5/28/26 (7:26 PM) The Lewistown Police Department, Mifflin County Drug Task Force, Mifflin County Regional Police Department, and Granville Township Police Department assisted the PA State Police Troop G Vice Unit interdicting two subjects transporting fentanyl from Philadelphia destined for Centre and Clearfield Counties. PSP provided information regarding a vehicle travelling through Mifflin County from Philadelphia. Officers from MCRPD and LPD located the vehicle on 322 westbound in Derry Township and stopped the vehicle after observing the driver cross over white fog lines multiple times as well as equipment violations from heavy front-end damage on the vehicle.
Two occupants in the vehicle were identified as Bobbi L. Desousa (52 YOA, W/F, Warriors Mark, PA) and Tykeem R. Jenkins (28 YOA, B/M, Philadelphia, PA). Officers detected a strong odor of ma*****na from the vehicle. Officers had them exit the vehicle and Jenkins handed officers a bag of ma*****na. They were interviewed separately and Desousa said she knows Jenkins because she is romantically involved with him. Jenkins said Desousa was his “auntie”. The two subjects were taken into custody and a search of Desousa’s purse revealed a “crack pipe,” glassine baggies, and residual white drug powder. LPD and GTPD transported the two suspects back to the Lewistown Police Department.
The vehicle was towed to LPD and a search warrant was obtained from MDJ Ettinger. Officers and investigators searched the vehicle and located a “brick” of bagged fentanyl containing 78 individual bags of fentanyl. Desousa waived her Miranda rights and stated that she received cash and two baggies of fentanyl to transport Jenkins from Philadelphia to Centre and Clearfield Counties where he intended to sell the remaining brick of fentanyl.
Jenkins and Desousa were lodged in the Mifflin County Correctional Facility. Charges were filed through District Court 58-3-02 (MDJ Eric Ettinger's office).

Reel (23 YOA, W/M, Lewistown) recently broke up with a female. On this date, Reel noticed she blocked him on her social media accounts and he had another person look her up.

The female also began fighting with Reel in the hallway.
Reel told a detective that he heard Wilson say he was going to stab Reel and Reel saw a knife. Reel told Wilson that if he put the knife away, he would leave. As the fight came to an end, Reel went outside and heard Wilson say “That's why you got stabbed.” Reel felt som**hing wet on his leg and looked down to realize that he had two stab wounds to the upper part of his left leg. EMS responded and bandaged the wound. Reel refused further medical treatment. Wilson told investigators that he did not see Reel armed with any weapons and Wilson stabbed Reel because he thought that was the only way the altercation was going to end.
