VIDALIA— Vidalia Police responded to a frantic call for help from a motel guest at the Budget Inn on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 5, when the caller stated someone was in her room.

Vidalia Police Officers Lt. Spencer McAllister, Officers Roger McDonald Jr. and Daniel Lloyd responded to the call. Once on scene, officers made contact with the caller identified as Deanna Harrison. She appeared shaken and said she locked herself in the bathroom as someone was in her room. Upon clearing the room, Harrison was the only person inside. Officers noticed suspected methamphetamine on the table and detained Harrison.

After talking with Harrison, officers were walking by another room and saw a subject bagging up several pills through an open window curtain. Officers made contact with that room and spoke with Bryce Brown of Florida and Whitley Williams of Natchez. Upon Brown opening the door, officers could see several pills on the table, marijuana, a glass smoking pipe and other drug paraphernalia in plain view. Officers detained both Brown and Williams.

Brown and Williams were both arrested and charged with possession of schedule II (Adderall), possession of schedule IV (Xanax) and possession of a firearm while in possession of CDS. Harrison was arrested and charged with possession of schedule II (Methamphetamine).

“We will continue fighting hard every day to keep our community safe from drugs and all criminal elements,” said Chief Joey Merrill. “Those individuals seeking to commit crimes in our area should take note of that.”
