JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson police are investigating a string of crimes by one individual that occurred around 4:00pm today. One victim was sitting in her vehicle at Battlefield Park when she was approached by a black male on a bicycle. The suspect brandished a handgun and got inside her vehicle where she was sexually assaulted. The victim was forced to drive around a was able to escape near a gas station on Hwy 49. The same unknown suspect then entered a house in the 100 block of Williams Ave. where he attempted to force a 71 year old female to perform a sexual act. Instead, she was robbed at gun point. The suspect then forced a 13 year old female to perform a sexual act. The suspect later identified as 33 year old Avery Shontel Bankston was arrested in the 1200 block of University Blvd. while sitting in a stolen vehicle with the weapon on his lap used in all of the crimes
Kingfish note: Bankston was arrested last year for aggravated assault causing serious injury. He has not yet been indicted. The detective's affidavit states he repeatedly struck a guy in the face with a wooden object. He has prior convictions for auto burglary and house burglary.

SMH, Jackson. You wonder why your once great city has become a cesspool
Will the Mayor have a press conference about this scumbag? Or does he save his fake outrage for white homeless women who ask for rides to Jackson?
Put a tall fence around the City of Jackson and make it a penal colony. If you need an escort, call Snake Plisken.
Two questions: (1) why would anyone sit in their car in Battlefield Park;
(2) Just how bad does it have to get before.....?
Ok Jackson, if you don’t keep these people in jail the city will never reduce the criminal activity
I believe in the rule of law, so if this alleged animal sexually attacked a female family member of mine, I would hold him for law enforcement...but only after I applied a copious amount of 12-gauge bird shot to his groin area.
Not a peep from the sorry mayor!!!! Some homeless woman getting a courtesy ride is more important!!!
And why the Mississippi Tennis Association pretty much makes people play at Battlefield is beyond me. If(and the day is coming) something happens to one of those ladies forced to play there or forfeit, they should be held accountable.
If you need an escort, call Snake Plisken.
Reached for comment, Snake said: "I ain't going near that place."
Hinds zero bond/bail blessings in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Death penalty. If you disagree imagine it was your 13 year old daughter or your 71 year old mother.
This is sickening on so many levels. Why was this guy not already in jail? Hinds DA and courts need to get their act together in a hurry.
@10:17 If it were my mother or daughter, I would be judge, jury, and executioner! If he were positively identified by my loved one, he would never make it to trial. I would hope that a jury of my peers and the courts would let me off with a light sentence for my actions.
Mr Bankston has a right to a high paid attorney to represent him and defend his honor. It is extremely obvious that he was raised by parents that were abusive to him and he didn’t have the same opportunity as the kids that grow up in say Eastover. If Mr. Bankston had been given an equal opportunity when younger, he wouldn’t feel the need to rape and pillage. He is just getting what is due to him from years ago. Also, I’m certain the 71 yo and the 13 yo provoked and flirted with Mr Bankston to the point where the sexual acts were consensual. It’s obvious.
It's a damn shame that one of those two female victims didn't lob off his wanker. Animals such has him need to be either put permanently to sleep or castrated.
11:37 Problem is that you get a jury of HIS peers - not yours.
12:19 Troll
@12:19 PM - you loser. This is not a laughing matter. A Jackson THUG forced some women to give him oral and more. Maybe you need to receive a little "Deliverance" action, jerk!
Your sarcasm is not funny!
Just speculating here, but what if a good portion of the homicides in Jackson are guys like this?
" why would anyone sit in their car in Battlefield Park; "
My first thought as well.
At one time, I'd go to Kim's Chinese Foods off of 80 for to-go lunch (shrimp, oysters, guess-fish, etc), take it to Battlefield and sit in my truck to eat, then back to work. I'm not sure I'd do that today. That was twenty years ago. The place is a shit-hole within a shit-hole and ought to be bulldozed and turned into an alligator farm.
In response, The Chief advised he will ramp up the drive-by patrol in that area to three times a day.
