Ofc. Jay Steward Now at Limestone

 

On October 8th, former Tuscumbia police officer James (Jay) Steward began serving his 20 year sentence for manslaughter in the death of Terry Wayne Hinton. The sentencing was three days short of the second anniversary of the heinous crime.

As of last week, Steward is residing in the Limestone Correctional facility. Not eligible for Correctional Incentive Time, the one-time officer will officially end his sentence on October 3, 2024. He will be eligible for parole in July 2031.

While Limestone is the usual destination of former LEOs, Steward won't have an easy life inside the ADOC facility. Let's hope he remembers his victim and Mr. Hinton's family every day that he spends behind bars.
