Friday, March 12, 2004 — A Moss Point woman charged with domestic violence and aggravated assault is accused of stabbing a man.
Ruth Hays, 37, was arrested Thursday night in connection with the stabbing of Phillip Deas, of Delius Circle in Moss Point. Deas was taken to Singing River Hospital for treatment. Hays was jailed on a $10,000 bond.
April 6, 2004, Rocky Creek (AP) — A George County woman was free on bond Tuesday following her arrest in last December's shooting death of her husband, authorities said.
Patricia Lambert Simpson, arrested Monday, was indicted by a George County grand jury for murder in the death of her husband, Donald Buford Simpson.
Sheriff's investigator Ronnie Lambert said Mrs. Simpson, 54, called authorities on December 22, 2003, and reported that her husband had been injured in an accidental shooting.
When deputies arrived at the couple's home, authorities said they learned Donald Simpson had been taken by helicopter to the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile, Alabama, and that Patricia Simpson was also in route to the hospital.
Lambert said Donald Simpson, 64, had been shot with a small caliber handgun. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
Lambert said Patricia Simpson became the main suspect as the investigation continued and pathology reports came in. In July 2006 she was convicted and sentenced to serve 15 years and then 5 years probation to follow the prison term.
July 28, 2006 — A woman fled with her two children after severely burning her husband with hot cooking oil as he slept, authorities said. The FBI said she fled in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix with a retired U.S. Navy license plate.
Investigators said 45-year-old Edna May Sanders fled the couple's home with their two children on July 28 after dumping a pot of hot grease on her husband, leaving him with third-degree burns on more than half of his body. Authorities said the two were married only a short time. They were unsure what led to the assault and police have no motive for the killing.
Apparently Edna May Sanders turned on the stove Friday and heated about two quarts of oil, waited until the grease reached a simmer and then poured the oil over her husband, covering his head, face, chest and arms.
The Sun Herald reported that the burns to Sherman's head, face, chest and arms were so severe he had to use a car horn to alert a neighbor that he needed help because he was unable to dial a phone. The man did speak briefly to investigators.
Sherman Sanders survived for a week in the burn center at the University of South Alabama. After his death county investigators intensified the search for his wife.
"I've been in law enforcement 14 years and that was the worse thing I've ever seen," sheriff's investigator Ricky Fayard said. "His skin was dripping off of him."
FBI Special Agent Jason Pack confirmed that federal authorities will provide assistance to the Hancock County Sheriff's Department in the nationwide search. Hancock investigators said because Sanders may have crossed state lines, the FBI can lend its resources. Hancock investigators think Mrs. Sanders is probably seeking shelter with family in Louisiana or Texas.
Neighbors said there were no visible signs of marital problems between the Sanders and that the family kept to themselves.
Kenny Hurt, Hancock's chief investigator, said there is no history of domestic violence between the couple at their current address.
August 27, 2007 (AP) — Mississippi police have arrested a South Carolina man in the shooting death of a man nine years ago.
Police in Pascagoula, Mississippi went to Moncks Corner late last week and arrested 30-year-old David Allen Stokes and charged him with capital murder.
Stokes is charged in the 1998 death of 29-year-old Tony Glenn Junior.
Police have also charged Glenn's wife, 34-year-old Karrie Linnette Glenn of Pascagoula, with capital murder.
Police say Tony Glenn was shot to death in his bed at his home in Orange Grove, Mississippi.
Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd says investigators think Stokes and Karrie Glenn had a relationship.
