Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement on the capture of Alex Deaton.
Suspected Murderer Alex Deaton Captured in Kansas
On Wednesday March 1st, 2017 at approximately 6:00 a.m., the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department received a call from Kiowa County Sheriff’s Department (KS) stating they initiated a pursuit with Alex Bridges DEATON in the stolen white Honda Accord from New Mexico. Deputies from Kiowa County pursued the vehicle into Pratt, KS city limits where they used stop sticks and were successful at disabling the vehicle driven by DEATON. Alex Bridges DEATON fled on foot and went to a convenience store located at 116 South Washington St in Pratt, KS.
At approx. 0750 hrs Kansas Highway Troopers attempted to stop a Black Cadillac eastbound on I-70 around milepost 191. Alex Bridges DEATON refused to stop and fled eastbound on I-70 at a high rate of speed. Kansas Troopers were able to successfully deploy stop sticks and DEATON exited the Wilson, KS exit near milepost 205. DEATON continued south towards Wilson, KS. Kansas Troopers were able to utilize a tactical vehicle intervention and end the pursuit at 0800 when the stolen vehicle crashed and caught fire.
Alex Bridges DEATON was taken into custody without incident after the crash. Along with Rankin County (MS) and Neshoba County (MS) charges, DEATON will now face charges in New Mexico and Kansas.
Alex Bridges DEATON is being held at the Ellsworth County, KS jail at this time.
Investigators from the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations are on the way to Kansas at this time to collect evidence and interview the suspect and witnesses.
District Attorney Michael Guest will be starting the extradition process.
Words cannot express my gratitude to the law enforcement officers, the public and especially the media who all worked together as a team on this case. The citizens of Rankin County and Mississippi can have some peace of mind now that this dangerous man is off the streets. We thank God for His protection of all officers during this event and we pray for comfort and peace for all victims and families involved.

Fresh meat for the boys in the pen. He's going from dating that cute nurse to being Big Leroy's bitch. He's gonna LOVE that tough guy tattoo!
Could happen to a more deserving guy.
i just hope michael guest's office can make a capitol murder case and go after a death penalty
Looking forward to a 2035 execution, not that I'll be alive.
This piece of shit is only a tough guy when he has a gun and the other person doesn't. otherwise, he is a total pus. Hoping he does something stupid that results in his immediate departure from this world along with his first class ticket to hell.
A 2035 execution is okay with me. I'm willing to pay for him to be Leroy's b!tch every day for the next 18 years!
Looks like this little "sawed off" imp is about to have some colon discomfort.
He's about to lose more than a sock when he meets Leroy & Tyrone at (lights out in cell block 3).
Maybe he will get to be cell mates with Robbie Bell's son George Bell III.
Remember,this young punk who couldn't face rejection either.
How many years has he served at taxpayer expense?
A week ago he was sleeping with this.
A week from now he'll be sleeping with this.
Hell of a trade, Al. At least you and Big Mike can compare tats while he's punking you over and over.
4:30 am
He deserves to be punished. Death penalty all the way down.
We do not sentence people to be raped.
All you homophobes confuse rape with homosexuality.
Say what you mean...you hope someone rapes him in jail.
You know who sentences people to rape? Taliban.
Now...go to church Sunday with your kids and smile....grasp that bible....hold it tight
You hypocritical sack of shit.
Good morning, 5:57. Hope you are having some roughage for breakfast.

This guy reminds me of the character John from the movie River's Edge who strangled his girlfriend by the river and screamed something like, "she was so dead and I felt so f***ing ALIVE!"
Dennis Hopper shot him as soon as he said that.
And lighten up, 5:57.
5:57, I was right there with you till you reverted to school yard name calling at the end. Try adding a little maturity to your righteousness.
Isn't it wonderful how Deaton could steal 3 cars, murder 3 people, shoot a jogger, and he is still alive to appear in court for his due process. I wonder what would have happened if he pointed a toy gun at people, or sold illegal DVD's at a gas station, or sold loose cigarettes, or walked home after buying skittles and ice tea. He lead police on a high speed chase, and he didn't even get shot. And not once have I read where everybody that looks like him are all thugs and animals!
Let me help you, 10:40.
Everybody that looks like him (combination of shaved head in attempt at disguise, forehead injury from either victims fighting back or from an accident in a high speed chase, head hung in denial that he was caught, tremendous and angry shoulder and chest tattoo, and missing sock)are all thugs and animals!
Not to negate your point. And it is amazing that he made it as far as he did. Thank God he is off the streets, and with DA Guest in charge, hopefully forever. Prayers for all of these victims and their families.
10:40 Looks like you're making the point some people are smarter criminals than others.......
Dude looks like a first class thug to me. Color is not the definitive characteristic of a thug. Cowardly attacks on unarmed and unsuspecting people is the defining characteristic of a thug, black or white.
10:40, ever since Deaton became a suspect, people posting here have been describing him in negative terms (They didn't say "thug". They used insults which were far more potent than "thug".). And people have been describing, with glee, the various bad things they see in store for him. They want to see him pimped-out for gang-rape, AND THEY WANT HIM TO DIE.
His family are fully cooperating with law enforcement. And not one of them has made a fool of herself, telling reporters what a "good boy" he is. Deaton's got a fantastic body, and a hot-looking tattoo. But nobody (until me) as said anything positive about his appearance. Instead, they've ridiculed every single thing about him (which he deserves).
Maybe you have this forum confused with another one. Or maybe you're just permanently confused. Maybe your reading comprehension, and your ability to process information, are not what they ought to be. Do you have a history of mental illness and/or substance abuse?
