SUMMARY: Lamar County deputies arrested 47-year-old Jeb Travis Clearman after he allegedly fired shots at them. The incident occurred early on June 28. Deputies originally responded to a disturbance call at Clearman's Oak Grove residence, where he was yelling profanities after an earlier altercation at a convenience store. After initially telling Clearman to go inside, deputies were called back when he continued yelling from his porch and fired a weapon at them. Clearman was arrested without further incident and charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and disturbing the peace. No deputies were injured.

SUMMARY: Jada Kelly, accused of killing two people in a DUI crash in Jackson, Mississippi, is seeking to have evidence of her alleged intoxication excluded from the case. Kelly's lawyer is challenging the reliability of a breathalyzer test, which indicated a blood alcohol level of 0.18, over twice the legal limit of 0.08. The defense argues that Kelly was not properly informed of her right to refuse the test. The fatal crash occurred on January 15, 2023, killing Azure Higgins, 46, and Valerie Lynch, 43. Kelly faces charges of aggravated DUI.
