Police Arrest Two Individuals: Cyberstalking and Possession of Methamphetamine; Jewelry Worth $15,000 Stolen
In a recent development, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office has made two arrests in connection with separate felony charges. Stephanie Denise Belk, a 35-year-old, was arrested for cyberstalking, while Robert Leonard Reus, a 43-year-old from Collins, was arrested for the possession of methamphetamine.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a report from a resident on Drive 140 in Mantachie. The woman claimed that she had left a bag containing miscellaneous jewelry worth approximately $15,000 on her bed before leaving her house. However, upon returning after two hours, she discovered that the maroon and white bag had gone missing. No signs of forced entry were found, and she confirmed that she was the only one with a key to her house.
Additionally, another complaint was lodged by a resident on County Road 1409 in Mooreville. The woman reported the appearance of a small gray puppy at her residence on Sunday. Seeking assistance, she dialed 911, hoping someone would come to collect the animal. However, she was informed that there is no stray animal ordinance in the county. Instead, she was provided with a list of rescue groups that might be able to assist her.
Authorities are urging anyone with any information related to these crimes to contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office at 841-9041, the Tupelo Police Department at 841-6491, or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at (800) 773-TIPS.
