Man accused of assaulting an officer in Lee Co.
LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A Lee County man is in jail on a $1 million bond, accused of assaulting law enforcement officers.
Earlier this week, Lee County Deputies responded to a disturbance in the Mooreville area.
When they got there, they reportedly found a man, identified as Corey Carroll, wielding a hammer and threatening law enforcement officers.
They say Carroll attempted to assault an officer.
Carroll reportedly assaulted two other officers during the arrest.
Carroll was charged with Aggravated Assault on a Law enforcement Officer and two counts of Simple Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer.
A Justice Court Judge set Carroll’s bond at $1 million.
The Sheriff’s Office said Carroll has an extensive criminal history, and they are planning to push for him to be tried as a habitual offender.
