| Police officer indicted  | | Michael Wilson |
Michael Wilson, a
four-year officer with the Holly Springs Police Department, was
indicted by the Marshall County grand jury July 15 for the sale of
hydrocodone, a controlled substance, to an undercover officer,
according to chief Robert Pearson. “Wilson was
arrested and taken into custody by members of the Marshall County
Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday, July 21, at the Holly Springs police
station,” Pearson said. “Wilson was immediately relieved of duty and
suspended without pay, pending adjudication of the charge in the
Marshall County Circuit Court.” After being
arrested, Wilson was released on bond pending his appearance in the
Marshall County Circuit Court on August 6, Pearson said. Two other arrests were made last week the Holly Springs police. Larry D. Campbell, 18, of Holly Springs, was arrested Wednesday, July 22, and charged with burglary of an auto, Pearson said. Marty D. Stanton, 34, of Hickory Flat, was arrested on Thursday, July 23, and charged with aggravated assault, he said. A
robbery of an individual was reported in the 300 block of Van Dorn on
Thursday, July 23. A black, touch-screen Samsung cell phone valued at
$300 was taken. Officers investigated an auto
burglary in the 400 block of Industrial Park Road on Sunday, July 26.
The vehicle is a 1985 maroon, Mustang GT. Officers
responded to an auto burglary report in the 200 block of Gholson Avenue
Sunday, July 26. The owner discovered three of his vehicles
burglarized. A digital camera and pair of Olympus binoculars were taken
from a 2006 Suburban and approximately 30 CDs and an iPod player and
charger were taken from a 2000 Volvo. Nothing was discovered missing
from a 2007 Mini Cooper. Officers were called to Robinson’s Drug Store Monday morning to investigate a breaking and entering, Pearson said. “It appears someone took a sledge hammer and knocked a hole in the building,” he said. Approximately $1,000 was missing from a cash register and that figure could go up, Pearson said. Officers

license suspended (2); no driver's license (3); expired tag (1); no
