RANKIN COUNTY, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
A Brandon man tells 3 On Your Side he is a Good Samaritan turned victim.
Allen Turner says he witnessed an accident at Highway 80 and Crossgates when a man, Turner, identified as Michael Porter left the scene.
Turner found Porter in the Crossgates Subdivision and describes what happened next. "I was on the phone with 911 and uh, next thing you know he's getting in his car we thought he was trying to drive off or something. He just got in his car, did a u-turn right in the middle of his yard, and just decided to plow into the front of my truck, and backed up and did it again," said Turner.
There is damage to Allen Turner's SUV.
Brandon Police say Porter has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident and felony malicious mischief. He remains in jail on a more than $100,000 bond.
Police would not say if Porter was involved in the same incident Turner described.
Sources tell WLBT Porter has a long criminal history of violence.
