A Bogue Chitto man taken into custody after multiple people were killed overnight, including a sheriff’s deputy, has a long criminal history according to arrest records.

Willie Cory Godbolt, 35, was taken into custody early Sunday morning as the suspect in the deaths of eight people. Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain said the shootings occurred at three separate homes in the county.

Lincoln County Sheriff Steve Rushing said a deputy and three others were killed on Lee Drive in Bogue Chitto. Two more people were shot and killed at a residence on Coopertown Road, he said. It was unclear where the third crime scene was located.

Godbolt in 2005 was charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault after he allegedly struck a man with a pistol and took his wallet, jewelry and cash outside a Bogue Chitto residence.
