The following Lincoln County Circuit Court cases were on Judge David H. Strong Jr.’s docket for Monday and were continued for various reasons.

WASHINGTON — First-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon

The omnibus hearing for Yaquilla Washington, 27, has been continued until Nov. 9 as the results of the defendant’s psychiatric evaluation are not available. This is the third hearing continued while the court waits on the results.

Washington, the man accused in the Dec. 24 death of Demetrius Wilson, pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. Washington was indicted in March for one count of first-degree murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

On Dec. 24, police arrested Washington after he allegedly shot Wilson at the Cloverdale apartments in Brookhaven. Police say Wilson had returned to the Cloverdale area from shopping with his girlfriend and noticed a man looking at him. Wilson and Washington allegedly engaged in a short conversation before Wilson and his girlfriend drove to another house in Cloverdale.

The girlfriend told police she entered a house and when she returned to the car she heard an argument between the two men followed by Washington allegedly shooting Wilson with a Smith & Wesson .38 special handgun.

SMITH — Aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer

The trial date for Chance Nicholas Smith, 22, was continued from Monday to Feb. 8, 2016, at 11 a.m. The order for agreed continuance requested by public defender Lesa Harrison says the continuance is “due to pending matters against the defendant in Forrest County.”

Smith, of 1311 Adolf Lane, was arrested Jan. 23 for aggravated assault on law enforcement and resisting arrest. Smith was indicted March 24 for the offense of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. His indictment says on or about July 11, 2014, Smith feloniously and purposely or knowingly attempt to cause bodily harm to an officer of the Brookhaven Police Department, Marzell Brooks, by shooting at him.

GLASS — Two counts of sexual battery

The trial of Clifton Alexander Glass, 20, was also continued from Monday to Feb. 8, 2016, at 9 a.m. The agreed order of continuance says both parties have agreed to move the date “because both parties were recently made aware of a new witness and need time to locate and interview him; and because both parties need additional time to locate another witness, who has moved.”

Glass, of 4612 Old 20 Road, Union Church, was arrested Dec. 31, 2014, for sexual battery. Glass was indicted on two charges of sexual battery on March 24. The indictment describes both counts as involving a female child who was at least 14 but under 16 years of age while Glass was more than 36 months older.

MULLIGAN — Embezzlement by a public employee

The trial date for Lindsey Grace Mulligan, 28, was also continued Monday until Feb. 8, 2016. The former deputy clerk in the office of the Lincoln County Tax Assessor/Collector was indicted for allegedly embezzling at least $16,000 in taxpayer money.

A grand jury indicted Mulligan, of 961 Old Rifle Range Road, Petal, on July 15 for embezzling approximately $16,215.12 during her employment in the tax office from April 21, 2009 to Nov. 9, 2009. Mulligan was arrested on July 18. She was released later that day and is out on $20,000 bond. Embezzlement by a public employee is not subject to a statute of limitations and carries penalties up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $25,000.
