A Madison attorney got herself into some trouble with the law not once, but twice recently. Madison police arrested Mindy McKay-Morton on September 9, 2023 and charged her with DUI refusal to take test. However, it would not be her last arrest in the city of Madison.
The police report states someone reported a white SUV was "carelessely driving" on Highway 463. An officer found the vehicle and stopped McKay-Morton. The incident took place at 3 PM. Officer Tucker Millican stated in his report:
The suspect's husband arrived at the scene and took possession of the family dog as well as her vehicle. Millican charged McKay-Morton with DUI 1st refusal and only gave her a written warning for careless driving. However, the police report states the suspect was somewhat resistant at the police station.
McKay-Morton told the police she used to be a Rankin County public defender.
She pleaded guilty on April 11, 2024 in Madison Municipal Court where she entered the non-adjudication program. She was fined $788, required to get an interlock device on her vehicle for 120 days, complete MASEP, and participate in the victim impact panel. The final adjudication date was October 10, 2024.
Fast forward to September 24. A hit and run accident took place at the intersection of Highway 463 and Galleria Parkway. The driver of one car described the fleeing vehicle to police. Gluckstadt police caught up with Mckay-Morton traveling north on the Galleria Parkway in her Mercedes-Benz SUV. She was arrested and taken to the Madison Police Department. MPD charged McKay-Morton with leaving the scene of an accident, DUI refusal, disorderly conduct, driving on a suspended driver's license, and simple assault on a police officer. Sources say the alleged assault took place during booking.
The defendant is 43 years old. She is scheduled to appear in Madison Municipal Court on December 19.

Call an Uber. Dang.
Sure glad she using Medicinal Marijuana. Seems to help, not.
Get out of Madison while you can!
oh no the party may finally be ending her! Some one please remind her she’s not in the sorority house in Miami anymore!
Just goes to show that one doesn't have to be smart, to be a lawyer. Lawyers hardly ever totally pay for their crimes. Maybe this time will prove me wrong.
The Mississippi Bar has a well-run Lawyers and Judges Assistance Program. I hope the Bar will step in and provide this dope-head/lush some assistance.

County, ...............
"The Mississippi Bar has a well-run Lawyers and Judges Assistance Program. I hope the Bar will step in and provide this dope-head/lush some assistance." If it's handled as well as Carlos the Clown's issues are handled, no sweat, she'll walk with no punishment.
Just goes to show how lenient DUI cases are treated in this state. She got off with a slap on the wrist the first time. Could have killed someone the second time. I guess legislators set it up that way for when they are caught DUI.
3:31 is correct. In addition, since this is her second time, the Bar will probably suspend her from the practice of law until such time as she completes her time in rehabilitation, and is able to demonstrate that she has her addiction under control.
There is a reason that it is called "the bar" in the legal profession.
How does this happen a 2nd time and now a felony?
Not a felony. Third offense is.
