BATESVILLE, MS : 2 teens charged in crash that kills Mississippi constable on Thursday, 12th December, 2019
A prosecutor says two teenagers have been charged with murder in a wreck that killed a Mississippi law enforcement officer.
Panola County Constable Raye Hawkins died Thursday when a pickup truck smashed into the vehicle he was driving in Batesville. Hawkins was responding to help officers from another county who were chasing what was believed to be a stolen truck.
District Attorney John Champion said at a news conference Thursday that a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were in the truck. He said the truck “crushed and mangled” Hawkins' vehicle, killing the constable instantly.
