A Port Gibson accused of having cocaine and more than a pound of marijuana was held without bail this morning.

Julius “Corky” Davis, 31, who lives on Royal Street in Port Gibson was arrested at about 4 a.m. Wednesday on a slew of drug charges and child endangerment, Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas said.

Davis, who was arrested by agents from North Central Mississippi Drug Task Force and Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department, is charged with possession of hydrocodone with intent to deliver, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, possession of crack cocaine with intent to deliver and two counts of child endangerment.

Two children were in the home when narcotics agents arrived.

“He had two little kids in the house,” Lucas said.

Inside Davis’ home, agents found approximately 20 pills of hydrocodone, 10 grams of crack cocaine, 1.5 grams of powder cocaine, a .22-caliber rifle, a pound of marijuana.

Agents also seized nearly $2,000 in suspected drug money.

The drug charges have also been enhanced to include possession of a firearm while in possession of narcotics.

Davis was held without bail this morning in the Claiborne County Jail.

The bust is the second in two months involving the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department and the task force.

“We’re hopefully going to wipe all the drug dealers out and keep working until all these illegal drug stores are closed,” Lucas said.
