A cooperative effort on the part of the Farmington Police Department and the Alcorn County Narcotics Unit led to the arrest of a Corinth man on felony drug charges Friday night.
Law enforcement officials arrested Marcus Antonio McGaha, 20, of 202 Wick Street, in Corinth, and charged him with felony possesion of a controlled substance with intent to sell after McGaha, along with three other individuals, were stopped on Farmington Road and County Road 217 by Farmington Police Officer Keith Little, according to a report from the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office. The stop was intiated around 8:30-9:00 p.m. Friday night because of a traffic violation.
After the traffic stop was made, McGaha reportedly dropped a clear bag containing cocaine on the ground by the passenger door when he exited the vehicle. At that time, Deputy Danny Holloway and Officer Little ordered the four individuals to get down on the ground, and they were all handcuffed.
Alcorn County Narcotics Investigator Darrell Hopkins and the other officers spoke to all of the car’s occupants before releasing them and arresting McGaha.
McGaha was transported and charged. Bond has not been set and a hold has been placed on the subject by the Mississippi Department of Corrections due to him being on probation.
Alcorn County Sheriff Charles Rinhart said he appreciates the working relationship between the Farmington Police Department and Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office and he wanted to thank Farmington Police Chief Tony Holmes and his officers.
