Man faces charges in hit and run By SUE WATSON Officers with the Holly Springs Police Department made three felony arrests last week. Andrew Tudor, 25, of the 300 block of Byhalia Creek Farms Road, was charged with felony leaving the scene of an accident with a fatality and manslaughter, police chief Robert Pearson said. The accident occurred in the street in front of Fred’s at about 9:24 p.m. Saturday, June 4. Pearson said John Thomas, 49, was struck in the street as he apparently was crossing it. Tudor left the scene but a citizen followed the pickup he was driving and got a description of the vehicle and tag number, according to the chief. The tag number was traced to the pickup owner in DeSoto County, the father-in-law, who is believed not to have known or given permission for the pickup to have been taken, Pearson said. The pickup was abandoned in Yalobusha County, and the suspect was picked up, walking along Highway 51, by the Panola County Sheriff’s Department officers, he said. Pearson thanked citizens who took action to get a description of the vehicle and tag number that helped locate the pickup and the suspect. “It is great to have that type of assistance from the citizens,” Pearson said. Also last week, Sammy Jones, 27, of the 200 block of North Bonner Street, was arrested and charged with domestic violence, third offense, Pearson said.
