COUPLE ARRESTED FOR DRUGS AND WARRANTS

October 15, 2018

On October 12, 2018, Tishomingo Sheriff deputies conducted a traffic stop on CR 209 for driving on the roadway with a busted windshield.  After the traffic stop, deputies began speaking with the driver and passenger of the vehicle and learned that the passenger was giving the officers the wrong information as to who he was.  Deputies finally learned that the passenger had several outstanding WARRANTS in both Alcorn County, Town of Burnsville, as well as being listed as a WANTED PERSON out of the State of Tennessee.  A search of the vehicle turned up some alleged METHAMPHETAMINE in the coat pocket of the driver and a backpack identified by the passenger as his property, had contained inside a pair of “brass knuckles”.   Both the driver and passenger were then transported to the Tishomingo County Jail.

DOTTIE LYNN POWERS, 42-year-old, white female of 295 Eastport Street Burnsville, Mississippi was officially charged with FELONY POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE (METHAMPHETAMINE).  POWERS’ bond was set at $3,000.00 by Justice Court.

KENNETH KEITH VANDIVER, 38-year-old, white male of 60 CR 271 Corinth, Mississippi was officially charged with POSSESSION OF WEAPON BY CONVICTED FELON.  VANDIVER’s bond was set at $5,000.00 by Justice Court.  VANDIVER is currently on probation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections.  VANDIVER is currently incarcerated at the Tishomingo County Jail.
