A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

SEATTLE - Following the recent arrest of two high-profile Mexican drug lords, a Virginia-based private security firm is urging Americans traveling to Mexico in the next few days to be cautious and monitor trusted sources to avoid any getting caught up in a violent flare-up. Mexican government officials at the border state of Chihuahua also raised concerns over possible violence and are preparing for a "worst-case scenario," said Public Safety Director Gilberto Loya on July 29. "Why prepare? Because it is not clear what happened. There could be a different response from criminal groups if it was a surrender or a betrayal between cells of the same cartel," Loya added.
