As we previously reported, in March of 2022, Hurt and 20-year-old Mitariq Green reportedly brought a stolen gun onto Appomattox County High School property and were reported by a concerned student.

Deputies say Hurt and Green had been in a 2007 Hyundai, but the driver refused to communicate and immediately drove away from the scene, leading officers on a police chase for about 20 miles. The pursuit ended in Prince Edward County.
