Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
On August 21st, 2022, at approximately 10:00 a.m. the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the Flowood Police Department that an injured male victim walked into their lobby and reported that he had been to an address located in the county to meet a female where he was assaulted, tied up and held at gunpoint.
Rankin County Deputies and Investigators responded to the Flowood Police Department where they met with the victim. The victim told deputies that on Saturday evening, August 20th he went to an address in the Reservoir area to meet a female. When he arrived at the residence the victim states he was assaulted, tied up and held at gunpoint. The victim further stated he was held against his will for approximately 3 hours. The victim stated that the suspects took his phone and other items.
The victim identified the suspects as Cortez ADAMS and Laken LOWERY. The victim further stated that Laken LOWERY’s mother, Tina LOWERY was present during the kidnapping and assault.
The victim stated that after approximately 3 hours, the suspects untied him and let him leave the residence. The victim said that he drove off in his car and that the suspects followed him in a Dodge Ram Pickup. The victim said the suspects followed him for several minutes. When the victim was confident the suspects were no longer following him, he drove to the Flowood Police Department to report the crime.
Rankin County Deputies immediately began search the area the suspects along with putting out a statewide BOLO (Be On the Lookout) for the suspects and vehicles.
On Sunday evening Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey was directly contacted by Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten. Sheriff Patten related that he and his department were familiar with Cortez ADAMS and assured Sheriff Bailey that if ADAMS was in his area the Adams County Sheriff’s Office would have the suspect in custody very soon. Less than an hour later, Sheriff Patten contacted Sheriff Bailey again and related that the Adams County Sheriff’s Office had both Cortez ADAMS and Laken Lowery in custody and also had recovered a weapon that was suspected of being used in the crime.
Rankin County Deputies traveled to the Adams County Jail and picked up both suspects and returned them to Rankin County where Cortez ADAMS and Laken Lowery were booked on the charges of Capital Kidnapping. Tina LOWERY was arrested in Rankin County and was booked on the charge of Accessory to Kidnapping.
District Attorney Bubba Bramlett will bring all three suspects before Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow for an initial appearance.
The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office is grateful for the quick response and assistance of the Flowood Police Department and the Adam’s County Sheriff’s Office.

They look nice in yellow-
Lowery women look so mafia. Made mamas?
Look like Minions!
Someone beat all of them with the ugly stick
"he went to an address in the Reservoir area to meet a female" AKA he was trying to get his goober wet
Sooooo...should we expect to see a solicitation charge, too?
I am selling quarters for 10 cents each if you believe this is all of the story.
Good to see this report. Saw report earlier from Natchez that only mentioned S.O. there making contact with the male via phone and the two accused of kidnapping gave themselves up. No mention of who the victim of kidnapping was or any other information was included in the report.
Reservoir Area, huh? Well, I smell a fish. Something is up with victim 'going to a house to meet a woman' and the 'woman's' mother being there to witness the whole thing. My money is on the 'victim' owing the woman something and she got him to come to the house to discuss, where he was tied up and threatened. Fish gets ripe after about three days on land.
IF this were a blind date type of situation, I'd probably be grateful for the beating. Just saying.
@11:22 AM is probably close to the truth.
It’s funny how quiet you racists be when white folks get arrested in Rankin County.
11:22 is probably close, or it has to do with prostitution or a drug deal. Bellgrove neighborhood and several others in 39047 are like a glorified trailerhood. It is a black eye on the area. Lots of trash(black and white) over there.
I hope Momma isn't in jail long..... I wanna Hit Dat!!! #Hottie
The Adams guy needs to remember the "mom test" when dating. Just saying.
@1:29; Actually laughing my ass off. Dealt with the mom and daughter in the past here in Canton. They were fun then.
Cortez aka “Bighead” doesn’t look like he’s got much going on between his ears.
@1:29 maybe that first photo didn't load for you?
" Look like Minions!"
That was funny.
They actually do kind of look like Minions.
Should have called police to handle situations not escalating to violence
"Saw report earlier from Natchez ...
Reservoir Area, huh? Well, I smell a fish."
Gawd yes. The stink of fish is everywhere with this case.
Most think Natchez is all about moonlight and magnolias.
It is not. There has always been a strong connection between Adams & Rankin Counties when it comes to drug trafficking.
I doubt this had anything to do with a kinky Mother/Daughter
"hook-up" with anybody at the Rez.
Kudos to Sheriff Patten and the Adams County Sheriff's Department.
These fools have been watching to many crime dramas on TV. I don’t think they watched the part where they get arrested and convicted!
Sounded like a good way to make some fast cash, at the moment! But you can’t smoke that good weed and make life changing decisions.
Prayers to the victim, he could have been castrated! It’s some sick fucks out there.
The suspects hit it off when they first met and fell in love because yellow was their favorite color. However what they didn’t know that the green and white jumpsuit is next (MDOC)!
You got to love these fools! And to the victim. Man, you are one lucky dumbass cause you could have ended up in a barrel of acid minus a penis
Capital kidnapping. This could get interesting.
Do they charge extra to tie him up or was that included?

How you figure? Your post was about number eleven.
First this and then Greyhound! Flowood is lost.
+1 to whoever said BelGrove is low rent. There was a drive by shooting reported over that way a few months ago. FML.
Were the ball gag and handcuffs booked into evidence?
Cortez has weird shoulders.
Laken, that’s a real prize winner you brung home to show Mama.
1:29 Gotta love being called racist from a racist. I don’t think anyone on this site excuses any criminals whatever color they are but that won’t meet with your hater narrative.
Crop out Tina's hair and pretend she's the dad. Just do it!
