A Marion County man today pleaded guilty to manufacturing methamphetamine and was sentenced to prison.
William Eisworth, 36, was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with seven years to serve and the remaining 13 suspended. Once he gets out of prison, he will be on probation for five years. Eisworth was also sentenced to three additional years in prison for revoking his probation from a previous possession of methamphetamine charge. Therefore, Eisworth has a total of 10 years to serve in the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
Eisworth was sentenced in Lamar County Circuit Court by the Honorable Prentiss Harrell. Eisworth was arrested in February after authorities with the Pearl River Basin Narcotics Task Force, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at 71 H.K. Watts Lane and located an active meth lab. Another suspect, 17-year-old Forrest Dixon, 642 Gobler Head Road, Poplarville, was also arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine and manufacturing methamphetamine.
After the raid, agents reported seizing 73 grams of “meth oil,” an active meth lab, three rifles, a shotgun and a pistol. Methamphetamine was in the process of being made when agents entered the residence, according to officials. According to agents, the ingredients used to make meth were also found at the residence including fertilizer, hydrochloric acid, pseudoephedrine, lantern fuel and lithium batteries.








































Idont guess politics could help old william this time.
Politics? What does that have to do with him being arrested and convicted?
Well, then again, that could explain why City Hall is going to hell in a hand basket…
Outstanding! Repeat offenders deserve no mercy. Clandestine Methamphetamine production should be a zero tolerance crime. My hat is off to the Pearl River Basin Narcotics Task Force and the Marion County Sheriffs Oiffice for the excellent investigations. Muy hat is off to Sheriff Hall who by far has exceeded the past administration in narcotics enforcement! This website is more than usually filled with negativity, I think the public should take note of the efforts of local law enforcement, they truly are our first line of defense in Marion County and often go unnoticed and un recognized!
I am SO glad to hear somebody with this mentality!!!! Thank you so much for recognizing the Task Force and Sheriff’s Office! These men work harder and longer than most people ever dream of and I for one am extremely proud of the work they do! Good job guys and keep up the hard work!!!!
TROUBLES AHEAD FOR HIM .
An Eisworth being held accountable? What’s the world coming to?
I couldn’t have said it better myself. This has been long over due. I wonder what the people who believed in his innocence must be thinking! Because he said he was innocent and if he said it, it must be true!
THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SAY YES TO THINGS YOU DIDNT DO FOR THE BETTER OR OTHERS. DONT MAKE COMMEITS IF YOU DONT KNOW THE WHOLE STORY. PEOPLE THINK THEY DO BUT THEY REALLY DONT.
First of all, you have to say “yes” when you’re caught red-handed. Second, did you ever think that maybe YOU don’t know the whole story?? Maybe you know only what some one wants you to know.
DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE WHOLE STORY. OR JUST WHAT SOMEONE TOLD YOU. THINK ABOUT THAT.
Glad to see the slaps on the wrists have come to an end for William Eisworth! However, he will be 46 when he gets out (IF he serves the whole ten years, which is unlikely) and still quite young enough to continue his dope dealing which has been going on for YEARS!
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?
Adios Amigo!
PEOPLE MAKE MIASTAKES.. LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CASS THE FIRST STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you meant “cast the first stone.” In referencing moral sin, you are quite right and I hope that William will reform and come out a better man. However, if I decided to make a career change and go into the field of illegal drug production, I would fully understand the consequences of my actions when caught. Unfortunately, he did make his bed and now will have to sleep in it.
THANK YOU YES I MENT CAST..
This aint his first time grow up sexy he is like all cons he can talk a good line an that sounds like what he has done to you. I know i been there before with a different guy …..
