TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO FELONY DRUG ARREST

August 23, 2019

On August 16, 2019, Tishomingo County Sheriff’s deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that was swerving into oncoming traffic on CR 23.  During the traffic stop, deputies checked both the driver and passenger and learned they both had prior drug arrests.  Deputies were noticing that both the driver and the passenger were appearing like they were hiding something in the vehicle, so deputies asked for both of them to step out of the vehicle at this time.  A search of the vehicle was then conducted and deputies found some alleged METHAMPHETAMINE hidden in the console of the vehicle.  Both the driver and the passenger were then transported to the Tishomingo County Jail.

JEFFERY GOBER, 45-year-old, white male of 578 CR 864 Belmont, Mississippi was officially charged with FELONY POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE (METHAMPHETAMINE).  GOBER’s bond was set by the Tishomingo County Justice Court at $3,500.

MARK DAVES, 58-year-old, white male of 312 Carroll Road Fulton, Mississippi was officially charged with FELONY POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE (METHAMPHETAMINE).  DAVES’ bond was also set by the Tishomingo County Justice Court at $3,500.
