NATCHEZ — A man whose 25-year prison sentence was suspended after he served one day of it in September 2011 will now have to spend that time in jail after he admitted to sharing a car with an accused killer on the night of a recent murder.

Judge Lillie Blackmon-Sanders sentenced Steven Woods to 25 years in the Mississippi Department of Corrections on Sept. 1 for possession of cocaine. She suspended that after he served one day.

After his release, Woods was to have five years supervised probation and five additional years unsupervised probation. He was also required to pay $20,000 to Adams County Drug Court.

Woods appeared Thursday in Adams County Circuit Court on charges he had violated his probation.

Sanders said an affidavit filed against Woods said he had violated three clauses of his probation — that he had relocated his residence without contacting MDOC, that he had been out after the court-ordered curfew between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. and that he had not avoided persons of disreputable character.

In this case, the person of disreputable character was Cedric Dewayne Ward, 33, 406 Maple St., Vidalia, who is accused in the April 1 shooting death of Cleveland Ezell Wilson, 41.

The affidavit against Woods alleged he had admitted to investigators that he was in the same vehicle with Ward on the morning that Ward allegedly gunned down Wilson just before 5 a.m., Sanders said.

That date is also when Woods was accused of breaking curfew.

Tim Cotton, the defendant’s attorney, said Woods admitted to the violations and waived a formal hearing for the matter.

Sanders revoked the probation and told Woods he will have to serve the 25 years.
