License plate reader spots stolen car on Highway 16

A Tunica man has been arrested and charged last month at one of the casinos in connection with an auto burglary there after license plate readers spotted a stolen vehicle on Highway 16.

The man Melvin Isabell, 35, of 1013 Cedar Ridge Cove, Tunica, was arrested by Neshoba County authorities and is being held for local authorities in Tunica where he faces charges related to the taking of a Black Jeep Cherokee.

Isabell was arrested on Nov. 27, at one of the Silver Star casinos around 1 p.m., Sheriff Eric Clark said.

Clark said the vehicle was spotted by one of the Flock safety cameras his department uses to monitor traffic on certain roads in the county.
