MISSISSIPPI COP KILLER HAD MDOC WARRANT FILED 20 MONTHS LATE, THE COPS BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS
PIKE COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) - The suspect who shot and killed a Summit Police officer Thursday had a warrant filed weeks earlier, ordering law enforcement to arrest him for violating conditions of a 2020 prison release, according to records obtained exclusively by 3 On Your Side.
Our investigation reveals that Usher Leonard, 25, had violated his post-release supervision requirements by failing to check in with the Mississippi Department of Corrections for more than a year.
It’s unclear whether Leonard’s apparent violation of the law might have played a role in what took place Wednesday when state investigators say he shot and killed Summit Police Officer Troy Floyd.
However, WLBT found the affidavit supporting a warrant for Leonard’s arrest came nearly 20 months before the court apparently approved it, on October 10, 2022.
The court did not provide any documentation for the delay in its official filings or docket.
Leonard’s post-release conditions stemmed from a 2018 conviction on 11 burglary counts and eight counts of conspiracy to commit burglary in Pike County.
He served two years of a six-year sentence, with MDOC releasing him through earned release supervision.
Seven months later, authorities found Leonard had violated his post-release conditions by failing to pay court fines or complete his restitution.
