Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said his agency received a tip shortly after 9 a.m. that drugs were at a home in the 7000 block of Havermann Road. Deputies and the Celina Police Department around 9:30 a.m. found the suspect, identified as Michael James Wilson Jr., in possession of more than 5 grams of methamphetamine, the sheriff said.
"Tips have increased as of late and so have our arrests," said Grey, who urged more residents to leave tips.
