An early morning raid on Monday resulted in two arrests with more

expected in the near future.

Agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, troopers with the

Mississippi Highway Patrol and deputies with the Wayne County Sheriff's

Department worked together to execute a raid in Buckatunna in the early

morning hours Monday. Two suspects were booked into the Wayne County

Adult Detention Center but their names were not being released due to

the investigating continuing.

Both suspects were booked into the jail shortly after 7 a.m.

According to sources, the raid is part of an ongoing investigation into

drug sales in the area. Some suspects are still being sought, including

some federal arrest warrants waiting to be executed by authorities.

Law enforcement blocked off entrances to the area, including blocking

Lacey Road off Highway 45, in order to keep unnecessary personnel and

people from entering the area for safety concerns.

A SWAT Team and a vehicle with the ability to enter buildings and knock

blockades was deployed to the scene.

This is an ongoing investigation and officials are not releasing

information at this time.
