Attala County Sheriff William Lee said three people were charged with possession of precursors to make methamphetamine on Thursday, Aug. 7.

Talmage Watkins, 46, Kim Watkins 42, and Kevin Horne, 48, were charged after they were pulled over on Highway 35 South.

They are still in Attala County Jail. Talmage was wanted on a grand larceny warrant in Leake County.

On Aug. 5, Carl Sanders reported a child’s four-wheeler, a John Deere riding lawn mower and a red Wizard lawnmower were taken from his property on Attala County Road 4237. The items were valued at $4,550.
