Indictments are being served from the most recent Lincoln County grand jury session in April. Indictments are only made public once the suspect has been served.

Christopher Leigh Hamilton

Christopher Leigh Hamilton, 40, of 603 Lola Dunn Road, was indicted on two counts of attempted murder, two counts of the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and shooting into a motor vehicle.

Hamilton’s indictment alleges that he fired at sheriff’s deputies who were trying to serve him warrants on Dec. 3.

Lincoln County Sheriff Steve Rushing said Hamilton reportedly fired a rifle at officers after they made initial contact with him at the residence at 421 River Road Drive.

Deputies returned fire. Rushing said Hamilton was hit in the arm during the incident. Hamilton was transported to the University of Mississippi Medical Center after being shot by the deputies.

Hamilton is in the Lincoln County Jail with a $1,025,000 bond amount.
