Hi! Just wanted to let you know, my son’s car (Cross Caldwell) was recovered yesterday afternoon in Tish County and an arrest has been made. From my understanding, Sheriff Daughtry  was driving down the road that leads to J.P. Coleman Park when he seen a car on side of the road and a male subject walking nearby. He ran the tag number and the car came back stolen. He arrested, Jesse Green of Iuka and when searched he had the keys to my son’s car in his pocket. There is also surveillance video of him stealing it from Walmart. From what we can tell the car appears to be totaled. It looks like it has been submerged partially in water.
