CLAY COUNTY — A Clay County man is on the run after law enforcement found large amounts of drugs and firearms at his residence on Monday.
Kevon Tucker, 32, is at large according to a press release from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
Tucker allegedly fled his residence minutes before CCSO deputies and agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and the Mississippi Highway Patrol arrived to execute a search warrant at his residence.
When officers arrived, they found about 7 1/2 pounds of cocaine, which has an estimated street value of more than $250,000, the release said. Officers also discovered suspected fentanyl pills, several grams of crack cocaine, about one pound of marijuana, four handguns and a rifle.
CCSO urges anyone with information on Tucker’s whereabouts to contact the Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers at (800) 530-7151 or the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Eddie Scott also reminded the public that anyone found aiding Tucker could face criminal charges.
