A Hopkinsville man charged in connection to a deadly crash in December 2019 that claimed the life of a Cerulean mother and her 11-year old daughter will be back in Christian Circuit Court for another pretrial conference next month.
35-year old Robert Jackson was indicted in September on two counts of reckless homicide and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment. He appeared virtually from the Christian County Jail for a pretrial conference Wednesday while his attorney Allison Mohon and Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling appeared in the courtroom before Circuit Judge Andrew Self.
Mohon argued her motion to reduce her client’s $100,000 bond and said her client needs to receive the discovery in his case and be released from jail in order to help prepare his case.

According to deputies, the impact caused the truck to come to rest in a creek bed and three people had to be extricated from the vehicle. 34-year old Marcus Quarles and a juvenile were taken by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center. Jackson, Misty Quarles and her daughter, Alexia Trump, were flown to Nashville hospitals. Misty Quarles and her daughter, Alexia, a sixth-grader at Sinking Fork Elementary School, died from their injuries in the hospital.
