Iuka Man Arrested After Brief Run From The Law

TISHOMINGO CO., Miss. (WCBI) – An attempted traffic stop and a short chase lands an Iuka man in jail.

                 BERRYMAN

28-year-old Anthony Scott Berryman is facing felony charges.

Tishomingo sheriff’s deputies stopped Berryman on Highway 72 for a traffic violation on Thursday.

Once Berryman pulled over, officers started to walk over, but before they got there, he sped off.

The deputies gave chase, and Berryman managed to elude them for several miles, but the pursuit ended quickly with no injuries or property damage.

Once they had him, Berryman told police the reason he didn’t stick around was because he had methamphetamine on him. He threw that out during the chase.

Berryman is charged with felony fleeing. He’s in the Tishomingo County Jail waiting for bond to be set by Justice Court.
