Mark Lesure, a barber and longtime resident of Senatobia, was accosted by police officers after his girlfriend’s 16-year-old son was approached by officers.

Lesure told Red State that the youngster was walking home from school in mid-December 2023 when he was approached by the officers, who were patrolling the area investigating reports of an individual who “had shot a person two or three streets over with a pellet gun,” according to the barber.
