The Issaquena Grand Jury, which convened Monday, reviewed two criminal cases and issued indictments in both.

Both defendants were arraigned — formally notified of the charges against them — in court by presiding Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick.

Indicted were:

• John Earl Gibbs, 29, 456 Pine St., Rolling Fork — possession of contraband in a jail or correctional facility, Oct. 10.

• Kenneth Christopher Hunt, 36, 117 Ripley St., Mayersville — grand larceny, Aug. 14.

The Issaquena County Grand Jury meets twice annually. It is next scheduled to convene June 13 with Circuit Judge M. James Chaney presiding.

In addition to reviewing criminal cases and deciding if there is enough evidence to go to trial, the panel of 18 jurors also met with law enforcement, toured the jail and courthouse and issued a report of recommendations.

Included on the report were requests for more record-storage space in county offices; repairs at the courthouse, jail and sheriff’s department; and the need for additional funding for law enforcement salaries and training.

In Warren County Circuit Court, no sentences or revocations were reported for the week ending Friday.
