Felony Arrest 08-18-2008

On August 7th two men were arrested after the report of an incident the night before from a CR 8021 residence that reported someone had shot into their residence with a shotgun. The two men William Joseph Godwin age 41 and Justin William Godwin age 22 both of 106 CR 420 Corinth were charged with shooting into an occupied dwelling. There was also charges of Telephone Harassment, Willful Trepass and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, filed against the younger Godwin. He also was on probation out of Alcorn County and a hold was placed on him. The Father was also charged with Willful Trepass and Telephone Harassment. Justin Godwin remains in custody on a $101,000 bond, while his father is free on a $101,500 Bond. The case will be presented to the next Grand Jury. The Deputies and investigators responding to the incident did an excellent job and are to be commended. We were very thankful no one was hurt in the incident.

On the past Thursday August 14th Gary Brian Lee age37 of Rienzi, Aurthur Skippy Murphy age 60 of Booneville and Ricky Wayne Davis age 30 of Corinth were arrested by Narcotics Investigators and Deputies at a residence on CR 8050 and charged with possession of precursors (Chemicals used to manufacture Methamphetamine). Davis has no bond set, Lee was released on $5,000 bond. Murphy's bond was set at $2,500 on the charge of Conspiracy and $2,500 on Possession of Precursors. Davis was also charged with possession of controlled substance. This was a great job on behalf of all the Officers involved.
