Early on the morning of Thursday, October 19, Deputies with the Leake County Sheriff’s Office in conjunction with The Carthage Police Department served a narcotics search warrant on an Old Canton Rd. home in the City of Carthage.
When deputies completed the search, they found a white powder substance. The substance was field tested and the test results showed that the powder was cocaine. There were also multiple pieces of drug paraphernalia found in the home.
Two individuals who were at the home at the time of the search, Mr. Anthony Henry and Mr. Joey Lindsey were arrested and charged with narcotics charges.
Sheriff Randy W. Atkinson and The Leake County Sheriff’s Office work very closely with Chief Billy McMillan and the Carthage Police Department as well as other agencies in its effort to combat the current drug problem.
Sheriff Randy W. Atkinson and his staff at the Leake County Sheriff’s Office will continue to work with any law enforcement agency in its effort to prosecute narcotics cases within Leake County.
“Whether it be in within the city limits or out in the county, the Leake County Sheriff’s Office will put forth the effort to find and prosecute drug offenders.”
