COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — The trio accused of breaking into a Columbus pharmacy is now behind bars.

Investigators say the crooks broke into the Walgreens pharmacy across from the hospital around 11 p.m., Monday.

They took off with thousands of dosages of prescription drugs, from hydrocodone to morphine.

State troopers got a description of the SUV involved, and spotted the white Chevrolet Traverse traveling along US 82.

Highway patrolmen then pulled the suspects over near MS 12 outside of Starkville.

They arrested Shangralaura Broussard, James Turner, and Tyrone Cooper – all from Houston, Texas.

They’re being held in the Oktibbeha County jail on felony charges.

State troopers, Columbus police, and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics are still investigating.
