"On the night of January 8, 2024 a rash of auto burglaries occurred in the Hope Community. Between the hours of 1:00 a.m. – 4:00 a.m. numerous vehicles were broken into on County Road 147 and Highway 488, near Hope Store. Four arrests have been made in those burglaries. Daylen Perkins (19), 166 Rolling Hills Circle Philadelphia, Quincy Farmer (19), 178 Rolling Hills Circle Philadelphia, and two juveniles have been charged with 7 auto burglaries that include the theft of a Browning 300 mag. hunting rifle, a R***r LCP .9mm handgun, a purse, a wallet, and miscellaneous cash.

Investigators were able to follow tips and connect them to make arrests and recover the stolen items from the Hope Community. The Browning hunting rifle, R***r LCP .9mm handgun, purse, and wallet have been returned to the owners.

On the night of January 14, 2024, at around 3:00 a.m. on Hwy 21 South near the city limits, 4 automobiles and a camper were burglarized. A Smith & Wesson handgun with a green laser attachment was taken from a Chevy Tahoe and a purse containing $500 cash and miscellaneous cards were taken. Sammy Wallace Jr. (21), 320 Goat Ranch Road Philadelphia, and two juveniles were charged with the burglaries that occured. Sammy’s younger brother, Sean Wallace (18) 320 Goat Ranch Road Philadelphia, has also been charged with possession of stolen firearm.

Philadelphia Police Department located the Wallace siblings and two juveniles at a local hotel. The stolen Smith & Wesson along with purse was seized. These items have been returned to the owners. One of these juveniles was determined to be linked in the burglaries on Highway 488/Road 147.
At this time, Perkins and Farmer are being held in the Neshoba County Detention Center on a $70,000 bond through Justice Court of Neshoba County. Sammy Wallace is being held at the Neshoba County Detention Center on a $55,000 bond through Justice Court of Neshoba. Sean Wallace is being held at the Neshoba County Detention Center on $5,000 bond through Just Court of Neshoba.

All juveniles involved in the cases listed above have been turned over to Youth Court and are awaiting a court date.

The best evidence collected in these cases was from home and business security cameras. Local residents shared videos on social media and with law enforcement, which caused community involvement. We encourage residents to lock their car doors, hide valuable items located inside the car, and park in well lit areas.

The Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office is soon to launch a Sheriff’s App that will allow local residents to partner with law enforcement and voluntarily register their home surveillance cameras. This lets the Sheriff’s Office know that cameras are in the area and could be used to help solve crimes in your neighborhood. The App will also have tip submission capability. The Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office will use this to continue to keep the community informed and up to date on the current events. If you have any information on crimes in Neshoba County, call the Sheriff at 601-656-1414."
