Murder Suspect in Court

The D’iberville man who stole a vehicle and crashed it, killing his mother on July 29th is being charged with murder in the death of Millicent Smith. Twenty-four year old Marshall Smith made his initial appearance in court this morning.
The crash that killed Millicent Smith happened after D’iberville police responded to a report of a fight last Wednesday evening. When police officers attempted to arrest Smith, he drove off, almost hitting two police cars. He eventually lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree.
Smith is being held at the Jackson County Adult Detention Center on a $75,000 bond.
