From Sheriff Mitch Nabors:

On April 9, 2025, deputies with the Itawamba County Sheriff's Department, along with agents from the North Mississippi Narcotics Unit and officers from the Fulton Police Department, executed an arrest warrant at 847 Highway 371 in Mantachie, MS.

During the operation, contact was made with Joshua Ryan Minchey and Marcus Janard Cherry. Mr. Minchey was found to be in possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, identified as methamphetamine. Mr. Cherry was also taken into custody after agents discovered a large quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.

Additionally, Bradford Presley, who was residing at the residence, was encountered during the operation. Agents obtained consent to search the home, resulting in the discovery of drug paraphernalia throughout the residence.

All three individuals were arrested and transported to the Itawamba County Jail. Charges and bond information are as follows:

- Marcus Janard Cherry: Charged with *Trafficking in a Schedule II Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine)*. Bond was set at $25,000.
