Burfordville man arrested on state search warrant after finding 85 grams of cocaine at residence

A Burfordville man was arrested by Cape Girardeau Police Department officers with the assistance of Southeast Missouri Drug Task Force on a state search warrant where police found 85 grams of cocaine as well as various other drugs while searching a residence Friday, Sept. 13, in the 300 block of North West End Boulevard.

Collin Pearl, 21, was found after police executed a search warrant for the residence. The probable cause stated that cocaine was in plain view of the police when they performed the search.

According to the documents, Pearl allegedly first denied that there were any illegal items in the place until he was confronted about the cocaine. He then admitted it was there. The probable cause stated that after the residence was searched, police found 20 pounds of marijuana and marijuana wax, 85 grams of cocaine, 1.8 pounds of mushrooms and 13 Xanax pills.

"A Rock Island 1911 .45 caliber pistol with 8 rounds in the magazine was located next to the mushrooms and a large amount of marijuana," the document stated.

According to the same document, Pearl had two active failure-to-appear warrants. One of the warrants is for driving while revoked or suspended and exceeding the posted speed limit and the other warrant is for the purchase/attempt to purchase or possession of liquor by a minor.

Pearl is being held on a $202,800 bond, according to the Cape Girardeau County jail.
