Wanted Man Dies While Fleeing Police

 The city of Pearl issued the following statement. 

An attempted traffic stop led to a short pursuit by Pearl Police that ended with the suspect crashing his vehicle in a wooded area south of the city. The driver died from injuries sustained in the one-vehicle crash.

A Pearl officer attempted to stop a 2005 tan Lincoln Town Car at 5:24 a.m. for speeding on Pearson Rd. near the intersection of Old Whitfield Rd. The driver, Akeem Jihad Carson, 30 of Canton, did not stop and continued at a high rate of speed onto South Pearson Rd. towards Richland.

Three minutes later at 5:27 a.m., Carson lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a wooded area at the intersection of South Pearson and Monterey Rd.  Richland Firefighters responded and had to extricate Carson from the vehicle. He was transported by Pafford Ambulance to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson where he died.

Carson had active arrest warrants from the Mississippi Department of Corrections for parole violations and from Forrest County for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. 

Carson’s criminal history shows convictions for burglary and grand larceny.

Another young man with a bright future murdered by the cops while trying to go to work and provide for his wife and kids. Just terrible.

3:15, no worries. It happened in Rankin County. And if the murders in Jackson don't stir up mass gatherings, this dudes demise won't cause a ripple in the Pearl.

Where's Carlos?

I fail to see how this mans death, while unfortunate, could stir up any controversy. As I read it, he did in a car accident in a vehicle that presumably, he was driving.

By the stupid he lived. By the stupid he died.

That section of Pearl is an extension of South Jackson. You should see the cars that haul ass on I20 and get off on Pearson and turn right. The police know it too. That apartment complex is where most of the wanted hole up.

Jihad is/was his middle name... seriously? He was born just after Desert Shield and possibly Desert Storm began. Somebody ought to check up on his momma and baby daddy if they are still alive. They could be professional haters!

Was he headed to Miss College or UMC or Millsaps to register for a degree in divinity or medicine when he was hounded by the law dogs? ;-)

He didn't get the "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" memo.

At least we don't have to pay 75K/annually to incarcerate him for the next 20 years.

Headline should be, "Local hero does his part to prevent prison overcrowding"

Thankfully the police officers are safe that all that matters in this case.

Styx, Renegade, would have been a good one, also.

@8:54AM
What are you talking about? Nothing, as usual. If you think for a second that the State of Mississippi isn’t profiting off prisoners then, most likely, you’re still writing letters to the North Pole.

Nothing in this world is free.

I bet he was about to start college.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
