Update: District Attorney Jody Owens filed a motion today to revoke Elam's bond for house burglary. His attorney filed a motion on May 24 to lower his bond and remove the ankle bracelet. Got to love dumb clients.
The city of Clinton issued the following statement.
Clinton Police have arrested two individuals connected to an attempted armed robbery on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 in Clinton. Tuesday evening around 9 P.M., Clinton Police received a report of an attempted armed robbery and carjacking on Edgewood Place in Clinton as the victim returned from the grocery store.
The suspect approached the victim on foot while brandishing a gun. He demanded her keys and purse. The alert resident began tossing her groceries at the individual. As the scuffle ensued, the resident’s dog exited the vehicle
to protect the resident. After being bitten by the dog, the suspect fled on foot to the suspects red Dodge Charger.
Clinton Police were contacted immediately by the resident. Patrol units were in the neighborhood and within seconds identified the suspect vehicle and detained the individuals inside.
“I am grateful for the alert actions of this resident to protect her person and property and the mindfulness to quickly contact Clinton Police. This is a perfect example of residents and police working quickly to protect our city and catch criminals,” stated Mayor Phil Fisher.
Two male suspects were arrested. During the investigation, it has been determined that the driver of the suspect vehicle was wearing an ankle monitor while out on bond awaiting pre-trial sentencing on felony charges in another jurisdiction for armed robbery.
Clinton Police have charged JACOREY DEVONTA DILLARD, 19, of Jackson, MS as the suspect who brandished the weapon.
Dillard was arrested and charged with armed robbery and armed carjacking. He is currently in custody of the Hinds County Detention Center on $250,000 bond.
Clinton Police have charged QUANDARIUS ALONZO ELAM, 18, of Jackson, MS as the driver of the suspect vehicle.
Elam has been charged with armed robbery and armed carjacking. He is currently in custody of the Hinds County Detention Center on $250,000 bond. Elam was under court ordered ankle monitoring while awaiting sentencing on house burglary charges stemming from another jurisdiction in Hinds County.
“What is wrong with the monitoring system? Who is responsible for monitoring the criminals that are under supervision? Someone must be held accountable to prevent further residents of Clinton and the metro area from being victimized by criminals,” stated Mayor Phil Fisher.

Don't believe the monitors are watched 24/7. Picked up at later time/dates. at least what I've heard from MDOC folks.
Dog deserves extra treats.
Gee, I wonder what "other jurisdiction in Hinds county" let this moronic thug out on bail for a previous armed robbery?
where have we seen those names before?
criminals from another jurisdiction out on bond? doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which one...

RED dodge charger.
What is “pre trial sentencing”? Don’t you have a trial first, then if found guilty, you get sentenced?
Don't mess with Clinton!! And the dog should get tetanus shots.
The Dog should be free steak for life ! ! ! !
This is why electronic monitoring is good for offenders out on bond. No its doesnt show a person is committing a robbery. But it does show they were physically present when the robbery occurred. Thus the DA's prosecution is much easier because the a friend cant say he didnt do the robbery he was with me.
Judges in HC are sending detainees to monitoring companies owned by the judges’ relatives. Each judge has a favored monitor. Meanwhile, no monitoring is actually happening.
Proud to see CPD carrying on the tradition of taking care of business. Folks in Jackson wonder what has caused the “uptick” in killings. Lamumbalot has neutered JPD.
Hast du Schaferhund?
Get the dog protected with penicillin shots.
That's cool and all but was it a Pit Bull ? Clinton has laws against pits. This criminal will sue.
Clinton has laws against pits.
Clinton should pass a new law requiring all residents to own at least one pit. The thug incursion would drop waaaaayyy down.
Doggie style in Clinton.
Love it !
“ Clinton should pass a new law requiring all residents to own at least one pit. The thug incursion would drop waaaaayyy down.”
I do a lot of work in all parts of Jackson. There’s an extremely high number of “pits” and pit mixes, with the highest concentrations of these dogs in areas with the highest crime. If the dogs are making a significant difference, I’d hate to see what it would be like without them. Snakes, on the other hand, just might be the ticket. I was driving through a South Jackson neighborhood a few years back when I saw a pretty decent gray rat snake crossing the road. I swerved around it, put the car in park, and walked back there to get it, leaving my car running with the door open. As soon as I picked it up, I heard some kids say they wanted to see it, so I sat there holding the snake in the middle of the road, and literally within 30 seconds I was surrounded by about 15 people. That number kept growing exponentially all while I was craning my neck to see my car through the crowd. They were asking a lot of questions, and I was happy to answer them, but was getting real nervous about my car. So I just started walking towards my car with the snake out in front of me. I felt like Moses parting the sea. When I got back to my car I kept answering questions until it was time to leave. I had my glock on my hip, but at that moment realized a 4’ snake just might be the safest defense.
@2:31 You are absolutely correct this electronic stuff is great for offenders. Now the DA can prosecute them for this latest robbery. Right after he sets up a bond hearing to tell them when to come back for the first robbery.
I hope Gunn does whip Tater Trump! Tate is doofus! I remember when he just a bank teller!
The Hinds County judges that let these feral animals out on bond should be thrown in the pokey for Reckless Endangerment.
"I am grateful for the alert actions of this plebian to protect her person and property and the mindfulness to quickly contact Clinton Police."
Obviously using the same media-contact departmental-comment-writer used by City of Jackson. The wording gives it away.
