Former Leflore County Supervisor Larry “Kite” Johnson, left, walks out of the Quitman County Circuit Clerk’s Office shortly after a judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence for Johnson to face felony assault charges for allegedly beating a 10-year-old special-needs student with a belt at Quitman County Middle School, where Johnson was a teacher. With Johnson are his wife, Freddie White-Johnson, and his attorney, Sherwood Colette.
