Cortavion Dewayne Hobbs (19, driver) and Cortavious Lawayne Hobbs (18) shot Covington County Deputy Yates Rodney during a routine traffic stop in Mount Olive, MS on June 8 for not wearing a seatbelt.
They got nervous, fled, vehicle got stuck in mud near a store. They initially complied… then the backseat passenger got up, went to the front, and opened fire. Cortavion fired too. Deputy hit above his vest, under the armpit/side, bullet penetrated his spinal column.
Deputy Rodney is now paralyzed from the waist down. Stable condition at Forrest General, breathing on his own, good spirits, but facing a long road with more surgeries. Newlywed.
Pray he is able to walk again 🙏🏻
These two were charged with two counts of attempted capital murder hindering prosecution (Cortavion also felony fleeing). No bond on the serious charges.
Their other brother was just charged in a double homicide of an elderly couple in a neighboring county days earlier.
Life in prison for all 3 brothers! Nothing less.
