Winston Co. Deputies Make Cocaine Bust

WINSTON COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — Winston County deputies say they hope to file charges soon after making a big cocaine bust.

Sheriff Jason Pugh says they seized 41 grams of cocaine after a search late Thursday night.

It happened after a deputy pursued a car driving on the wrong side of Enon Road in Winston County.

When they got to Sinai Road, the driver and the passenger got out of the car, and ran into the woods before other deputies arrived.

Investigators searched the car, and found $6,000 worth of uncut cocaine, and a bottle of an unknown liquid.

Pugh tells WCBI they have identified the suspect, and they’re waiting for him to turn himself in.
