Speeder Spiked in Rankin

 Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement. 

On Monday, April 18, a deputy with the Rankin County Criminal Interdiction unit observed a silver Mercedes sedan traveling westbound on Interstate 20 at a high rate of speed.  The deputy pulled in behind the individual and confirmed he was driving well over the posted speed limit.  The deputy activated his blue lights and the individual began to pull off the road.  Just before the suspect came to a stop, he pulled back into traffic and quickly accelerated to speeds in excess of 100 mph.  Officers from Pearl Police Department were able to spike the suspect and he was finally brought to a stop on Interstate 20 near the outlet malls in Pearl. The suspect was identified as JOSE A ZERMENO from Dallas, Texas.  ZERMENO was transported to the Rankin County Jail where he is being charged with felony fleeing.  District Attorney Bubba Bramlett will bring ZERMENO in front of Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow for an initial appearance.  Sheriff Bryan Bailey would like to thank the Pearl Police Department, Brandon Police Department and the Mississippi Highway Patrol for their assistance in bringing this incident to a safe conclusion.

this westbound mercedes was payment for a previous eastbound drug shipment.
this defendant was simply delivering the payment.
law enforcement can't do a forfeiture of the vehicle on a felony fleeing.

A ploy to let the other drug runners get a safe passage.

It's called running interference. "...Watch ole Bandit run".

Since the other commenters seem to have some additional information, can you provide specifics on the drug shipment?

yep while Lil’Bit and his Keystone Kops were chasing this decoy, a half dozen mules and human traffickers sneaked past his license plate scanning SUVs.

Oh Gawd yes 5:31 !

These guys are better at running a fake option play than Grant and Sherman on the way to Vicksburg.

Mexican person speeding in Rankin county with Texas plates. What are the chances he will not be stopped?

Where in here does it say anything about drugs?

Posters here aren’t assuming based on race, are they? How unpredictable would that be!

I am certain that the Sinaloa cartel saw Smokey and the Bandit and know exactly how to dupe hillbillies.

I don't see the time of day indicated, but that seems like a busy/dangerous stretch of road to deploy spike strips.

Let me tell you about the birds & the bees.

The spike strip is thrown out in front of the vehicle they intent to stop. After said vehicle runs over it & get several hollow type nail in their tires the office pull the spike strip off the road with the attached rope.

Now, the taxpayers of the poorest state in the union will have to house JOSE for several years in jail. This is because the Feds have no control over the borders along Mexico.Entiendes ahora mi amigo

Don’t believe this happened at 8 pm since it was posted about 5 pm or shortly after when I read it. Great job PPD & all LEO’s!

Burt Reynolds never ran drugs across state borders. Stop allowing the TV to program your dome.

interesting string, I do agree, he ran for some reason, fleeing really makes u appear guilty. Confident more this. Prospering, I never had nor will have a Mercedes, wonder what model.

Kind of racist to assume he is an illegal alien, isn't it?

@7:07
Nobody said Burt Reynolds, or Jose Z ran drugs. What manner of mental gymnastics made you come to that conclusion? This arrest says absolutely NOTHING about drugs. It said he was SPEEDING and EVADING. Exactly what the Bandit did in the movie! The comments merely suspect him of running interference. You really need to get your skull checked. Maybe lay off the crown and coke.

I would struggle to distinguish you from the ethnic ruling class of Mexicans. I know Spain had all sorts of names for swarthy mystery meat like yourself.

7:40: If the shoe fits and frankly this is a classic interference for drug running situation. Of course this legal citizen could just be stupid. Connecting the dots on this one is childs play and I highly doubt he's legal.

7:38 : No. Prejudice perhaps.

If memory serves me, Ole Burt was running Coors Beer which was, at that time, not seen east of the Mississippi.

Your memory is dead wrong. Burt was running Forrest Gump’s mama and nothing more. He couldn’t fit much more than her and his machismo in that Trans-Am.

Dang KF/7:38... you're racist if you breath air - haven't you heard?

Just a typical Texas interstate driver. Interstate speed limit in Texas is 75. Left lane drivers are usually 85+. His mistake was fleeing

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.
