Drive-By Shooting in Lafayette County

Excerpted from today's Oxford Eagle Crime Report:


    A Lafayette County woman was arrested Monday and charged with drive-by shooting

for an incident that occurred Saturday, according to the Lafayette County Sheriff's

Department.

    Kimberly Johnson, 37, of Suncrest Drive was picked up on a warrant Monday by

deputies and taken to the Lafayette County Detention Center where she was booked

without a bond pending a first appearance hearing.

    Investigator Scott Mills said Johnson was one of two suspects being charged with

shooting at a female victim in the Brittany Woods subdivision on Saturday, although no

one was injured.


According to Mississippi Statute Section 97-3-109, a person is guilty of the felony of
drive-by shooting if she attempts,
other than for lawful self-defense, to cause serious
bodily injury to another, or causes such injury purposely, knowingly
or recklessly under
circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life by discharging a firearm
while in or on a vehicle. A person convicted of drive-by shooting shall be
punished by a prison term not to exceed thirty
(30) years and a fine not to exceed Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
