Close surveillance netted the arrests of three subjects in a stolen vehicle on meth charges Monday by the Alcorn Narcotics Unit.
According to a report from the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office, officers arrested Donald Wayne Davidson Jr., 18, of 1083 North Prather Street in Michie, Tenn.; Tommy Lyne Woods, 32, of Federal Drive in Shiloh, Tenn.; and Tammy Lynette Rayney, 19, of 1140 Bark Drive, in Shiloh, Tenn., Monday and charged them with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
Events leading the arrest reportedly began when officers with the Alcorn Narcotics Unit observed the three subjects, Davidson, Woods and Rayney, traveling to several different Corinth stores to purchase the same item — an item known to be used in the process of making methamphetamine.
The driver, who was identified in the report as Davidson, made several stops and turned at several businesses around U.S. Highway 72 and Harper Road, as an apparent attempt to throw off anyone who could be following.
Narcotics Investigator Darrell Hopkins said Davidson made abrupt stops, turns and lane changes as an attempt to lose anyone who could be following them.
Several officers reportedly followed the suspects from a distance and, after watching the subjects purchase the items and drive north on Shiloh Road, officers asked K/9 Officer Scott Brown and Deputy Steve Odle to stop the car.
After the car was stopped and approached by law enforcement, Davidson reportedly informed officers that he did not have a driver’s license. Law enforcement gained consent to search the vehicle. The search turned up boxes of pseudoephedrine from different stores.
After speaking to the occupants, it was determined the purpose of the trip to Corinth was to buy items for other individuals in Tennessee to cook methamphetamine, according to Hopkins.
All three were arrested and charged, it was later discovered that Woods was an escaped inmate from Hinds County, who was on probation on a possession of cocaine charge.
Bond was set at $10,000 each by Justice Court Judge Steve Little.

Tenn. couple arrested on drug charges
Suspicious purchases were among the factors that assisted the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office in the arrest of a Tennessee man and woman on drug charges Thursday evening.
Deputies with the Alcorn County Narcotics Unit arrested Christopher Perry Hawkins, 40, and Angela Ann Marcum, 42, both of 3285 Muddy Ridge Road, in Pocahontas, Tenn. Both suspects were charged with conspiracy to manufacture a controlled substance. Hawkins was additionally charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, according to a report from the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office.
Events leading to the arrests began around 5:30 p.m. Thursday evening when the Alcorn County Narcotics Unit reportedly received information that the two aforementioned subjects where purchasing items known to be used in the manufacture of methamphetamine from a local business. Law enforcement arrived and observed the two suspects as they went into another store and purchased more items before they left. Officers followed the suspects as they traveled west on U.S. Highway 72, in a 1991 Volvo. The driver, who has been identified Hawkins, according to the report, was driving erratically — moving from one lane to the other and not signaling — and turned into a store, causing traffic to slam on brakes to keep from hitting the car.
The suspects were stopped by law enforcement and found that Hawkins had reportedly been drinking and also had a revoked license. After officers asked Hawkins to step out, Deputy Danny Holloway found a blue canister with two bags of meth inside. The items to be used for meth production were reportedly taken from the car, where they had been hidden in the glove box.
Both subjects were arrested and charged by Alcorn Narcotics Investigator Darrell Hopkins and taken to the Alcorn County Jail. Bond was set by Justice Court Judge Jimmy McGee. Hawkins’s bond was set at $30,000, reportedly due to the fact that he had a lengthy criminal history dealing with deadly weapons, drug possession and other felonies. Marcum’s Bond was set at $5,000.
