Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
On April 15, 2025, narcotics investigators with the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department and officers from the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority received information regarding a passenger on an inbound flight.
After the flight landed at 12:13pm, federal and local law enforcement officers conducted a K-9 sweep of packages being offloaded from the aircraft. During that time, a K-9 alerted to two (2) bags belonging to the passenger that had been reported to law enforcement.
The passenger and owner of the luggage was later identified as Monroe Milton III. After Milton was informed of the K-9 alert on his luggage, he admitted to officials that was approximately one (1) pound of mushrooms in his luggage. At that time, Milton was detained, and a search of the bags was conducted.
During that search, multiple items were recovered including drug paraphernalia, multiple jars of Hemp/Marijuana products totaling to 68 grams and a clear zip-tied bag containing approximately 493 grams of Psilocybin mushrooms.
Monroe Milton III was arrested for Trafficking a Controlled Substance and transported to the Rankin County Detention Center where he is being housed on a $100,000 bond.

So much for his trippy dippy 420 Easter
Good job Scooby Doo
Wow. That guy was a genius!
Interesting. The airport is technically Jackson. A good lawyer will get this moved to Hinds County.
The man is just doing the lab work for his pharmacy degree.
Rankin SO doing JPD work for them............ It appears the airport called SO instead of the PD for the city in which they are legally located?
It is called “dope” for obvious reasons!…🙄😳
Damn. There went my weekend.
Judging by the number of Bailey's press releases, he's fixin to run for Governor just like Shad from Harvard Law School and Andy the Pumpkin Farmer!
The drug war, the most retarded war.
So many potential fatalities. Oh wait...
So reading between the lines this guy was able to get his bag past TSA and onto a plane in the first place. And I have to worry about a tooth paste tube being over 3.4 ounces???
TSA = Thousands Standing Around It was either a mall cop job or TSA.
@2:19 Of he departed from a state where it is all legal… but then again, TSA is supposed to be federal…. but then again they are probably who alerted law enforcement that he is arriving.
I don't see any underwear or a toothbrush-
One thing for sure, we can't have lawlessness at the security checkpoints!
Yes 1:46 - it is 'interesting'. The Airport is in Jackson, BUT it is also in Rankin County. The Rankin County Sheriff does have jurisdiction as does the Airport police. There are parts of Jackson in Madison County as well, and areas other than the airport that are also Jackson and within Rankin County.
This is not unusual; many cities and towns are located within two counties; being so does not mean that the case could be moved from Rankin jurisdiction to Jackson.
Nice try, but next time you come please bring your Law101 textbook with you to a blogsite.
Don't be a smart ass. I get what 1.46 is saying. yes, SO has jurisdiction, but so does JPD.
Mushrooms? Edibles? I am willing to bet money this sophisticated gentleman of good taste has a copy of Pink Floyd’s
Wish You Were Here and/or Dark Side of The Moon
I am surprised sean tindell has not taken over the jackson airport police and assigned flex units out there to work narcotics.
Why would you import mushrooms to a state where they grow by the garbage bag full
TSA- Tub Stackers of America
RCSO puts drones in the sky with plate readers over Jackson–Medgar Wiley Evers.
A little known fact is that TSA isn’t interested in drugs in your luggage. Their job is to catch bombs and weapons. Local/airport cops, CBP, and other Feds are a different story.
Wonder where his flight to JAX originated. Must have had some help on that end.
JPD would not have taken him to RCSO jail
