HAYNEVILLE, AL (WSFA) -
The process of holding an orderly court hearing for Lowndes County triple homicide suspect Deandra Lee did not go off as planned Monday afternoon. A disturbance broke out in the courtroom before the hearing.
Lowndes County Sheriff's deputies escorted three people from the courtroom.
WSFA 12 News recorded video of the individuals being escorted out, each wearing handcuffs. Those people are now arrested and charged with contempt of court.
The grandmother of slain twins Taylor and Jordan Dejerinett confirmed that the three in custody were her sons, the twins' uncles. They charged at Lee when he entered the courtroom.
When the courtroom was brought back to order, the presiding judge ordered the case to go to a Grand Jury.
WSFA 12 News had a reporter in the courtroom, but cameras were not allowed inside.
