Update:(4:15 PM): The officer is James Hollins. JJ also learned that JPD told five units to go to "car to car" radio channels when responding to the suicide on I-220.
Update (2:45 PM): Officer used a duty weapon. It is not yet known if it belonged to him or another officer.
The police officer subject of the earlier post committed suicide on I-220. A screenshot taken of the MDOT traffic cam for Industrial Drive at I-220 shows the interstate completely blocked in both directions.

Meanwhile, JPD held a press conference at 1:15 that said he was placed on administrative leave..... while his body is in a JPD cruiser on I-220.
Kingfish note: Here are some photos of Hollins from his Facebook page. His page was set up under a completely different name. Hollins also has a child with another JPD officer.

God bless the family members of all involved and bless the family members of the assholes who will cover this post with crap messages.
It appears that both the Jackson PD and sheriff's office do nothing but have sex every day all day long. What have we become?
@1:42 Tax payer checking in. Suicide isn't a f*cking joke, nut bag.
I thought officers had to turn in their badge and gun while on admin leave. Standard procedure.
There is just nothing good about any part of this situation. God help our city.
Lil Chokwe will personally see that a board is appointed to conduct a study.
May have had a second or third weapon at home. May not have gotten around to getting them to the office as required. No idea, but, he is no longer a threat. See this all the time driving around town watching PD with girls and young women hanging in the windows. Shame. Pray for all.
But his Facebook page has been deactivated since the shooting. How'd you get them?
Answer: from a source?
His FB page was deactivated this morning but still up last night.
Calling himself Kinng? Calling himself Alpha? This dude was projecting hard and compensating for something. And ultimately he turns out to be a predator targeting young teen girls for sex. Who isn't surprised?
I hate to say it but veterans that have been deployed have no business in law enforcement. Sickening that this scumbag served and wore a badge. Imagine what he’s done that hasn’t been reported.
Why did they shut down all 4 lanes of the interstate and create additional traffic issues on a holiday weekend?
Attn 5:55 Because they can !!! No other plausible reason.
And a great many veterans have no business owning and carrying firearms 5:52. Maybe when released from active duty veterans should receive thorough psychological evaluations and receive whatever treatment is necessary and banned from owning a firearm if unable to deal with stress. When someone is indoctrinated by experts for months to be a killer they may need months of untraining to return to civilization. I don't understand how so many people can't recognize that.
Did you serve Knox? Yes or No.
5:52 and 8:49, its unlikely him being a veteran of war had anything to do with his sexual habits. He was obviously a sick man but you two can’t seriously be attacking veterans on Memorial Day. There are plenty of outstanding first responders who served our country. Show some respect and stop embarrassing the rest of America!
Feds don't want to deal with PTSD and the state denies that we have a shortage of help for those with mental health issues.
Shut down all 4 lanes? Did the incident cover the 4 lanes?
Okay 10:01 let’s just say it was a coincidence. Maybe you’re right. Maybe he flew under the radar prior to serving, and taking the oath to serve and protect. If anyone embarrassed America it was the deceased. The actions of the deceased have brought about these conversations.
Hopefully the victim is getting the help that she needs.
Interesting topic here regarding police officers being former service
Small towns police officers are more weaponized now. The deputy is now usually an ex military guy on steroids.
I’ve watched this personally and it’s disturbing.
A lot of people should not have access to firearms including many with (certain) mental health issues and especially those with ongoing and/or untreated issues. The past profession(s) or experience(s) of those people, such as military training and combat experience, should not factor into their current status as currently suitable to possess firearms. In other words, being a veteran should not be a lifetime license to possess firearms regardless of current mental health status because no one who is not mentally fit to possess one should be allowed to do so. Why is there any debate or disagreement on that?
In the US, politicians decide who the military engages. Taking out your frustrations and disagreements with those choices on veterans or those currently serving is a stupid thing to do.
Don’t mix any of these actions with veterans. Nothing could be farther from the truth. A few of you seem to know a lot about their mindset. I suggest you complete your education of it by picking up a weapon and standing a post.
Veterans are the only people who have made this country great. Without them you would be speaking German or Russian right now “in a work camp no less”.
Yes 9:37. I was drafted into the Marine Corps in 1968.
7:57AM offered up:
"...you would be speaking German or Russian right now..."
Um, this is Mississippi. English is hard enough for third graders.
Obviously, he feared for his life....
7:57, Amen.
7:57 - you left out Japanese and bowing to Tojo
"Veterans are the only people who have made this country great."
Interesting troll.
Benedict Arnold, US Grant and WT Sherman were US veterans, as are John Kerry and Chelsea Manning. Also, the cop who was raping a 15-year-old girl and taking videos. LOTS of folks made and make the US great. Many are/were veterans, many were/are not, some are white, some are black, with all other skin colors represented as well. Most are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. And by the way, what about all the vets who never got within a continent of any combat?
Now that the air has been cleared and all of the veterans and law enforcement posters are pissed off can we focus on the perp?
