LAMAR COUNTY, Miss. (WDAM) – A phalanx of law enforcement brought blinding lights and a slew of unanswered questions Friday night out to Old Highway 24 in Lamar County.
Dozens of vehicles created a perimeter that included Oak Grove Middle School and The Church of Latter Day Saints.
No official word on what prompted a response for Hattiesburg and Petal police departments, Mississippi Highway Patrol as well as Lamar County.
Lamar County dispatch is asking people to remain away from the scene and those nearby to stay indoors.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol said it had responded to a Lamar County deputy “needs assistance.”
