Jennings deputies make arrest after prescription drugs theft

Jennings County authorities have arrested a man accused of stealing medications from a home.

According to the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were called to a home in Country Squire Lakes on December 23rd about a burglary where prescription pills were stolen. During the investigation, deputies recovered security camera footage from a neighbor which showed a white car pull up to the home, a man get out and head toward the back of the home and then run back to the car to leave the scene.

The vehicle’s license plate was linked to an address in Seymour and as deputies headed to that location, they noticed the empty vehicle in a field in Jackson County. After having the vehicle towed, they continued to the Seymour residence where they spoke with 22-year-old Elijah Hubbard.

Hubbard was arrested on a preliminary felony charge of burglary.
