Before the drug deal could even be completed, officers had the would-be buyer in handcuffs.
Darien McCoy was charged with the transfer of crack cocaine.
Cpt. Tilmon Clifton said observant officers noticed the drug deal in progress Wednesday at the BP gas station on Grand Avenue.
“Officers noticed him making a drug transfer, and they were able to immediately arrest him,” Clifton said. “He was actually even on probation at the time for similar drug charges.”
With a Mississippi Department of Correction hold on him, McCoy remained in jail as of press time.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
