JPD issued the following statement and mug shot.
On Sunday, February 5, 2017, at approx. 2:25 PM, Jackson Police Officers responded to the 5500 block of Grafton St. regarding an armed carjacking. Upon officers’ arrival, they made contact with a female victim that stated she had just been carjacked by an unknown armed black male suspect at a residence. It was learned that the suspect, armed with a handgun, was the passenger in an unknown tan colored vehicle being driven by an unidentified black male. The
armed suspect exited the tan vehicle, took the victim’s white 2008 Chevy Equinox and fled the scene. The driver of the tan vehicle proceeded behind the victim’s vehicle. There were no injuries reported.
At approx. 2:35 PM, a Precinct 4 officer observed a vehicle matching the description of the carjacked vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed south bound on I-55 near Fortification St. The officer confirmed this was the reported carjacked vehicle. The officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop with blue lights and siren on I-55. The driver of the vehicle refused to stop and continued to travel. The driver attempted to elude responding officers that were pursuing it. The
vehicle continued towards Terry Rd. and I-20 E. Frontage Rd. where it struck an oncoming vehicle being operated by a male subject not affiliated with this incident. Both vehicles were heavily damaged. There were no injuries reported.
The driver of the carjacked vehicle was detained and identified as, Reginald Michael Henderson-23 years old. It was also learned that he was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of this incident. A criminal history request confirmed that he is currently on house arrest and probation after being released on a 2013 auto theft conviction. He was later identified as the suspect responsible for the carjacking, arrested and charged with convicted felon in possession of a
firearm and armed carjacking. A handgun believed to be used in this incident was also recovered in the vehicle. The accomplice in the tan vehicle was identified as a black male, “J” or “Jay.”
This investigation is ongoing. Henderson also faces felony eluding charges as well.
Kingfish note: Henderson was paroled on December 19, 2016. He was convicted of 11 counts of non-residential burglary, 1 count of burglary of vehicle, and 1 count of vehicle theft. He received five years probation each for the burglaries and seven year prison sentences for each count but they were to be served concurrently. He was sentence on November 25, 2013.

If they give that little bastard a $5000 bond, then it's going to be high time to seriouslt elect some new people to city hall.
Shouldn't this ankle bracelet have signaled long before the arrest?
So Kingfish who let this guy out? I know it was either Green or Pickett.
We all need to support Chief Lee Vance with our comments and prayers.
This gentleman has an impossible job, given the system with which he has to work. I would not want his job for all the money in the world.
Please keep up the good work Chief.
Lee Vance doesn't do anything, the officers and detectives are the ones who need support.
11:24 Unfortunately, the officers and detectives on the street are likely operating around 50%. Police departments (often) reflect the expectations of their communities. Those who attempt to do otherwise are treated like Ferguson, MO.
Why isn't Kenny crying cause jpd pursued an alleged criminal and the case ended in a head on collision with an innocent civilian?
