Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following press release:
Deputies Arrest Man for Possession of Meth and Stolen Property
The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office arrested William Justin Tillman W/M 37 years old Wednesday May 21, 2014 at his Florence residence. TILLMAN is being charged with possession of stolen property, possession of controlled substance with intent, possession of paraphernalia and maybe facing federal weapons charges. TILLMAN was sentenced by the Rankin County Circuit Court to serve 10 years with five suspended in 2001 for a sale of cocaine charge.
Investigators with the Sheriff’s office were following up on a lead regarding narcotics at TILLMAN’S residence. TILLMAN consented to a search of the residence. Upon entering the residence, deputies located drug paraphernalia and methamphetamine residue on a living room table. In addition to the narcotics in plain view, plastic baggies, electronic scales and additional methamphetamine were located. The search also revealed a total of 19 long guns and hand guns. Of those 19, four were previously listed as stolen. The remainder of the weapons were seized in order to submit the serial numbers to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) for background checks. In addition to the weapons, numerous television, car and home electronics along with jewelry items were recovered. Deputies also seized two vehicle unlock kits from the residence. It appears the majority of the stolen items were taken from outside of Rankin County. Investigators are looking into the possibility that TILLMAN was operating some type of “pawn” business where he was trading stolen merchandise for narcotics. TILLMAN will be held without bond until his initial appearance with Rankin County Judge Kent McDaniel.

Good work, Rankin County. Hope it turned up some items from burglaries in Jackson -- cars and houses.82969233
Murder of the JSU professor in Madison the city, then the political scandal in Madison drawing national attention, now a drug bust in Rankin...apparently Whole Foods is saving Northeast Jackson after all...
The suburbs are LOST. What a shame
Maybe so but the folks at the east end of Meadowbrook Road will be the first to have their homes occupied. One angry old man standing out there telling the advancing forces that they "don't get it" won't last more than one hour.
You really should stay on your meds 8:46 pm
If we were smart enough to be able to have a house " at the east end of Meadowbrook" do you think we lack the ability and resources and foresight to deal with your imaginary " advancing forces" long before they advance?
There is a clear and convincing association between drugs, Camaros and '84 Pontiacs. This ain't an Easter Egg Hunt, but you will find the drugs all over the Metro, the Camaros in Rankin and the Pawntiacs in Hinds.
Camaros run meth, ice and speed. Pawntiacs run coke and weed.
Both have horns.
Toot.
