BROOKHAVEN — A Brookhaven man will be formally arraigned on Sept. 10, 2024 at 9 a.m. in the Lincoln County Courthouse. Travis Antonio Brinson faces three counts of attempted murder and one count of shooting into a moving vehicle. 

Brookhaven Police Department Chief Kenneth Collins said on May 26, 2023 his arrest stemmed from a fight that began around noon on May 23, 2023 in Pine Haven Trailer Park.

Officers responded to calls of two females fighting. About a half-hour later, Brinson reportedly saw a male and female with a child in a car on Myra Street, and started shooting at the car. Collins said the events were related.

Once Brinson was in custody and inside a fenced-in area of the jail, he escaped by jumping over a 6-foot-tall fence. He was recaptured after committing burglary and assault, Collins said in May 2023. 

Brinson was set to appear in court on August 12 initially for his arraignment. In addition to his arraignment, Brinson is scheduled to stand trial for escaping from the jail according to the District 14 Lincoln County Docket.
