Two men wanted on outstanding warrants, as well as a third suspect, are behind bars after deputies with the Bulloch County Sheriff's Targeted Enforcement Patrol, or STEP, acted on a citizen's tip. STEP deputies responded Thursday to Burkhalter Mobile Home Park, "where a tipster indicated two wanted brothers were living and possibly using methamphetamine," Sheriff Lynn Anderson said. When deputies arrived, they spoke with Jerry Foster Morris Jr. and saw James Edward Powell flee to the rear of the home, he said.
