On August 9, 1989 Johnny Mowdy and Martin Scrivner each pleaded guilty in Warren County Circuit Court to six counts of aggravated assault stemming from a drive-by shooting on May 28, 1989, outside a Vicksburg nightclub. Based on the recommendation of the State, they both were sentenced to the custody of the Department of Corrections for twenty-five years for all charges. They were transported to Parchman Penitentiary promptly after sentencing. Subsequently, both filed post-conviction relief petitions in the Circuit Court of Warren County contesting the voluntariness of their pleas.
