JPD issued the following statement last night.
Jackson Police are investigating a business robbery that occurred earlier this evening. It happened just after 8:00 pm.
Officers responded to the Popeye’s located in the 5300 block of
Interstate 55 North. There, officers learned that an armed black male
wearing dark clothing and a dark colored, hooded coat entered the
business demanding money. The suspect took an undetermined
amount of cash before fleeing north on foot.
Investigators are working to review the surveillance footage. No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to call Crime
Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477). A cash reward is possible if the
information leads to an arrest.
Kingfish note: Damn. Went there three years ago. Could've been me.

Never visit the west side of I-55. The difference between the east side and west side of I-55 is amazing. Unreal.
Hardly anybody uses cash any more at these places. Debit and credit cards for a 3 piece. Not smart consumers but definitely a stupid crook. Dude should have at least got some biscuits.
'fleeing north' you say. That's odd.
Maybe Waffle House and Popeyes can meet with Jackson officials. Would be interesting if they get short shrift like Greenbrook Flowers.
Been there a few times for lunch. Just another day in Jacktown.
Just like you KF,I think I went into that location at least 5 years back. Could've been me!
He didn't get a three piece while there?
Pistol looks like a Glock. How can these misanthrope afford such weapons. I've been saving for 5 years for one. Good Grief.
Love that chicken from Popeyes........

Not likely he saved up or paid for it......probably got it on the five finger discount.
@Cousin Eddie
His was likely somebody's "Truck Gun" pilfered from the unlocked cab of brand new lifted F-350 King Ranch that was parked in an upper class Flowood neighborhood.
Also could've belonged to some high school girl's dad. I've heard stories that these guys get themselves invited into a naive girl's home and they always excuse themselves to the father's nightstand and the mother's jewelry box before helping them self to the daughter chastity.
I heard he was chicken to show his face.
Time to ban hooded sweatshirts. They are involved in more crimes than guns.
There's always two sides to a story. Hehe. 2 sides. Get it? I win!
Round up the usual suspects. As they say on Live PD, "Bravo Mike," 20-25 years of age...
I live near there. I'll have to go in later tonight and show my support for the community. It's a damn shame, I'm so grateful no one was hurt.
He was probably asked to pull forward and they will bring your money out in 5-10 minutes
Popeyes food has just gone to crap over the years. Used to have the best breakfasts, great fried livers and chicken. When they merged with Church's and sold out to an investment firm it went to hell. Couple months ago got a 3 piece chicken strip and it was a tiny sliver of chicken and almost all breading. RIP Al Copeland.
Is this location near Cowboy Maloney's?
I had no idea Popeye's had 'merged with church's'. You sure about that?
@1:18AM
Yes AFC Enterprises owned Church's, Popeye's, and Cinnabon before selling to Crescent Capital Investments, a Bahraini company that complies with Sharia Law.
Chicken Empire
Did you also know Pepsi owned Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut for a time?
For all you people blaming hoodies for crime, you are wrong!!!...if you ever work a Hospital ER shift, you will discover that "I was just minding my own business" is the most Dangerous thing you can do, because almost all patients brought in due to violence...shootings, stabbings, beatings...when asked what happened, were just "minding their own business"
