The Mobile County Sheriff's Office will soon be taking two more people off it's Most Wanted List. Deputies and U.S. Marshals arrested a man and his nephew who were on that list at a motel in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
Marshals tracked Mark and Jerry Fowler to the Twin Times Motel on Highway 90. Inside their room, Marshals say they found a fully operational meth lab. Both men were booked into the Jackson County Jail and will be extradited to Mobile.
54-year-old Mark Fowler was wanted for running a meth lab on his houseboat at Dead Lake Marina in Creola. The lab exploded September 11th. His nephew,
27-year-old Jerry Fowler, was wanted for operating a meth lab in Chunchula. When deputies showed up last month to investigate, Jerry ran into a nearby wooded area and escaped.

I personally know the Owner of the Motel, I, have been a resident there for 16 yrs. The comment about “housing illegals & outlaws” is simply NOT true.

This Motel and Mobile Home Park has been in business for over 30 years in the same location with the same owner. He is a well respected man in the community, takes pride in his business and cooperates fully with local Law Enforcement.

Motel patrons are required to produce a valid picture ID. No ID, No room regardless of Race, Creed or Color. Aynone causing problems will be banned from the property permanently.

As far as “housing illegal immigrants & outlaws” the same can be said for any hotel/motel in the country.

I guess the nephew tried to disguise himself by bleaching his hair?

The motel they were staying in is known for housing illegal immigrants and outlaws. Ocean Springs should try and put that dump out of business.
