The dispatcher relayed the information to the Sheriff by telephone, and the sheriff went outside, meeting with Davis on the driveway. Davis advised the Sheriff, along with other deputies dispatched to the Sheriff’s address, that he had been in a fight with 50-year-old Glynn Morehead at an address on Maryland Drive.
Deputies were immediately dispatched to the Maryland Drive address, and found a deceased, Glynn Morehead there. Davis was arrested and placed in the Harrison County Jail at around midnight for the offense of murder.
