On 07/14/2010 Prentiss County Investigators and Deputies executed a search warrant at a residence on CR 1151 and recovered property that had been taken in at least four burglaries that had been reported since July 1st. Three of the burglaries happened on CR 1101, one on CR 1195 and one on CR 1150. We recovered numerous firearms, 15 Marijuana plants (in and around the residence), a New GE Electric Stove, a Dry Vacuum, an eight foot Aluminum Level, an Aluminum ladder, a Lawn Chair, a Light Fixture, and two Oval Mirrors. Two of the burglaries were of residences that had been renovated or were in the process of renovating. Some of the other guns, jewelry and coins may have already been disposed of, so we ask the public's help in recovering any of these items that the suspects may have already sold or given away. If the property is returned we will see that it is returned to the proper owners. This is an investigation that everything just seemed to fall into place and worked out to our advantage. If anyone has information concerning please contact Investigators with the Prentiss County Sheriff's Office or call CrimeStopper at 1-800-773-8477.

The individual that resided in the residence apparently fled when we arrived and we are still attempting to locate him.

The victim of the aggravated Assault/Armed Robbery is being identified as Steven K Holley age 46 of Thrasher. He died this morning from the wounds he suffered during the Assault and Robbery. He was initially transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Booneville then Air Lifted to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. He remain there until he died. Prentiss County Authorities traveled to Sommerville Tennessee yesterday morning and transported the second suspect in the case back to Prentiss County. He had been arrested the previous night at a Walmart by Agents with The United States Marshals Services Fugitive Apprehension Task Force. Agents recovered a mobile meth lab and a 9mm pistol from the automobile they were traveling in. The pair of suspects were charged with Aggravated Assault/Armed Robbery and Grand Larceny in the matter but due to the fact that the Holley passed away, the charges are being upgraded to Capital Murder. The first suspect, Jeremy Huguley had already had an initial appearance and his bond had been set at $500,000, but will be raised once the charges are upgraded. We are still tying up several loose ends and expect to have the investigation rapped up very soon. It is very tragic any time someone looses their life. Many people (Family, Friends, Etc.) suffer from such senseless killings. I am very pleased at the way this investigation played out. It took many people working many hours to get everything wrapped up.



Thank you, all Press Agencies for your coverage of this incident. It played a part in our apprehension of the suspects.

The Armed Robbery/Aggravated Assault suspect Charles David Burleson II of Tupelo is now in custody. Just prior to 9PM last night agents with the The United States Marshals Service Fugitive Apprehension Task Force captured Burleson inside a Walmart in Sommerville Tennessee without incident. He was still in the company of his girlfriend. The pair had been traveling in her Green Ford Mustang. Agents discovered a gun and a mobile meth lab in the automobile. Burleson is being held in Tennessee at this time. Officers with the Prentiss County Sheriff's Office will be traveling to Tennessee today or tomorrow. I would like to express appreciation for the tremendous effort show by everyone especially the US Marshal Service Fugitive Task Force, without them we would not have had jurisdiction outside of Mississippi. There were numerous other agencies whose assistance was crucial in the case, Lee County Sheriff's Office, Tupelo Police Department, Guntown Police and the Mississippi Department of Corrections along with others agencies to many to name. Hopefully with his arrest we can wrap this case up and present it to the next Grand Jury.
