The Meridian Police Department reported a successful and significant arrest made by the Meridian-Garden City Impact Team on Thursday, February 29th, 2024, executing a search warrant on the 5700 block of N. Garrett St., Garden City.

Halladay, currently on parole for Possession with Intent to Deliver Drugs, was taken into custody during the operation.
