On April 3rd, Tipton County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the 100 block of Junior Drive in Covington regarding a home invasion.

Deputies responded and determined that two black males wearing hoodies and dark clothing knocked on the door of the residence and forcibly entered the residence after the door was answered.

The robbers were armed with a shotgun and locked the victim and her two juvenile children in the garage after ransacking the home.

On Monday, 5 March 2012, a Tipton County Grand Jury returned 30 drug indictments as a result of several undercover narcotics operations that date back to 2011.

The Tipton County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by the U.S. Marshalls Service and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, executed the indictments on Tuesday evening throughout Tipton County.

One search warrant was also conducted during the operation that resulted in a mother and son team being arrested.
