STARKVILLE – Four men were arrested Wednesday at Walmart Supercenter for gambling. Two of the suspects also face firearms charges.
Tyreek Tutwiler, 25, Kennedy Hope, 26, Cedrick Ginn, 25, all of Indianola, and David Lee, 22, of Sunflower, were each charged with gambling, according to a press release issued Thursday from Starkville Police Department.
Police responded to Walmart on Highway 12 West on Wednesday after receiving a report of a “suspicious incident.”
The press release did not specify the suspicious activity or how it related to gambling. Neither did Sgt. Brandon Lovelady, public information officer for the police department, when reached by The Dispatch on Thursday.
Lee and Tutwiler were also charged with possession of a machine gun conversion device in addition to the gambling charge.
The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact SPD at (662) 323-4131 or Triangle Crime Stoppers at (800) 530-7151.
