ADAMS COUNTY, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Adams County deputies said they arrested three men while they were exchanging hundreds of pills that contain fentanyl.
Arthur Grayson, of Natchez; Quentin Pollard, of St. Francisville, Louisiana; and Alphonse Lewis, of St. Francisville, Louisiana; were arrested at the intersection of Lower Woodville Road and Grove Acres in the early morning hours of July 3, 2024. They were allegedly trafficking Roxicodone.
Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten said the three men were arrested while they were exchanging 652 Roxicodone tablets. He said agents also recovered $2,727 and seized two trucks.
Agents also executed a search warrant in the 700 block of Highway 61 South and seized paperwork, a Zosi DVR, a 2018 Ford F-150 vin, a 2015 Ford F-350, a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, a 2006 Honda Goldwing, a 2007 Ford F-150, a 2006 International Rollback, a 2014 International, and $283.
Patten said this was the third time deputies executed a search warrant at Grayson’s home and arrested him for selling Roxicodone. The sheriff said Grayson was arrested on April 15, 2022, for trafficking Roxicodone and had a Cadillac Escalade seized. Grayson was also arrested on January 4, 2024, for allegedly selling Roxicodone.

Patten said the Roxicodone pills being sold by the suspects are not pharmaceutical-grade pressed pills.
“These pills contain fentanyl and who knows what else. These are the kind of pills that are killing people across our nation. The profit margin on these pills is astronomical. They will cost less than a dollar to produce and these particular pressed pills are sold as Roxicodone 30 milligram and can sell for $30 a tablet. This gives the pills seized in this one arrest an approximate street value of $19,560,” said Patten.
