There was sirens and flashing red & blue lights filling the damp night air in Sparta, Mississippi. The police cars were parked around the dark lake, crime scene tape tied around the bank. Someone had attempted to run you off the road into the lake, your vehicle was currently stuck in the lake and the officers of city and county sheriff’s department were walking around working to pull your vehicle out of the lake.

One of the young officers of the small Sparta Police Department walked up to with a clipboard & pen to get your statement. The officer asked you politely, keeping a gentle voice. “Hello Ma’am, I’m Sergeant Jamison. I need to ask you what happened exactly.”
