Judge Issues Warning To Reckless Homicide Defendent


The judge in the Robert Jackson reckless homicide case cautioned him Wednesday concerning possible bond violations.
Judge Andrew Self told Jackson in Christian Circuit Court that he has what he believes is a less than ideal report from Davis McGregor of the Christian County Alternative Services that indicates Jackson has gone to places he isn’t supposed to go without proper approval or communication.

The charges are in connection to a fatal crash that occurred on Princeton Road about a mile north of Sinking Fork Baptist Church in 2019 two days before Christmas. The Christian County Sheriff’s deputies said Jackson crossed the center line and hit a truck driven by 32-year-old Misty Quarles of Cerulean. Her daughter, 11-year-old Alexia Trump, a sixth-grader at Sinking Fork Elementary School, died from her injuries within a day of the crash. Quarles succumbed to her injuries and died the following May after a lengthy hospital stay. Two other people in Quarles’s vehicle were injured in the crash.
Jackson will be back in court for another pretrial conference on October 5th.
