Mississippi Highway Patrol’s Commercial Transportation Enforcement Division made a monumental find earlier this month as they worked the roads in North Mississippi.
On November 14, 2024, CTED’s Criminal Interdiction Officers stopped a truck towing an enclosed trailer on Highway 72 in Tishomingo County.
A roadside investigation led to probable cause for a search, revealing illegal narcotics, a handgun, and body armor.
The driver, an Oklahoma resident, was arrested and charged with possession of 7 grams of cocaine and felony trafficking of 1,100 pounds of marijuana.
