Just walked away.
Just stake-out his mama's house. He'll be home for supper. He's a good boy.
Not a bad day to visit his family.
In the near future as Mr. Jones is picking butter beans at the Parchman Farm, he will realize the error of his ways.
The 4th of July is Monday and probably it’s first away from home, this young man is not a threat just wanted some home cooked food. As a former Corrections Deputy I heard that Simpson County Jail has the best food, they cook from scratch plus they have a garden.
This young man will return to jail when he has had used his comp time!
Who can you trust if you can’t trust a trusty.
Oh yea and lock those car doors!
He heard his girlfriend was dating a hard working, clean cut, college student and George the thief, had been trying to stop her from ruining her life!
He just wanted to be able to celebrate the 4th just like all good patriots, right?
For God's sake....Trusty!? Way to make MS look stupid and WLBT just copied and pasted.
I know it looks bad in some people's eyes but the ones on work program are pretty easy to pick back up. As long as the public can get a net to the good for housing them by picking up some trash it usually works out. Most of them will go home anyway so you just have to drive to their house. Just make sure they are non violent and love their momma.
it's trustee for christ sake
Nope, a trusty and a trustee are two different things.
It’s been a long adventurous day for John and the person that picked him up! I wish they have a wonderful 4 of July meal and stay at the Rankin County Sheriffs Bed & Breakfast.
I'll believe that Mr. Jones was a trusty but I seriously doubt he is a trustee (or was one prior to his incarceration and escape). I'll further guess that Mr. Jones, like those posting about trustees here, could not define or even spell fiduciary.
