Tuesday, April 5, 2016, approximately 5:15 pm, Ridgeland PD officers responded to 110 Pine Knoll Drive in reference to an armed robbery of an individual at Bay Meadows Apartments. The victim reported that as she was leaving her apartment, two (2) armed men were waiting on her as she exited the residence. These suspects forced her back into her apartment where she was held at gunpoint for approximately 45 minutes. The suspects stole the victim's car, several electronic devices, and her purse when they left the apartment complex. Officers were able to identify the victim's vehicle and listed it as stolen through the National Crime Information Center.
Ridgeland PD received a call from Hernando Police Department shortly after 9:00 pm on this same date where we were informed the stolen vehicle was recovered by Hernando Police Department. Officers with Hernando PD encountered the vehicle on I-55 and later took the two suspects into custody. The two suspects are identified as:
Romello Wilson Samuel Henry Sutton
19 years of age 17 years of age
Memphis, TN Frayser, TN
Each of these suspects face local charges in Hernando, MS. Upon release from the charges in Hernando, Desoto County, MS, they will be extradited to Ridgeland Police Department to face charges related to this incident. Ridgeland Police Department has secured arrest warrants for both Wilson and Sutton charging them with:
Armed Robbery

Conspiracy to Commit a Crime
Arrest warrants have been sent to the Desoto County Sheriffs Department with a hold being placed on these two suspects pending their release. The reported stolen vehicle has been impounded in Hernando and investigators are working to recover the stolen merchandise.

Obviously those dummies didn't get the memo to do their crimes in Hinds County where Shuler-Smith will charge them with misdemeanor jaywalking, bake them a cake and send them on their merry way.
Coming to a Costco near you.
How did two individuals from 200 miles away know outside of which apartment in which apartment complex to wait for someone to leave, when there are plenty of similar target-rich environments in and around Memphis? Why is this? Just for shits 'n giggles? I'm sure they weren't busy with jobs or responsibilities and the like, so time was of no issue.
I'm not implying that the woman was involved at all, btw.
Keep moving north people. Only getting closer to their home base in Memphis.
First time I've heard of someone being extradited within the State.
Madison County has gone to the dogs. And Costco hasn't even arrived. Just wait....
Sorry, any compass direction away from Jackson still buys way, way less crime. It is very simple. The farther you get away from an active cesspool the less it smells. Sno-nuff.
Golly, Jacktown now tracking for 83 murders in 2016. Did we elect Kane Ditto morphing Tony Yarber?
For the life of me I just don't see car-jacking thugs popping over to Costco on their way out of Dodge, pulling out their membership card and stocking up on bulk items and looking for the treasure hunt deal item.
Nor do I see this type of person trolling over there to fill out a job application.
Messick if absolutely correct.
No one drives 200 miles to jack a car. there's more to this story.
My conspiracy theory says some group of persons is intentionally importing crime into East ridgeland, to further their agenda that the apartments are the source of all that is bad in town.
Certainly makes more sense than deciding to drive 200 miles to steal a car.
Ward 3 (Gangsta's Paradise) is south of Hernando. I guess they didn't pass geography in schools..
