TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO WEAPON CHARGES

October 12, 2020

On October 7, 2020, Tishomingo County Deputies along with the Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) conducted a traffic stop for moving violations on CR 321.  During the stop, officers determined that the driver of the vehicle had a CAPIAS WARRANT for his arrest due to a recent indictment by the Grand Jury.  Also, officers recovered a firearm from the driver, which was being worn at the time of the stop.  Officers later discovered that the driver of the vehicle had recently pled GUILTY to a FELONY drug charge in Alabama.  Both the driver and passenger were then transported to the Tishomingo County Jail.

DANIEL SCOTT DARLING, 32-year-old, white male of 919 Carolyn Street Tuscumbia, Alabama was officially charged with POSSESSION OF A WEAPON BY CONVICTED FELON.  DARLING was also served his CAPIAS from the Grand Jury for AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE).  The Tishomingo County Justice Court issued a $5,000 FELONY bond on the new charge.  The Circuit Court bond of $40,000 was issued in the indictment by the Grand Jury.

The District Attorney's Office in Colbert County, Alabama has also issued a hold on DARLING pending review of violating his terms of probation due to his recent FELONY plea agreement.
