June 8 gunfire during a Mississippi traffic stop left Deputy Yates Rodney paralyzed after Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs allegedly opened fire following a short chase, authorities said.
A seat belt stop turned tense when Rodney spotted marijuana in the car; deputies said the brothers fled for 2 to 3 miles before the vehicle got stuck in mud and shots were fired.
Rodney was hit in the shoulder, and doctors told him he will never walk again because the bullet nicked his lungs and spine; he had joined the agency about six months ago and recently married.
Cortavious and Cortavion were charged with attempted capital murder and hindering prosecution, while Cortavion also faces a felony fleeing charge.
The shooting came five days after their brother, 17-year-old Cordarius Hobbs, was accused of killing a 74-year-old man and his 71-year-old wife in nearby Simpson County.
