Corning bust leads to 7.4 pounds of meth | News

Henson claimed that Denson was taken into custody at her home.

Henson reported that after a positive K9 alarm was placed at the unit’s door, a search warrant had been obtained and executed.

Agents located 7.4 lbs of methamphetamine, as well as 4.7 ounces worth of marijuana, plastic bags and scales. There was also a large amount of ammunition and one rifle inside a black case.

According to Henson, the storage unit is located within 1,000 feet from a daycare facility. It was confirmed that Denson rented it. He signed a rental contract for the unit.

He claimed that Denson was an important figure in the Corning drugs scene.

Henson stated that an AK-47 rifle and a lot of ammunition were seized.

Denson is currently being held at the Greene County Detention Center. He was charged with trafficking a controlled drug, a Class Y felony and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Tuesday’s district court judge found probable cause for Denson to be charged and issued a $1million bond. There are additional release conditions that may apply if Denson posts bond.

“Isolated arrests like this one are very impactful for small communities such as Corning. They will see a dramatic decrease in drug sales almost immediately, and the intel we gained from this arrest will lead to the next one and so on,” Henson said.

Law enforcement officers with the Clay County, Greene County and Craighead County sheriff’s offices and the Corning, Paragould and Piggott police departments were involved in the case, according to a news release.
