Rez standoff ends in arrest.

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.


Reservoir Police and Rankin County Sheriff’s Department have five hour standoff with armed man

Friday night, just before midnight, the Sheriff’s Department received a call from Reservoir Police requesting assistance with an armed subject, Gentry Heath PRESTWOOD, in the Timberlake Campground. Reservoir Police advised they had officers on scene and PRESTWOOD was walking around discharging a handgun while going in and out of a camper.

When outside, PRESTWOOD would have one or two handguns held to his head threatening to shoot himself if officers did not provide him with a phone so he may contact his estranged wife. PRESTWOOD would randomly fire shots into the air, but never aimed his weapon at officers.

Deputies began evacuated campers from the immediate area due to PRESTWOOD’S reckless, repeated discharge of a weapon.

PRESTWOOD would walk back inside, out of officer’s view, and discharge the weapon inside the camper. While outside, he would sit on the camper steps drinking alcohol, while making demands.

Shortly after midnight, the Rankin County Special Response Team (SRT) was activated and responded to the scene with the Sheriff’s Department MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle. The MRAP was used as an elevated platform and for safe cover for SRT members while driven directly in front of the camper door.
Just prior to the SRT arrival, PRESTWOOD retreated inside the residence. Sheriff’s negotiators attempted to establish communication with PRESTWOOD, but were unsuccessful.

After waiting more than an hour and a half without contact with PRESTWOOD, Sheriff’s Department robots were deployed inside the residence. Operators were able to locate PRESTWOOD unresponsive on the camper floor.
A SRT entry team then entered the camper and took PRESTWOOD into custody. Reservoir Fire and Pafford were staged in the campground from the beginning of the standoff and were able to provide quick medical attention to PRESTWOOD. PRESTWOOD was found to be unharmed but was extremely intoxicated and possible under the influence of prescription medication.

PRESTWOOD was transported via Pafford to UMMC for medical evaluation. Upon discharge, PRESTWOOD was transported to the Rankin County Jail. He is currently being charged with shooting into a dwelling and shooting into a motor vehicle, along with numerous misdemeanor charges.

PRESTWOOD is being held without bond pending his initial appearance before County Court Kent McDaniel.
There may be additional felony counts added after investigators are able to check surrounding campsites during daylight hours.

Thanks to Reservoir Police, Reservoir Fire, Pafford Ambulance, Madison Police, Richland Police, and the fine men and woman of the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, this encounter was able to end without any loss of life. I would also like to thank the citizens of Rankin County for their continued support of this department. It is with your support that we have been able to equip and train your Sheriff’s Department to resolve situations such as this without any loss of life.

I love coming here for my daily bad news fix.

I'm having trouble is a black man walking around with a handgun, firing wildly, and not being shot to death within the first ten minutes by the police. This dude gets five hours to hang around, fire off his gun, and drink liquor until he passes out.

Guess who won't be standing for the anthem tomorrow...

The guy is love sick....

Only motor homes valued above $216,000 should be allowed into this campground. This guy is a 'trailer court' reject. You could tell by his $20 Weber portable grill that he is low class (Perry Waggener confiscated the grill and two hot dogs). If the cops had given him a cellphone and a ride to Waffle House, this would have ended sooner.

Pitt panther is obviously a slow learner... more whites are killed by police in this country each year than blacks. Your just a sh!t stirrer or very misguided. You won't stand for the anthem? I'd love to send you to Cuba or Mexico south America where blacks are really treated terribly and Cuba has more blacks in prison per population than any other nation on planer. Yet kapernick praises the race hating murderer Castro

. I hate it when a white guy ties up resources for hours while the cops are waiting for him to pass out. If this had been a black guy it would be over in a Mississippi minute. One shot from him in the air and the Calvary would open fire!!!

OK....serious question about the robots. Do these R2D2 units roll up to the camper, climb the stairs and open the door to roll inside? Or do the law enforcement folks ease up to the camper, open the door and throw the robots in like a couple of fat, weiner dogs?

How zat work?

White guilt much?

Anonymous said...

12:48 PM it’s not white guilt it’s called the truth. Do you think the situation would have been handled the same if the person in question had been black?

Pittpanther is such a sicking racist. Go back to posting in your hooker and escort forums and leave we decent people alone.

12:48. The robot has a extendable arm that can manipulate door handles. And for all you idiots saying a black man would have been shot immediately.....The last two officer involved fatal shooting in old redneck Rankin involved white males. Take your BLM blather elsewhere. Continually repeating a lie still does not make it true.

That very well might be true since the law passed allowing folks in church to carry firearms.

335 whites shot and killed by police in 2017.
168 blacks shot and killed by police in 2017.
Pitt Panter you hate the facts in sure... you prefer your opinion rather than the actual facts in sure. America has ended slavery unlike a majority of the world today. What country do you prefer for yourself to live rather than here in the U.S.? Tell me what would be the ideal country.

Does he work for D Noblin in Pearl? He looks familiar.

just had a bad day!

you could be right PP - Rankin County will not have the problem that Jackson does because we get rid of as many possible thugs as we can. This guy was just a drunk and the Sheriff handled it just as he should. Not too many blacks stay in the campground because there is not enough drugs to suit them. The blacks that stay in the campground are very good people unlike the thugs on the streets that need shooting.

My eyes must be playing tricks on me when I see the Rankin kids coming to Jackson to buy drugs.

Jackson has Hooker and Escort forums? Does Pitt Panther use that same screen name? Is he as delusional about nookie-for-hire, as he is about everything else? This should be interesting.

Can you give us some of Pitt Panther's greatest quotes from escort sites?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
