Sep. 9—A U.S. Navy Sailor wanted by the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office for receiving of stolen property and evading arrest was captured Thursday afternoon in Florida after it was reported he had barricaded himself at Naval Air Station-Meridian Wednesday, officials said. Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun said Derrick Bernard Johnson was wanted for a series of incidents beginning Friday night when deputies received notification about a stolen vehicle along Hwy 19 North. Deputies, he said, found the empty vehicle and waited to see if anyone would return.
