UNION COUNTY, Miss. –Bond has been revoked for the man accused of driving drunk and hitting a vehicle that was carrying a group of Briarcrest students.
Melandus Penson appeared in court on Wednesday to determine if he should receive bond.
The state submitted a motion to deny bond saying Penson was a danger to the community.
The prosecutor even said Penson operating a vehicle was like giving him a deadly weapon.
They called Mississippi Highway Patrol Trooper Leo Hampton the stand.
Hampton told the courtroom Penson’s blood alcohol count was .14 at the time, almost twice the legal limit.
Penson told officers he was coming home from Arkansas, but also made a stop in Memphis.
