Sunflower police are currently looking for Markevious Carter who has one simple assault and two aggravated assault warrants awaiting him, with at least two of the three resulting from separate weekend altercations with fellow family members.
In an incident that took place around 3 p.m. on Saturday, Carter allegedly struck a 52-year-old woman in the face with a bottle, which resulted in injury, a trip to the emergency room and several stitches.
Then, on Sunday morning another altercation took place between Carter and the woman’s son when the son allegedly confronted Carter about hitting his mother the day before.
That encounter erupted into a squabble, which also resulted in a trip to the ER for the son who needed staples for a head wound derived from the injury, according to Sunflower Police Chief Louis Baymon.
Baymon said he is not sure of why the family members were feuding because he has been hearing different accounts of what transpired and said, “Until we catch up with Markevious, we won’t know.” Carter’s last known address is 103 Wilson St., in the Delta town.
