Kidnapped Children Rescued

 Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement. 

On Monday, April 25, Rankin County deputies were conducting a traffic stop on Interstate 20 westbound.  As the deputies were conducting the traffic stop on the shoulder of the road, a white Infiniti sedan drove by the deputies in the lane adjacent to the shoulder at a recklessly high rate of speed.  One of the deputies broke away and attempted to stop the driver of the Infiniti.  The deputy attempted to stop the vehicle but it continued to flee at a high rate of speed.  With the assistance of Brandon Police officers, the vehicle was spiked near the downtown Brandon exit and pulled off the road into a ditch nearby.  As deputies pulled up, the suspect jumped out of the vehicle with an assault rifle and aimed it at the deputies.  Deputies returned fire before the suspect eventually turned the rifle on himself and committed suicide.  Deputies then discovered that the suspect had two children in the vehicle with him and rushed to attend to them. Both children were unharmed and immediately removed from the scene. The children were taken to the sheriff’s office and were placed in the custody of Child Protective Services.  It was later discovered that the children were listed out of Florida as missing and endangered after being taken by the suspect who was listed as armed and dangerous.  The scene was turned over to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations.

 

Sheriff Bailey thanks all law enforcement and first responders who assisted in this case.

"Assault rifle?" Really, RCSO? I'd expect that from JPD, but you're better than this. Aside from that, good work.

You assume it was an Armalite pattern sporting rifle. However, it may very well have been a pre-ban M1918A2. Who doesn't have at least one in their safe?

I was just leaving work and heading west on Lakeland Drive near Smith Wills when I was passed by a white GM sedan traveling at well over 100 mph. Several Flowood PD SUVs couple of hundred yards behind then passed me. I continued into Fondren where I met a Flowood PD SUV with the lights off. I rolled down my window and motioned to the Flowood officer to do the same. "Did he get away?", I asked, "he almost ran over me". "Yes, we were told to let him go". A JPD female officer was calmly enjoying her fried chicken in the parking lot of Fondren Fuel and never engaged. That Krispy Krunchy wing was obviously just too finger-licking good!

Perhaps fortunately for the children, the perp apparently panicked when there was absolutely no reason for him to do so. Hardly unusual to come across a traffic stop on the side of the interstate. Makes you wonder if the perp was on something to act so irrationally. And maybe it was a case of the guilty fleeing when no man pursueth. Strange case, different from the one on the Coast some time back when a child was killed in a gunfight on the side of the interstate. In that case, law enforcement was trying to stop that perp, who had already committed murder and other crimes. Just glad the children in this case were not injured, but, as someone suggested, God only knows what trauma they have suffered, and not just from the gunfight.

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.
