State and local law enforcement agencies converged on six locations in Adams County early Friday morning as a part of an investigation into “violations of various state laws,” the Adams County Sheriff’s Office reported.
Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten said deputies of the sheriff’s office, Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, Mississippi Highway Patrol and Mississippi Highway Patrol Special Operations Group arrived on Ann Holden Lane in Natchez before daylight to conduct a search warrant.
Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics officers also executed a warrant in Wilkinson County in relation to the same investigation.
The residence on Ann Holden Lane was one of six locations wherein law enforcement gathered evidence. Patten said although he could not release the exact address of the residences, he could release the street names.
Law enforcement searched residences on Pilgrim Boulevard, Oakland Drive, Lower Woodville Road, Gardner Circle and Tate Road along with the Ann Holden location.
Patten said the locations were all a part of a single, ongoing investigation.
“We are currently evaluating any and all evidence collected and will make decisions on possible charges after consultation with the district attorney’s office and any other agencies having an interest in our findings,” Patten said in a statement.
No arrests were made at any of the seven locations, Patten said, but the investigation is still active.
Though Patten would not release any information about the evidence gathered at the scene on Ann Holden Lane, several vehicles were towed away in the course of the search warrant’s execution. Among the vehicles confiscated by the sheriff’s office: a red Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck,a white Dodge Ram truck, a black SUV, a white Chevrolet Camaro, a motorcycle and a two-seated three-wheeler.
