May pursuit ends with arrest of Verona man
On May 25 just before 2 p.m., Tupelo police officers conducted a routine stop for multiple traffic violations on the Natchez Trace Parkway. Since the driver was acting erratic, the officer told the driver to step out of the vehicle. Instead of complying, the driver sped away, initiating a pursuit. The patrol officers terminated the pursuit shortly thereafter for safety reasons.
The investigation led police to Kadejah S. Martin, 31, of East Main Street, Verona, who was arrested on June 30 and charged with one count of felony fleeing, as well as misdemeanor counts of careless driving, disobeying a police officer, DUI-first, reckless driving and resisting arrest.
Tupelo Municipal Court Judge Harry Sumner set Martin's bond at $50,000. She remained in the Lee County Adult Jail Thursday afternoon.

It all happened so quickly. On June 6, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents descended upon Los Angeles, raiding businesses and arresting more than 40 people. Once word got out on social media, protests began and L.A. Taco's six-person news team headed out to the streets. Investigative reporter Lexis-Olivier Ray captured video of police firing pepper balls at protesters and media at the downtown Los Angeles Federal Building. The next day, law enforcement shot pepper balls at him and other journalists, he said. In five years of covering protests and civil unrest in the city, he had never seen anything like that.
