Teen's charges bound over in deaf man's shooting
A teenager accused of robbing and shooting a deaf man June 21 at Guardian Courts Apartments is now serving out a sentence for violating probation.
Dana Tyrone Hardin, 18, was sentenced Thursday in Jackson City Court to 11 months and 29 days in jail on a violation of probation charge, according to the court clerk's office.
Hardin, who is facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated robbery, also remains in jail on a $100,000 bond.
According to Jackson Police, Hardin approached and robbed the victim at gunpoint about 11:45 p.m. June 21. When the victim attempted to get away from the robber, he was shot once in the neck and once in the leg, police said.
The victim is reportedly in good condition.
Police said Hardin was arrested by Violent Crime and Gang Unit investigators during a follow-up investigation at Patrician Terrace Apartments.
The grand jury is scheduled to met on Sept. 11.
