LOWNDES COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — The Lowndes County Grand Jury has indicted a New Hope man accused of shooting two sheriff’s deputies earlier this year.

The grand jury issued indictments against Kent Coscia for two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer at the end of its session 10 days ago.

Coscia has not yet been arraigned in Lowndes County Circuit Court.

He remains in jail on a bond of more than $3 million for the March 17 shooting of deputies Clint Sims and Larry Swearingen through the door of his Drake Circle home. Deputy Scott Glasgow also was injured.

The three had gone to Coscia’s home on a welfare check.

The two deputies have returned to work but continue to recover.

No date has been set for Coscia’s arraignment.
