Two Arrested on Drug Trafficking Charges

Following an intensive two-month investigation, members of the Crime Resolution Unit have arrested two individuals believed to be central figures in a drug trafficking operation that brought methamphetamine into the Sedalia community, according to a press release issued Friday afternoon around 4:20 p.m.

Investigators employed a combination of surveillance, search warrants, and other investigative tools to identify and monitor the activities of Dillon M. Naylor and Delanie K. M. Swisegood. Both were ultimately arrested on May 29, 2025, following a traffic stop tied to the ongoing case.

The investigation gained significant traction on April 9, when officers observed Swisegood meeting with a male subject in Sedalia. Shortly after the encounter, officers initiated a traffic stop on the man, identified as 41-year-old Charles McCroskey.

During the stop, McCroskey was found to be in possession of more than one ounce of a methamphetamine/fentanyl mixture, which investigators believe he obtained from Swisegood.

McCroskey was arrested and state charges were submitted, including: Trafficking Drugs in the Second Degree Possession of a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine) Possession of a Controlled Substance (Fentanyl) Tampering with Physical Evidence Throughout the month of May, investigators continued gathering evidence against both Swisegood and Naylor.
