A grand jury in the Second Judicial District in Water Valley handed down indictments on 31 true bills during court Wednesday morning, Dec. 10. Members of the grand jury heard testimony from 38 witnesses. The jurors delivered seven “no bills,” after deciding not to indict on these cases after reviewing evidence presented by the prosecution. The indictments remain sealed until the accused is served by law enforcement.
The list of indictments are:
• Two counts of aggravated assault;
• One count of aggravated domestic violence;
• One count of sexual battery;
