Friday night Prentiss County Reserve Deputy Grady Smith arrested David Hall Age 45 of Wheeler at his home. Deputy Smith arrested Hall an outstanding Circuit Court Capias. Smith discovered several approx. 7 grams of ICE - Methamphetamine when he search Hall. That amount had a street value of about $700. Once he had Hall in custody, Narcotics Investigator Joey Clark was contacted and a search warrant was obtained. During the search of the shop and residence, Smith discovered almost a pound of ICE with a street value of Approx. $38,000. The ICE was found hidden is a barbeque grill on the premises. Officers was surprised to see this quality. This is the largest amount of methamphetamine every seized in Prentiss County. This made a significant dent in the Drug Trafficking in Prentiss County. Hall had been under investigation for some time now.
In addition to the drugs, a stolen pistol from Booneville and almost $4,000 cash was seized. Numerous other Officers assisted in the case. I am so thrilled that this investigation netted such a find and proud of the Officers and their fine job. Hall was out on bond on numerous other charges, prior to this arrest, therefore bond has been denied. This is a major player, who has prior drug convictions.
Also arrested was Kim West of Baldwyn, whose bond was set at $25,000. Both were charged with Possession of Controlled substance with intent to distribute.
