GLUCKSTADT, Miss.–Jordan Leah Sullivan, of Louisville, has pleaded guilty to the charge of aggravated DUI in Madison County, in the wreck that killed Canton teacher Tyra Small-Jackson.
Sullivan, 33, faces a possible 25-year prison term when she’s sentenced Feb. 10.
Sullivan was driving drunk when she hit Small-Jackson’s car head-on while driving the wrong way on I-55 near Gluckstadt, June 24, 2024.
Prosecutors believed they had Sullivan dead to rights, finding text messages where she admitted to drinking and driving. Officers submitted her blood alcohol level of .241 as evidence and a receipt from a liquor store where Sullivan bought 20 airplane-sized bottles of Fireball, several of which were found in her car.
Small-Jackson’s father and baby were in the car with her. They were not hurt.
