*Possession of a controlled substance;
*Synthetic narcotics possession with intent to sell, manufacture, or deliver;

Sheriff Potter reminds anyone “visiting” DeSoto County that he doesn’t want your unlawful deadly drugs meant to victimize the DeSoto County Community in our county. You can take your “vacations” elsewhere.
