The Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, along with the Eupora Police Department, arrested three people Nov. 12 for sale of controlled substances within the city limits of Eupora.
Charged with sale of marijuana are 22-year-old Johnny Christopher "Chris" Lucas Jr. of 55 S. Joliff and 28-year-old Sally Marie Sibley of 1580 Robinson Road. Melissa Kay Blasingame, 37, of 1577 Robinson Road is charged with sale of Xanax.
Affidavits filed by MBN Agent Steven Woodruff allege that Lucas sold 6 grams of marijuana on May 7; that Sibley sold 8 grams of marijuana on June 9 and that Blasingame sold 20 dosage units of Xanax on May 7, all while located on Dunn Street.
According to MBN and EPD news releases, officers arrested the suspects at their homes and transported them to the Webster County Jail, where bond was set at $15,000 each. Sibley and Blasingame bonded out Friday while Lucas remained in jail as of Monday. Lucas is scheduled to have an initial hearing in Eupora Municipal Court on Tuesday, while Sibley and Blasingame are both set to appear Dec. 1.
Police Chief Gregg Hunter said this is an ongoing undercover operation started approximately a year ago by the Narcotics Bureau and the EPD within the city of Eupora. More arrests are forthcoming but the names will not be released until the suspects are in custody, he added.
"I would like to thank the agents of the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics for their hard work and I look forward to a continued good working relationship with the bureau in Eupora," Hunter said.

yeah. all they want to do is sit outside of town and catch someone going 5 miles over the speed limit. O yeah, it took a whole year to catch these 3 !!!!! Figure up the salary of all these law enforcement for a year just to catch a handfull of marijuana and a few prescrition pills !!! GET REAL EUPORA.

If I was a law official of webster county, I would be embarrassed to put such a petty thing in the paper as this. If thats all you can do we dont need law enforcement. Like concerned citizen wrote, we need someone from outside to come in and clean house on these sunday cristians smiling in church, then supplying money for drug dealers. And also BUST up the crack houses in town and while they are at it arrest about half the corrupt law enforcement.

That is so true because i lived in Eupora for all my life and that's all I've ever known that town to be was a drug place and if you're not working with the police there then you don't stand a chance of making a good bit of money off your sale of drug it's always been that way God forbid they so call police department that they have because they are currupt

Not much of a "Sting". It appears that they "stumbled" across this one. There are so many drug dealers around that you have to come across a few of the lesser ones -- unless you are blind.

Are you kidding ? This so-called BUST was hardly worth the ink that it took to write the citations !! I want to pick up the paper and read about some of these big shot,high profile people being arrested thats responsible for bringing the drugs into the county. But we all know that will never happen. With the nearly nothing salary that our law officials are paid, none of them are going to turn down easy money. We need someone from the outside to come in and BUST some of these BIG MONEY people and dont let our Barney Fife law know anything. This would put the county into a frenzy. The truth hurts !!!
