Filing

Jackson, MS – A Meridian man was sentenced on July 29, 2026 to 36 months in prison for threatening to unlawfully damage and destroy a building on the Choctaw Indian Reservation, announced U.S. Attorney Baxter Kruger of the Southern District of Mississippi and Gabriel Billie, Director of Choctaw Public Safety for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. According to court documents, Joshua Mark Davis, 37, of Meridian, used a phone inside the Silver Star Hotel & Casino of the Pearl River Resort on the Choctaw Indian Reservation to make a bomb threat. In May of 2022, a federal grand jury indicted Davis and on March 19, 2026, Davis entered a plea of guilty to the charge. On July 29, 2026, Davis was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release upon his release from prison. Davis was also fined $1,500. U.S. Attorney Kruger commended the work of the Choctaw Police Department of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, who investigated the case. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Kevin J. Payne, Brian K. Burns, and Special Assistant United States Attorney Kalleigh McCoy.
