Alex Deaton faces charges in Kansas before returning to Mississippi

Multi-state crime spree suspect Alex Deaton’s cases in Rankin County will be presented to a grand jury this month, but District Attorney Michael Guest says that it will be a while before he stands trial in the Magnolia state.
Guest says Kansas authorities have notified his office that they intended to bring Deaton to trial for crimes there before returning him to Mississippi.
Deaton is charged with one count of attempted first degree murder, theft, armed robbery and personal felony in Kansas. In Mississippi, he faces murder charges for the deaths of his girlfriend and another woman and aggravated assault after the shooting of a jogger.
He also faces carjacking charges in New Mexico.
