Update: Caught!
Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following press release.
On Saturday February 4th, 2017, at approximately 8:30 p.m. Rankin County Interstate Interdiction Task Force Deputy Sanders conducted a traffic stop on a Silver Ford Pickup on Interstate 20 near Pelahatchie for a traffic violation. During the traffic stop the deputy suspected the vehicle was transporting drugs and/or contraband. A consensual search revealed two and one half gallons of liquid methamphetamine concealed in juice containers. The driver Felix Josue COLON-RODRIGUEZ, and passenger Rebacca Lynn WHITING were in the process of being arrested when Felix Josue COLON-RODRIGUEZ ran on foot east on Interstate 20 and into a wooded area. Deputy Sanders detained and secured Rebacca Lynn WHITING, the vehicle and the methamphetamine and radioed for backup. Numerous law enforcement officers responded to the area and searched for RODRIGUEZ but have been unable to locate him.
Rebacca Lynn WHITING was placed under arrest for trafficking of methamphetamine and was transported to the Rankin County Jail. District Attorney Michael Guest will bring her before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel for an initial appearance. No Bond has been set at this time.
The search for Felix Josue COLON-RODRIGUEZ continues and additional marked and unmarked deputies are in the area searching for him. We are asking the public to please call the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office 601-825-1480 or 911 if they spot him. He was last seen running from the scene wearing gray sweatpants, gray t-shirt and tennis shoes. RODRIGUEZ is a 27 year old male, 5’7” tall and weighs approximately 160lbs. He has brown eyes, black hair and medium complexion. He also has tattoos on the left arm, right hand and left hand. He also has no violent crimes on his criminal history and was not armed. The street value of the methamphetamine is approximately $300,000.00.

Those red heads will get you in trouble every time !!
I don't understand. A white girl with pink hair and a Mexican boy in a pickup headed east on 20. What could be suspicious about that?
Danged if those Hispanics don't ALWAYS make a " traffic violation" as soon as they get to Rankin Co. They must save them up.
That's 3 miles of curve less interstate geographically named by myself as "The Straights of Pelahatchie". Apparently a tough place for drug runners.
You never see the volume of drug busts on I-55 North in Madison County as you see on I-20 in Rankin County. I guess no one doing drugs in Memphis.I'm fix'in to take a thick steak to the drug dog for his enjoyment. Oh, the white chick loves the drugs not the dud.
A Mexican stopped near Pelahatchie. Shocker.
Plate readers.
And no mention of the cash haul. Again, smart.
Again.... Drugs are seized going east. Cash is seized going west, after the drugs are sold. Nice try.
they got nice cameras on I-20
5:29, do you actually believe the best way to move cash is in a vehicle driving down the road? You cannot be that dumb.
BUILD A WALL
I'm in favor of Rankin County LE (or any other county for that matter) keeping drugs off the street. I'm just wondering how it is that RCSO seems to make a bust of this sort every 24-48hrs yet you seldom hear about busts in other areas of a similar nature. IF the RCSO activities ARE legal, then why can't they share their methods with other departments so they can be as effective. Is there a way to look into how many "traffic violation stops" are made on a daily basis by RCSO on I-20? I'd be interested to know how many Mexican guys you have to pull over on average before you make a six figure drug bust.
Sometimes it's better not to publicize the arrest and/or seizure in order to work a bigger case. The people transporting the money and drugs are small fish...
Rankin has a task force. Pearl, Rankin SO, and other law enforcement agencies are participating.
Some of the people in Rankin country wish the task force would arrest a few of the local meth producers before spending all day setting out on the interstate.
12:28; How has it affected you so far?
4:29, waking up to the smell of meth cooking isn't that enjoyable. Running the meth heads off when they are stealing mine and the neighbors belongings. High speed chases through the neighborhood when someone tries to stop them. Fences being broken down so the meth heads can run through the neighborhood. Strange people driving through the neighborhood looking for the meth dealers.
These are just some of the things we have to put up with while all of the deputies are setting along the interstate. Guess it doesn't help that a person in the sheriff's dept. lets the local meth heads know when the law is coming to their neighborhood.
is so easy how u can sit there and judge people but u can't even tell the difference in raices yeah shes a white girl but hes not mexican hes 100% Puertorican................
A Puerto Rican driving a truck with a Texas tag? Right. But, wait...are you suggesting he should be let go?
And if 10:04 lives in a neighborhood where all he describes is going on, he really needs to talk to a real estate agent about relocation.
12:28 - I didn't ask you to recite everything you had ever heard about meth-heads. I asked how it has affected YOU so far. Thanks.
11:09, you must be a meth head. I did list a few things that affected me. I had to run 5 meth heads from my neighbors house. They knocked his door in and were loading up his furniture. 3 ran, 1 tried to sneak up behind me, and one tried to attack me. They got a surprise.
A little while back a couple of troopers chased a car full of meth heads through our neighborhood. Even though they were right behind the car they failed to notice the one get out of the car carrying a bag. He jumped a few fences and got away with the dope.
According to the local meth heads their friend who works in the sheriff's dept lets them know when a patrol is going to be driving through the neighborhood.
The people in Rankin country may not have any protection but the people living in the states east of us sure do.
1:06 - Who do you really think will believe that crap? But, to recap, the Highway Patrol (you said troopers) was chasing a car load of meth heads and unbeknownst to the troopers (but known to YOU) one of the chasees jumped out of the car and hoped a fence with a bag of dope and got away.
But, wait....there's more. You're such a stellar citizen and neighborhood watch advocate that you ran four people out of the neighbor's yard and, although they 'got away', you know they were 'meth heads'. I see.
Man! You really need more dead-bolts on the door of your double-wide. Region 8 is your contact.
