Harper was one of five people indicted in August 2017 for a drive-by shooting that occurred six months earlier in Vicksburg, the Post reported. The victim, who was shot in the leg, recovered from his injury, the newspaper reported.
Harper was charged with possession of a stolen firearm and as an accessory after the fact, according to the Post. Harper was accused of trying to get rid of the .40 caliber Glock handgun that police believed was used in the shooting.
