KEMPER COUNTY, Miss. (WTOK) – A Kemper County man has been charged with selling a controlled substance, methamphetamine.

The Kemper County Sheriff’s Office said Lullie Bufford Scott was stopped at a security checkpoint on Highway 16 Saturday when a police K-9 indicated the presence of drugs after an exterior search of the vehicle, and they were later discovered 4.4 grams of meth.

KCSO said Scott also gave consent for his home to be searched and an additional 25.5 grams was found, along with several scales and plastic bags.

Scott’s bond on the latest charge was set Tuesday at $25,000. But since he was already out on bail for a separate drug charge in September, KCSO said it would be revoked.

Scott has a court date set for March 17, 2025.
