Ten arrested, one wanted in multi-district takedown

July 24, 2025 – Ten local Mississippi men were arrested yesterday on criminal charges related to their alleged participation in a fentanyl and methamphetamine conspiracy and related money laundering.

According to court documents, Terrance Rush, Gary Wraggs, Tilnorris Macon, Tonnee Holmes, Tyler Tanksley, Darnell Stone, Harvey Savior, Marcus Metts, and Austin Snow are all charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl. Nine of these individuals were arrested in Winston County, MS, and one was arrested in Minnesota. One individual, Quinton McWilliams, 41, of Louisville, MS, is at large and wanted by the FBI for these crimes.

In addition, three individuals are charged with violating federal firearm laws. As alleged in the indictment, several of these individuals have prior serious drug or violent felony convictions. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

This operation is part of Summer Heat, the FBI’s nationwide initiative targeting violent crime during the summer months. As part of this effort, the FBI has launched a multi-pronged offensive to crush violent crime. By surging resources alongside state and local partners, executing federal warrants on violent criminals and fugitives, and dismantling violent gangs nationwide, we are aggressively restoring safety in our communities across the country.
