Harper and Tidwell make first appearance in Justice Court

Two individuals made their initial appearance in Justice Court today, Aug. 29 after being arrested Aug. 28 by the Warren County Sheriff’s Department.

Vicksburg resident Brandon Harper, 32, was charged with possession of meth with intent to distribute, and Warren County resident Jaime McGuffie Tidwell, 43, was charged with conspiracy to possess a controlled substance. Warren County Chief Deputy Billy Heggins confiscated about $350 worth of meth from the suspects.

Both Harper and Tidwell were given a $10,000 bond; however, Harper is not eligible for bond. He is on probation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections for weapons possession as a convicted felon and the sale of marijuana. Tidwell was released on bond.
