During this stop, it was determined that Henley was Driving Under the Influence of narcotics. Henley was issued the proper citation for a D.U.I. and during the search of Henley because of his arrest, Henley was found to be in possession of marijuana, methamphetamines, and a firearm. The Trooper then contacted the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics to help him process the drugs that were seized during this arrest. The investigation of this matter indicated that Henley had a previous conviction for armed robbery in Copiah County. Therefore, Henley pled guilty to the charge of possession of methamphetamine and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
