail said.

Robert Eugene Schoebinger, 20, was issued a summons for misdemeanor marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia during the same search.

Police found approximately 2-1/4 pounds of marijuana, prescription pills packaged for sale, drug paraphernalia, a .22-caliber rifle and $2,435 inside the home, according to a news release.

Bichsel and Steinwand were released from Boone County Jail Saturday after posting $20,000 bail.

During the search of a residence in the 400 block of Sexton Road, officers arrested Orlandis James Harris, 23, on suspicion of felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

Harris was released from Boone County Jail after he posted $6,000 bail Friday morning.
