Pettis County deputies were dispatched to a 911 call at Budget Inn, 4710 South Limit, on a subject with information regarding someone with a warrant.

According to a report, the reporting party advised he was in one of the motel rooms and observed a male and female with a large amount of crystal substance and the male said he was wanted in Kansas.

Deputies cleared the room and located the male hiding under a bed. He was identified as Kristopher G. Paxton of Sedalia. He was wanted on a Pettis County warrant with no bond.

Deputies located over 120 grams of a crystal substance inside the room.
