Convicted drug dealer back in custody after escaping DeSoto County Courthouse
SUMMARY: Stephen Russell, Jr., a 27-year-old convicted drug dealer, is back in custody after escaping from a Mississippi courthouse on Monday. He was at the DeSoto County Courthouse for his plea and sentencing for trafficking fentanyl when he faked a medical emergency, allowing him to flee in his parked car, despite being handcuffed. Russell was apprehended within a mile of the courthouse. District Attorney Matthew Barton confirmed that additional charges are being pursued due to the escape, which could extend Russell’s prison time. This incident marks the fourth escape in DeSoto County this year, following several other cases.

Mistrial declared in case of man accused of killing Ole Miss student
SUMMARY: A mistrial was declared in the capital murder case of Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington, Jr., accused of killing former Ole Miss student Jimmie “Jay” Lee. After over nine hours of deliberation, the jury was deadlocked at 11-1 on a verdict. Herrington faced multiple charges, with prosecutors alleging he murdered Lee to hide a romantic relationship. Lee, a notable member of the LGBTQ+ community, has been missing since July 2022. The defense argued insufficient evidence linked Herrington to the crime. Despite evidence suggesting suspicious behavior, the jury ultimately couldn’t agree, prompting a retrial to be scheduled by the judge.
