• Authorities have arrested five alleged accomplices—including Tanaka Brown, Giovonte Thomas, Dearrah Sanders and Brandon Powell—on accessory and conspiracy charges for aiding Drummond.
• Investigators recovered Drummond’s white 1988 Ford pickup in Dyer County and his white 2016 Audi A3 in Jackson, but he remains at large.
