Chris Massey
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – The Olive Branch police chief says Mississippi state Sen. Chris Massey has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault after a fight in a subdivision.
Chief Don Gammage tells The Associated Press that Massey, who’s a homebuilder, is accused of hurting another person with some sort of a weapon – not a gun.
Gammage says police responded to a call about the fight in the suburb of Memphis, Tennessee, just before 11 a.m. Thursday and arrested Massey, the senator’s father and two other men.
A judge set a $10,000 bond for the 44-year-old Massey and the chief said it was too soon to know whether Massey is represented by an attorney.
A call to Massey’s cellphone was not immediately answered. The Republican from Nesbit has been a senator since 2012.
