The Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) recently conducted a search warrant on a truck stop in Corinth, Mississippi, after receiving complaints about the sale of illegal substances.
According to a statement released by ACSO on May 2, Alcorn County residents issued several complaints about stores selling illegal items such as Kratom and Tianeptine.
Following these complaints, ACSO conducted multiple undercover operations, which they say led to the discovery that the 45 Truck Stop (located at 753 Highway 45 South in Corinth) was in violation of an Alcorn County Ordinance prohibiting the use, purchase, possession, distribution, sale or offering for sale of synthetic cannabinoids and other synthetic products, which has been in effect since 2019.
On April 10, 2025, a search warrant was conducted at the 45 Truck Stop, leading to the seizure of the following items:
- Viva Zen with Kratom – 2 oz bottles – 1,251 bottles
- O.P.M.S. Kratom – 0.3 oz bottles – 21 bottles
- K Shot Black Kratom – 0.3 oz bottles – 6 bottles
- O.P.M.S. Black Kratom – 4 packs that contain 5 per pack
- Viva Ven with Kratom – 0.5 oz bottles – 204 bottles
- K-Chill Kratom – 2 oz bottles – 162 bottles
- K- Shot Kratom – 0.5 oz bottles – 275 bottles
- KNU Kratom – 2 oz bottles – 93 bottles
- Perks Pill Pack – 47 packs
- ZTab with Kratom – 255 packs
- Zen 30 MG with Kratom – 20 packs
- 7HMZ with Kratom – 6 packs
Police also found that the 45 Truck Stop was in possession of 27 bottles of ZaZa white, used in the making of Tianeptine, a Schedule I Controlled Substance.
Officers also found Sildenafil (Viagra), 912 tablets of 200mg and 2,598 tablets of 100mg, displayed for sale at the truck stop.
The 45 Truck Stop clerks were issued citations.
On April 29, 2025, the owner of the 45 Truck Stop, Adel Ahmed Bader, turned himself on charges of possession of a counterfeit substance with intent to distribute and possession of a controlled substance. He was later released on bond.
ACSO says that more charges could be pending in relation to the prescription drugs seized at the store.
“These substances are dangerous to our citizens and our community. We will continue to investigate any and all allegations of businesses selling these illegal substances,” ACSO said.
