AMITE COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – A grand jury will hear the case of a man who is charged in the death of an Amite County 10-year-old.

Investigator Danny Meaux, with the Amite County Sheriff’s Office, said the incident occurred on Old 24 Compromise Road between 11:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. on April 6, 2025.

According to Meaux, the victim, Jordan Hill, was on an ATV when he was hit by a truck.

Investigators said the suspect, Cody Rollinson, was arrested the day of the incident. He was charged with possession of marijuana in a motor vehicle and felony leaving the scene of an accident.

The Natchez Democrat reported the charges against Rollinson could be upgraded to vehicular homicide, pending the grand jury’s decision. Sixth Circuit District Attorney Tim Cotton said toxicology reports from the accident have not been completed.

During his initial court appearance in April, Rollinson received a $41,000 bond.
