Two Arrested, Firearms Seized in Hinds Community College Dorm Search

RAYMOND — Raymond Police Department officers, with assistance from Hinds Campus Police, executed two search warrants on Hinds Community College dorm rooms Friday afternoon, recovering multiple firearms and arresting two suspects, authorities said.

The warrants were served at approximately 2:45 p.m. on February 6. Officers recovered a “significant amount of evidence,” including three firearms, the department said in a statement.

Authorities were able to consult surveillance cameras on both homes and businesses both inside and outside the city that helped them not only identify the suspects but track their movements as they allegedly committed the crimes they’re accused of.

Jeremiah Wilson, 19, of Jackson, and Tevyn Haymore, 18, of Greenwood, were taken into custody on auto burglary warrants. Police said additional charges are expected.

Authorities said they will contact anyone who may have been visited by the suspects, even if no property was taken, in an effort to compile accurate charges and recover stolen items.

In a statement, Raymond Police thanked the Hinds Campus Police, Hinds civilian employees who assisted in the investigation, and citizens who provided tips and video evidence.
