White father and son who boasted of being a 'Redneck Neighborhood Watch' in rural Mississippi 'chase two black teenagers on ATVS in their truck and shoot at them'
Wade Twiner, 48, and his son, Lane Twiner, 22, have each been charged with three counts of aggravated assault, said Chief Deputy Joseph Head of the Yazoo County Sheriff's Office in central Mississippi.
No one was hurt in the incident, which occurred on Sunday night, and bore striking similarities to the case of Ahmaud Arbery - a 25-year-old black man who was shot and killed by a white father and son in February while he was out jogging.
The two teenagers were riding ATVs on a country road close to the Twiners' home, Head said.
At some point, the father and son began chasing after the two boys, firing several shots and bumping into one of the ATVs with the pickup.
'Not only did they shoot at him, they also ran into the back of his four wheeler, and that could also have been murder right then and there,' said the mother of one of two black teens, speaking to WLBT3.
The victim told the channel told it might make more sense to him if they had been trespassing, but they were on the road, and they were not close to the Twiners' residence either.
A 9mm handgun was recovered by authorities Sunday night.
Both Twiners were arrested and transported to Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility.
The Twiners have been released on bail. It was not immediately clear whether they have an attorney who could comment for them.
Yazoo County Sheriff Jake Sheriff told WLBT that the Twiners told law enforcement they own land on both sides of the road and that they should not have to deal with people riding ATVs on the road, since it is against the law.
