On Thursday August 13th, Tippah County Authorities arrested Anthony George Nugent 34, of 2450 HWY 368 Blue Mountain, the arrest was based on a warrant that was issued for the charge of Accessory After the Fact of Burglary of an Automobile, involving the theft of a Dell Laptop Computer back in July. Prentiss County Investigators had been working on the case and following up on leads that ultimately led them to Nugent who wound up in possession of the computer. His bond was set at $2,000 and he is free on bond. The computer was recovered. Another arrest was made concerning the same computer. Tasha Rochelle Traylor 38, of 230 North 3rd Street Saltillo was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property also on Aug 13th, her bond was set at $2,500 and she is free on bond. The individual who was responsible for the actually Automobile Burglaries remains in custody. There were three automobiles burglarized on Cr 1371 back in July and it has been determined that he was responsible for the three burglaries. The cases will be presented to the next Grand Jury in Oct. This was a very in depth case that took a lot of leg work and the use of technology that we have used before. I am very pleased with the Investigators handling of this case and for everyone's assistance in this matter.
