WORDLAW Daily Journal JACKSON – Because a trial court did not say where the crime took place, an Oktibbeha County man will get a new trial. James Wordlaw was stopped Christmas Eve 2013 as he drove through Starkville. He consented to a search of the vehicle, which uncovered crack cocaine. During his July 2015 trial in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court, Wordlaw was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced as a habitual offender to six years in prison.
