Pearl police officers made a million dollar drug bust last night. Pearl PD issued this statement on its Facebook page:
Pearl Police Narcotics Detectives stopped this 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche earlier today. Pearl K-9, Splinter, alerted on the vehicle and discovered was just over 47 lbs of liquid meth and approximately 53 lbs of marijuana, an estimated street value of approximately 1 million dollars. Pearl Police Narcotics were assisted by Rankin County Sheriff's Department, HIDTA, and MBN with the case.
The driver, Eloy Guttierrez Reyes of Denver, Colorado was taken into custody and booked on possession of marijuana and meth with the intent to distribute. He is currently being housed in the Rankin County Jail with bond to be set at a later date.
The drugs were hidden in the rear fenders of the Avalanche. The pictures posted below show how the drugs are stored. The Avalanche has a void in the rear panels on both sides that is a little longer than the length of the bed. The molding (for lack of a better word) is pulled back from the interior wall inside the truck. The drugs are stuffed into the rear panels. Splinter (K-9) alerted police to the presence of drugs in the right rear panel and inside the cab where the left rear panel ended.
Reyes had a Colorado ID but no driver's license. The truck had Texas tags.

Splinter needs a new name like "Mighty Oak". He earned society's gratitude and mine.
Hat tip to Splinter!
Pearl,Brandon and SO do a good job on I-20 ..
"Of Colorado"...
And when this goes into "crime statistics", he'll be recorded as "white", too.
I wonder what the PC was to pull the truck over? Driving under the influence of out of state tags? Lol

You're an idiot. Colorado is Spanish for Colored. Mississippi was also a Spanish colony by the way. Spanish last names are certainly from the United States.
Give that baby Splinter a big ole TBONE and a toy to tear up!!!! Great job!
If you are driving a vehicle with Texas plates through Pearl on the interstate and are Hispanic, a dog is going to check out your vehicle.
And, 2:22, you have a problem with THAT? You probably also think 'All Metro cities have high crime rates' and 'Crime occurs around here without regard to race'.
@2:22...and if you don't have a load of illegal drugs in you vehicle you are on you merry way! If you do, tough S*#t.
Why is meth and pot illegal, again? Coffee and beer (despite MS's best efforts) are legal.
Ain't prohibition grand
Worst Christmas ever....all those gifts going to waste.
