The Richland Police Department posted the following statement and pictures on Facebook:
On September 20, 2016 members of the Richland Police Department FLEX Unit conducted a controlled purchase of crack cocaine from a unidentified distributor from Jackson, Mississippi. Members of the FLEX Unit purchased $200.00 worth of crack cocaine from a subject later identified as Edfernando Rucker. Rucker was approached by officers with the Richland Police Department after he sold the crack cocaine. Rucker fled on foot from officers. K-9 Rico, which is a patrol and narcotic certified police K-9 with the Richland Police Department, was deployed from his officer's patrol vehicle. K-9 Rico apprehended Edfernando Rucker, a known narcotics distributor from Jackson, Mississippi, a short distance later in a wooded area off of Highway 49. A search of Rucker's vehicle revealed more narcotics and a set of digital scales. Rucker was transported to the University Medical Center for treatment of the wounds he sustained during the K-9 apprehension. Rucker was later released from UMC where he was transported to the Rankin County Jail and charged with Sale of Cocaine within 1500 feet of a Church, Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute and Resisting Arrest. Rucker has an extensive criminal history for narcotics and firearm related offenses. The Richland Police Department will continue to aggressively pursue, apprehend and subsequently convict persons using, possessing, trafficking or distributing illegal narcotics within the City Limits of Richland, Mississippi.

Bad Dude won't flee next time since Rico won't let go once he has a brutal bite. Maybe all big time dealers will sell in Richland, near a church. Rico is waiting.
Haul every drug dealer in; they are the dregs of society.
Haul in every drug user, they are weaklings who enable the drug dealers.
No users, no dealers, no Reunion dope parties.
Waste of time and resources on an unwinnable war.
I'm just filling a need to the upper cucci class. They have slick parties. Wife swapping, drug sexing, clean I mean really clean. That white stuff is pure & tight. They admire me & I'm kinda special to them. Like I'm the candy man. So, all you redneck down lookers you really can't imagine what you are missing. Like heaven man. Angels on earth.
Get down with your bad self.
Go Rico!
We need additional K-9 officers. They are honest, strong and recognize real threat and aggression. The results of their actions, right or wrong, don't typically lead to street demonstrations and the destruction of property.
That guy has an extensive criminal record? Strange....never would have guessed that.
Wonder why a person with an extensive criminal record is still on the street committing crimes.
Sorry, just read it again. He is from Jackson. Question answered.
Guy looks like a character out of a Mad Max movie.
I was a PO in the Miami area for almost 20 years. We had at least one K-9 unit on EVERY shift. You bet your sweet bippy, those dogs leave a LASTING impression! Ok, and some scars too.
I'd like to congratulate Drugs on winning the war on drugs....
