PASS CHRISTIAN (GG) — On Thursday, October 1, 2026, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) arrested three individuals on felony charges for trafficking Fentanyl. The suspects arrested were William Cordero Harris, P’Trance Bijan Fields, and Marcus Deshawn Price, all of Gulfport on a charge of Trafficking of a Controlled Substance, Fentanyl.
The Harrison County Narcotics Task Force Investigators conducted an operation and identified the aforementioned subjects as mid-level Fentanyl distributors along the Gulf Coast. County Investigators and Deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the individuals that progressed into a vehicle and foot pursuit in the city of Pass Christian.
All subjects were subsequently apprehended and learned to have possessed distribution quantities of Fentanyl.
In all, Investigators recovered over (250) grams of fentanyl from the scene. The amount of fentanyl recovered could have resulted in lethal doses capable of causing death to thousands of individuals if distributed as intended.
The Harrison County Narcotics Task Force Investigators furthered the investigation and also seized illicit currency correlated to drug distribution. All three subjects were transported and booked into the Harrison County Jail in Gulfport held without bond pending an initial appearance before Harrison County Justice Court Judge Theressia Lyons.
The Department of Homeland Security and US Drug Enforcement Administration also assisted in the investigation and will continue to seek and identify other co-conspirators associated with the source and distribution of the Fentanyl. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) and its Narcotics Task Force maintains their proactive stance against Fentanyl and other illicit drugs plaguing our community.
Harrison County Sheriff Matt Haley has vowed to continue his cooperation and partnerships with local, state, and federal resources to identify, arrest, and prosecute any individuals involved in illicit drug possession and distribution.
