PHILADELPHIA, Miss.–A man was busted with large amounts of meth in his house after overdosing on drugs last week in Neshoba County.
According to a news release from the Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office, medics and deputies were called to a house on County Rd. 402, between Carthage and Philadelphia, just before 10 p.m. Monday. When they arrived a woman who was at the house, Edith Welch, told them Billy Pike had overdosed and a neighbor gave him Narcan.
Pike was taken to the hospital.
Deputies said they saw what appeared to be several items related to drug trafficking, several bags of meth and pot, several doses of ecstacy and Xanax and a Rossi .22 long rifle.
They also found a bag of meth on Welch and she admitted to having a pipe on her side of the bed.
Deputies got a search warrant and went back the next day, finding another 450 grams of meth and $9,000 in cash, with the help of a K-9 officer from Union.
Pike was arrested and charged with aggravated drug trafficking and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
