RUSK — Two suspects arrested Friday by the Jacksonville Police Department on drug charges now face added burglary charges from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department.

On Friday around 11:30 a.m. Jacksonville police received an anonymous tip that narcotics and stolen property from the county was located in the French Quarter Apartments. Because of the allegations, both the Jacksonville police and sheriff deputies executed a search warrant on the residence.

Kayla Tompkins, 23, of Jacksonville, Jesse Mims, 24, of Jacksonville, Andrew Tarver, 21, of Troup and Damean Carpenter, 21, of Troup, were arrested after 6 grams of methamphetamine was found in the apartment. All were charged with delivery of a controlled substance between 2 grams and 200 grams, a first-degree felony.

Deputies executed a separate search warrant and recovered items from a burglary in the county on County Road 4619, north of Troup.

Det. Mike Goff, with the sheriff’s department, said the home was broken into three times in recent weeks, on May 27, again on May 30 and a third time between June 5 and 6.

On Tuesday, Mims and Tarver were charged with two counts of burglary of a habitation, a second degree felony. They are expected to be arraigned today. The department has not charged Carpenter or Tompkins in connection to the burglaries.

Goff said through the cooperation of one of the suspects, the department expects to issue a warrant on another person connected with these burglaries and to several others in the county.

The department is also still working on recovering all the property stolen from the home. Goff said he has recovered seven guns, antique glassware and some antique paintings. He said silverware and some other antique items still need to be recovered.

“You should have to see the stuff in this residence, it was unreal,” he said.

Goff said he would like to thank the Jacksonville department and the anymous caller for the help.

“If they wouldn’t have done what they did, I wouldn't have gotten where I am in my investigation, and I appreciate their assistance,” Goff said. “Anytime you can get someone’s property back, it makes them happy, especially when it's antiques, which are hard to replace.”
