Draper sentenced to 65 years for two deaths


By Rita Howell
Twenty-three-year-old Aundricus L. Draper of Batesville was sentenced July 16 to a total of 65 years in prison for the murders of two people.

In May Draper had pleaded guilty to DUI death after a December, 2013 car crash that killed University of Akron assistant head football coach Alan Arrington.

He was out on bond on September 1, 2014 when he shot Corey Henderson near Henderson’s Patterson Street home in Batesville. The hail of bullets also struck Darius Joel Johnson, according to a Panolian report. Draper pleaded guilty to second degree murder in that case in May.
