RIDGECREST — A Ridgecrest man was charged with negligent homicide Wednesday in connection to a Dec. 14 traffic accident that led to the death of a 1-year-old.

Morris Brandon Davis, 38, 128 Willow Drive, Ridgecrest, turned himself into the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office Wednesday morning.

He was released on $10,000 bond set by District Judge Leo Boothe.

The victim, Anthony B. Atkins, was injured in the accident and died Sunday, Dec. 18, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Atkins, who was being held by his mother, was reportedly injured by a passing vehicle’s side-view mirror while his mother walked on Cowan Street in Ridgecrest, according to a press release by the sheriff’s office.

Davis immediately notified the sheriff’s office of the accident.
