33 people arrested in Neshoba County narcotics bust



Thirty-three people were arrested over the weekend as part of a sweeping law enforcement operation. The operation targeted members of a drug trafficking organization responsible for distributing significant quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana in the Neshoba County area.

The arrests were led by the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, the Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office, the Philadelphia Police Department, the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The investigation, dubbed Operation High Life, is the result of ongoing Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) efforts, a partnership that brings together the combined expertise and unique abilities of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

“This investigation is about more than disrupting the flow of drugs being trafficked into and around our communities; it’s also about removing violent criminal elements that often accompanies transnational criminal activities,” said HSI New Orleans acting Special Agent in Charge Jack Staton.
