ADAMS COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – Adams County deputies arrested a man and a woman in connection to a carjacking.

Deputies responded to a home on Lower Woodville Road around 11:35 p.m. on July 5.

Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten said the victim’s vehicle was approached by a black 2015 Nissan Altima on Highway 2002. He said the Altima was being driven by Yasmine Lyles, with Jordan Butler as a passenger.

The victim reported that Butler pointed a firearm and made verbal threats during the encounter.

After the victim fled to a nearby residence for safety, Patten said the suspects followed. One of the suspects then allegedly entered the vehicle’s truck and drove away from the scene.
