MBN SEIZES COCAINE AND MARIJUANA IN LAMAR COUNTY
JACKSON, Miss. – On Monday, November 3, 2025, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics (MBN) executed a search warrant at a residence in Hattiesburg, Lamar County, Mississippi.
MBN Agents arrested 43-year-old Rodney Jermaine Cooper for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, aggravated trafficking of cocaine while in possession of firearm, and trafficking marijuana while in possession of firearm.
During the execution of this search warrant, agents seized approximately 686 grams of powder cocaine, 9,890 grams of marijuana, two firearms, $9,740 in U.S. currency, and a 2016 Cadillac CT6 sedan. The weights and amounts of the controlled substances are approximate and will be sent to the Mississippi Crime Laboratory for analysis. MBN was assisted in this investigation by the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office.
"This is another great example of the hard work our agents and law enforcement officers do every day to get criminals and illegal drugs off our streets and out of our communities. Great work!," said Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell.
“This is a result of what happens when you have a good working relationship between state and local law enforcement partners," said Danny Rigel, Lamar County Sheriff.
