Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney
Michael Guest announced today that following a jury trial that Christopher
Orlando Hobson was sentenced to life without parole following his convictions
for felony evasion, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession
of a stolen firearm.
On February 5, 2013, an officer with
the Pearl Police Department was on routine patrol when he observed that the
driver a vehicle was not wearing a seatbelt.
The officer attempted to stop the vehicle to issue a citation but the
driver of the vehicle refused to stop.
The vehicle driven by Hobson’s was at first driving at a low rate of
speed but as traffic cleared he began to speed up. A high chase ensued.
The chase ended once Hobson turned
onto a dead end street. Hobson then
bailed out of the vehicle and begun to flee on foot. The police officer gave chase and was able to
place Hobson under arrest after a brief struggle. Law enforcement officials saw Hobson throw a
gun during the foot pursuit. Officers
returned to the area where they had observed the gun being thrown and they
recovered a black .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun. After running the serial of the gun it was
discovered that the gun had been previously reported as stolen.
Guest
stated, “Hobson is a dangerous violent criminal who has previously been
convicted of Manslaughter in Hinds County and Sale of a Controlled Substance in
United States Federal Court. Hobson knew
that he that the stolen gun he possessed would send him back to prison and that
is exactly what happened.”

Guest added, “Hopson is a drug
dealer who has previously taken the life of another individual. On the night he was arrested he was once
again endangering others by the operation of his vehicle and by possessing a
firearm. Thankfully this conviction and
sentence will put an end to his life of crime and Hobson will no longer be able
to harm others.”
Guest concluded, “The Pearl Police
Department did an outstanding job. An alert
police turned what would be a minor traffic violation into an arrest and
ultimately the conviction of a violent habitual offender. His
hard work has made our community a little safer for everyone. As always we
cannot thank law enforcement enough for all of the hard work they do on our
behalf.”
District Attorney Michael Guest was
sworn into office in January 2008 and represents the Twentieth Judicial

LOL, or should I say FOF?!!!!
Looks like they could use a little proofreading in the DA's office.
10:44 AMEN to that! No one seems to care about spelling or grammar anymore!
maybe the clods running the bold new city should take notes on how it is really done... bottom feeding career thug = habitual offender = LIFE WITH OUT PAROLE!!
Would you like for me to repeat it again a little slower for you robert schuler smith so you can keep up?
Life without parole for the charges listed is insane.
Convicted of manslaughter, followed by what seems to be a few convictions for possessing a gun, at least one of which was stolen - hell, let him live at your house, 3:23. I'm just fine with keeping him off the streets until he dies.
um, @3:23 PM what is insane is that this tard murdered another human being in a drug deal gone bad and it was pled down to manslaughter . Since then he has accrued multiple convictions for various felonies and in the end got what deserved. If you think otherwise you fall in the category of being dumb as a sack of hammers. I agree with @5:49 PM, take him home with you and I am sure that you two will live happy ever after!
