Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following press release:
A familiar face to Rankin County law enforcement is back in jail.

| The familiar face |
A member of the Leesburg community found an abandoned purse on the side of the roadway near the intersection of Leesburg road and JC Prestage Road. The purse was turned over to a Rankin County Constable who discovered, what appeared to be, methamphetamine inside of the purse. The purse was then brought to the Sheriff’s Office, along with it’s contents.
Narcotic investigators were able to determine the owner of the purse, LEIGH ANN JACKSON. Calls were then made to JACKSON advising where she could pick up the purse.
Investigators then staged the purse back in the same area it was recovered and hid in waiting. Eventually a 2014 blue Dodge Avenger drove past the location of the purse then returned driving past it once again. At that time, deputies attempted to stop JACKSON.
JACKSON then began to flee law enforcement at a high rate of speed. The pursuit took Rankin County law enforcement officers across Highway 43 into Madison County.
Madison County Sheriff’s deputies had already been notified of the pursuit heading into their county. They were waiting just inside of Madison County on Highway 43 for the pursuit. Once in Madison County, Madison County deputies took the lead position in the pursuit. The pursuit continued onto a small county road, Goodloe Road.
A Rankin County deputy ran off of the narrow roadway and colliding with a tree stump, taking him out of the pursuit. He suffered a scratch on his right arm and was able to return to work.
While still being pursued by Madison deputies, JACKSON lost control and wrecked at the intersection of Stump Ridge Road and Highway 51. JACKSON was taken into custody at that location and turned over to Rankin County authorities.
JACKSON was sentenced in Rankin County in December 2015 for trafficking stolen firearms. She was covered on local news and “Bonnie”, part of a “Bonnie and Clyde” duo.
The suspected methamphetamine weighed approximately 1.5 oz. JACKSON will be charged with felony Evading Law Enforcement, Conspiracy to commit a crime, and numerous misdemeanor charges. She may also be facing charges in Madison County.
Jackson will be held without bond pending her initial appearance in Rankin County court before Judge Kent McDaniel.

What was she doing out of jail less than a year after she was sentenced for trafficking stolen firearms? Looks like "Bonnie" would have still have been in jail. Rankin county has begun to favor Hinds county when it comes to law enforcement.
Hold up a minute. She was "sentenced in Rankin County in December 2015 for trafficking stolen firearms" as part of a "Bonnie and Clyde" duo, yet she's out 10 months later? That's all Rankin County had for her?
Set up on the dope. Not saying that she innocent but somebody placed the purse there in the first instance. She certainly is by no stretch new at this, thus her prior conviction(s).
I can understand when they mentioned meth. It was the reason she was out of jail so quickly. In Rankin county getting caught, manufacturing, selling, buying meth is about the same as being caught jay walking.
Uh...all you folks do understand that after being found guilty, the person becomes the responsibility of the state...so if she's out, it's not on the county.
rankin county...soft on crime
I am calling bullsh!t on you 3:45pm. Like 3:40pm said, if she is out after being sentenced in Rankin County the Mississippi Department of Corrections is the reason and not Rankin County.
We appear to have a double standard. When a person is sentenced in hinds county and is out 10 months later it's Hinds county's fault. But when the same thing happens in Rankin County, it's the Department of Corrections fault. Note to all thugs: in Rankin County, you only get off easy if you are cute young white female thug. So much for justice being blind.
So, so, so ,so, very, very sad. Really unimaginably, utterly sad. Someone should have locked this little cherub away at birth. So, so sad.
In the not so distant future we will all speak in repetitive adjectives...
3:40 and 4:26 Department of corrections fault huh? Not rankin county fault huh? Who handed down her sentence DOC or rankin county? If this was a female from HINDS COUNTY with stolen firearms charges , she would have to PLEA to at least 5 to 10 years in Rankin county. Department of corrections only houses the person convicted AFTER they've been sentenced. the question IS what sentence did Rankin county give her????
It isn't the cute young white thug that got her out early. It is the meth selling she was involved in that got her out early. Happens quite a bit in Rankin county. Male, female, young, old, cute or as ugly as hell, it doesn't matter. Meth is the reason for the early outs. Ask my neighbor. He was arrested more times than I can count. Even stole one of the deputies car the last time. As long as he is connected to meth he is out and back on the street within a few days.
This bitch ran off the road and almost hit my dog while I was splitting firewood.
Same sock puppet leaves 4-5 comments on this one.
The deputy ran off the road, hit a tree stump and sustained a scratch. Why am I thinking of Laurel and Hardy? Who's on first. Why? No, Who?
"I was just splittin' fireword, suckin' on a green weed...and her come this bitch like a bat outa hell burnin' rubber headed right FOR me!" Somethin's gotta be did about this to make me whole. I'm callin' Morgan ah Morgan ah Morgan.
Look this gal up. May 2015, she and her boyfriend were captured in Tangipahoa Parish. Listed as armed and dangerous and basically did enough to spend time in the MS correctional system. Let alone they were captured by LA. They should have been placed at Angola.... they would NOT have been released.
Maybe she made wunna them 'deals' with Epps.
This girl was a bad seed altogether. I looked her up and her photo from last year shows what a meth head looks like. More than likely she has been bad all her life and maybe even had some role models showing her how. Either way, whether Rankin S O baited her or not, she needs to go!
I was surprised last night when I saw a Rankin county sheriffs car patrolling the neighborhood with their blue lights flashing. After it went to several of the meth house I thought it was giving the meth dealers a warning. Imagine my surprise when I saw the real reason for them. They were escorting the methettes around the neighborhood trick or treating. Someone should have told them meth dealers are not the only people who have kids.
