Production note: Manually revised with AI assistance using the exact sheriff roster responses and attached photograph retained October 10, 2026, and a Mississippi Department of Health statutory guide retrieved October 11, 2026. The retained source publishes a booking date, not an independently stated arrest date; the unsupported copied arrest timestamp was removed from the exact booking, event and reference under an approved reconciliation. The booking time is reported as recorded without an independently verified time zone. The source supplies no statutory citation or charge level. The agency guide explicitly describes statutes in effect January 1, 2012; it is dated general legal context, not verification of current law or the charging section applicable to this booking. The Legislature’s linked LexisNexis code portal returned browser-scripting pages without statute text; the current official code was not independently verified. No statutory penalty or offense classification is asserted. The statutory age category and age-gap wording are attributed solely to the official charge label and do not establish case-specific elements. The incident date and circumstances, arresting agency, bond and release status were not verified. No linked court documents were found in the stored booking and person indexes or booking-case edges; court records were not searched for this article. No disposition is recorded in the stored event. A narrow public-web search did not establish independent reporting about this exact booking; aggregators and name-only matches were excluded. The retained photograph is attached to this exact booking, but its original capture date was not established. Neither the booking record nor the photograph establishes guilt.
Kendrick Nobles, 28, was booked at Kemper Jail in Kemper County, Mississippi, on October 9, 2026, according to the sheriff’s retained inmate record. The source lists the booking time as 7:10 p.m. and identifies the entry as booking 31588-1.
The record lists one charge entry: “SEXUAL BATTERY; [CHILD IS UNDER 14 YEARS OF AGE, OFFENDER IS 24 OR MORE MONTHS OLDER THAN THE CHILD].” That wording is the sheriff’s allegation label, not a finding that any statutory element has been proved.
For general legal context, the Mississippi Department of Health’s published statutory guide describes sexual battery under Mississippi Code §97-3-95 as an offense involving sexual penetration. The age category in the roster label concerns an under-14 statutory category with an age difference of at least two years. The phrase “24 or more months older” describes that age difference; it does not mean the accused must be at least 24 years old. This explanation concerns the charge wording and does not establish the circumstances of the allegation against Nobles.
A jail booking records admission to custody, not a conviction. No disposition is recorded in the stored event. Nobles is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
