Wolfe was arrested by a Boone County deputy who stopped a truck that was using a passenger car license plate.

During the investigation of the illegal license, it was determined that an active probation violation warrant for Wolf'e's arrest was outstanding. Wolfe was a passenger in the vehicle stopped for using illegal license plates. The original charge against

Wolfe for the probation violation was for a drug-related offense.

Based on the active probation violation warrant, Wolfe was arrested.

During a routine search after his arrest, the Boone County Sheriff's Department reported Wolfe had several packages of marijuana concealed on his person. The marijuana, which had a weight in excess of 35 grams, was packaged and concealed in a manner that indicated Wolfe's intent to distribute the marijuana, the department reported.

In addition to his arrest for probation violation, Wolfe was arrested by the Boone County Sheriff's Department for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.

Wolfe is currently in Boone County Jail. His bond for the probation arrest warrant is set at $25,000. The bond for the charge of possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute will be set later by a judge.

On Feb. 11, 2008, Wolfe pleaded guilty to a felony charge of distributing a controlled substance after his arrest by the Callaway County Sheriff's Department. He was sentenced to five years in the Missouri Department of Corrections but the execution of the sentence was suspended and he was placed on five years of supervised probation.

His probation was revoked after he was arrested on another charge and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

On July 29, 2009, Wolfe pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of up to 35 grams of marijuana on April 13, 2008, and was sentenced to five days in the Callaway County Jail after his arrest by Fulton Police. He also was sentenced to five days in jail on July 29, 2009, after pleading guilty to unlawful use of drug paraphernalia on April 13, 2008.

Wolfe pleaded guilty on April 20, 2006, to marijuana possession and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and was sentenced to two days on each charge in the Callaway County Jail. He was arrested on that charge by Fulton Police.
