DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO)


The Department of Children and Families responded and provided care and safe placement for the infant.
As for Melissa, she was transported to the DeSoto County Jail where she was charged with Trafficking in Heroin, Trafficking in Cocaine, Introduction of Contraband into a Correctional Facility, Child Abuse/Neglect and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. She is currently held without bond.
We are grateful for the effective and consistent partnership between DCSO and DCI. Thanks to this teamwork, almost 800 grams (two pounds) of heroin and cocaine were kept out of our prison system and our community!
Awesome job to everyone involved!!
