Officials conducted a search warrant of Mims' home and found 4.5 ounces of meth, 9,4 grams of rock cocaine, over 25 grams of ecstasy, 13 grams of PCP, 6.8 ounces of marijuana, 4 grams of Xanax, 9 grams of Hydrocodone and 5.5 ounces of K2, according to law enforcement. Digital scales and packaging materials were also found in the home. 

A stolen gun was found in the same room with most of the drugs. Officials said identifying documents belonged to Mims. Officers determined the gun was stolen in a vehicle burglary from Palestine in 2023.

Additional warrants were obtained for Eric Hill, 48, and Latonya Gaston, 46, both of Palestine, who are wanted by Palestine police for the manufacture and delivery of dugs. 

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the individuals are urged to contact Palestine P.D by calling 903-728-2254 or the Anderson County Crimestoppers at 903-729-8477.
