On 08/25/2009, Investigators arrested Mitchell Wayne Huddleston 31, of 286 CR 5091 Booneville, and charged him with Manufacturing a controlled substance (Marijuana) and Possession of Stolen Property. The latter charge stems from the theft of several items stolen from the Prentiss County Sheriff's Office Mobile Command trailer that was parked on Corp of Engineers Property at Bay Springs. The trailer was found burned on the morning of July 12th. The items recovered from Huddleston included a generator, a lighting system and a power cord. The fire was investigated and determined to be arson. Huddleston is not charged with the fire, but investigators are continuing the investigation and soliciting any information that might help solve the crime. Crimestoppers of North Mississippi is offering up to a $1,000 reward and The State's Fire Marshals Office is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the Arson. Huddleston was released on a$10,000 bond.
