Pike County SRT executes search warrant; fentanyl-positive items found

On March 23, 2026, Pike County SRT, with assistance from the Parish County Line Task Force and the McComb Police Department, executed a search warrant on Sedgewick Street in the White Acres community, the Pike County Sheriff’s Office Public Relations Department said.

Deputies recovered narcotics, firearms and instruments used to manufacture illegal substances, the sheriff’s office said. Some of the items field-tested positive for the presence of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid linked to overdose deaths.

Authorities have charged Dekendrick Spurlock, 41, in connection with the search warrant and say he currently has multiple felony warrants for his arrest, the sheriff’s office said. Spurlock is believed to be armed and should not be approached if seen.

Anyone with information about Spurlock’s whereabouts is asked to contact Crimestoppers at (601) 869-7141 or leave a tip online at p3tips.com, the sheriff’s office said. Special response teams and multiagency task forces often assist local departments with high-risk warrants and narcotics investigations.
