Father-son duo arrested for chasing, shooting at black teens in Mississippi – By Dana Kennedy (New York Post) / Oct 3 2020
A white father and son from rural Mississippi have been arrested on charges of chasing two black teenagers in ATVs off the road, and then shooting at them from their pickup truck.
Wade Twiner, 48, and his son, Lane Twiner, 22, were each charged with three counts of aggravated assault, and the incident is being investigated by both federal officials and the local district attorney’s office as a possible hate crime, Yazoo County Sheriff Jacob Sheriff told the Clarion Ledger.
The Twiners told cops they own land on both sides of the road, pay taxes, and don’t want people riding ATVs on the road since it’s illegal.
The Twiners also rammed their truck into one of the ATVs, the sheriff said. Authorities found a 9mm handgun and believe another, unrecovered, firearm might have been involved.
