Men Arrested for Marijuana Possesion
Biloxi police have arrested three men on charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute after they were found with marijuana worth about half a million dollars. 24-year-old Ricky Van Le and 30-year-old Thang Anh Le, both of Biloxi, and 31-year-old John Van Ngyen of D’Iberville were charged Monday. Sgt. Aldon Helmert says officers responded to a Biloxi home on a citizen’s tip of narcotics violations. Helmert says officers recovered more than one-hundred pounds of marijuana with a street value of approximately $500,000. He says the men are being taken to Harrison County jail with a $200,000 bond on each set by Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain. It was unclear whether the men have attorneys.
