Also in court this week, MacKenzie Brisson, who was involved in a standoff with law enforcement in December, had his case continued in Bladen County Superior Court this week. The new court date was not immediately available.

He was located in a truck parked inside the garage of the home, unharmed. The standoff lasted 6 for hours.

Brisson is charged with three felony counts of assault on Bladen County law enforcement officers.

No new court date was available for Jackson as of publication. His last court appearance was April 20, 2018, according to court documents.
