Benjamin Deen was shot in the face when he asked a car full of Blacks whether he could search it.

A fifth person was arrested Wednesday in connection with the fatal shooting of two Mississippi police officers last weekend, state officials said.

Abram Wade “Pete” Franklin was charged with obstruction of justice after he was questioned by Mississippi Bureau of Investigation agents, according to a statement from the state Department of Public Safety.

MBI spokesman Warren Strain declined to say what Franklin did to merit the charge. But investigators don’t believe Franklin was present for the shooting, Strain said.

Franklin, a 29-year-old Hattiesburg resident, was jailed Wednesday night awaiting an initial appearance before a judge to assign bond. Strain said that hearing could come as early as Thursday. It was unknown whether Franklin had an attorney to contact for comment.
