An Alcorn County man previously charged in connection with the assault and robbery of an elderly Rienzi man now faces charges, along with two other individuals, in a second similar case.
Alcorn County Sheriff's Department Investigator Jerry Rogers said William Danny Whitaker, 51, of 211 County Road 520, Timmy Dale Whitaker, 44, of the same address and Sammy Patterson Jr., 59, of 1910 Rosedale St., Corinth, were all arrested Tuesday and charged with burglary and intent to commit larceny.
The three suspects are accused in the August 6, 2008, burglary of a home on County Road 303 in which an elderly resident was robbed of an unknown amount of cash. The victim suffered head trauma in the attack and was taken to The Med in Memphis, Tenn. He has since been released and has recovered.
Rogers noted William Danny Whitaker was also charged in connection with the June assault and robbery of an elderly man in Rienzi and was out on bond in that case when he was arrested in the current one. His bond in the earlier case has been revoked and is currently being held without bond.
Timmy Dale Whitaker was on parole for a previous conviction when he was arrested. Rogers said his parole was revoked and he was transferred to the state penitentiary at Parchman on Wednesday. Patterson has been released after posting a $20,000 bond.
Sheriff's Department investigators have also made arrests in several separate, unrelated drug cases in recent days. The following information was released by Narcotics Investigator Reggie Anderson.
- Officers with the sheriff's department went to a residence at 199 County Road 513 belonging to Joey Arnold, 29, in Biggersville to serve an arrest warrant on Benny Ray Ross, 34, on Oct. 28. While serving the warrant, a meth lab was discovered on the premises. Ross was arrested along with Michael Smith, 38, and Arnold. All were charged with possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. The charge will be enhanced because firearms were found inside the residence. Three long guns were seized from the home.
Ross is being held on a hold order from the Mississippi Department of Corrections. No bond has been set for Smith and Arnold has been released on a $10,000 bond.
Sheriff Charles Rinehart, Anderson, Investigator Darrell Hopkins, Chief Investigator Doug Mullins, Rogers and Deputies Lucas Wooten and Heath Thomas assisted in the case, along with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.
- On Friday, Oct. 31 the sheriff's department received information that methamphetamine was allegedly being manufactured at a residence at 122 County Road 552 in the Hinkle/ High Town area. Authorities conducted a knock and talk visit to the residence which led to a search of the residence and the discovery of numerous precursor chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine. The owner of the residence, Rodney Stokes, 23, and Shannon Voyles, 22, were both arrested and charged with possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture and felony child abuse. The Mississippi Department of Human Services and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics were also contacted. Rinehart, Anderson,
Hopkins, Rogers, Wooten, Thomas, Dole Moss, John Derrick, Keith Fields, Daniel Spencer and Mackie Sexton were involved in the case. Anderson and Hopkins are in charge of the investigation.
- On Oct. 26, Deputy and K-9 Officer Scott Brown saw two suspicious vehicles on Highway 2 Northeast. After stopping the vehicles, Brown's drug dog alerted on one of the vehicles, leading to the discovery of approximately four grams of cocaine. Shanna Osborne, 25, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance. Another male subject was detained and was released the next day without being charged.
Brown was assisted by deputies Terry Rider and Shane Crowe. Anderson and Hopkins are in charge of the investigation.
