SOUTHAVEN, Miss. — The man accused of trying to run a Southaven, Mississippi, officer over in a stolen car will serve a five-year sentence after he violated his post-release supervision in another case, according to the DeSoto County District Attorney's Office. Coleman, 20, was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, conspiracy to commit a crime, disorderly conduct, suspended driver's license, fleeing/eluding an officer in a motor vehicle, two counts of possession of paraphernalia, receiving stolen property, resisting arrest, and violation of probation. The attorney's office said that in December 2024, he pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property and was sentenced to five years of post-release supervision, but because of the alleged incident on June 13, those five years have been revoked.
