The police are lucky this one ended well!
That’s bad for him. Madison does not play. I’m glad to see them take the bull by the horns and keep their citizens safe.
When you hear the words “Madison” and “felony” in conjunction, that’s what is called a life-altering event.
Jacameron learned a very valuable lesson.
Do not come to Madison and speed at 3:40 in the morning.
Most people in Madison are asleep at that hour of the night. But, not our police.
These Jackistan rocket surgeons will never learn:
1. Don't break traffic laws if you are driving dirty.
2. Don't do it in Madison/Rankin Counties if you do.
They should know better. You always want to get arrested in Jackson if you want to be part of the Catch and Release program
Young men from the City of Jackson, cruising through Madison County on their way to Canton at 3:40 AM. Must've gotten lost and panicked...right?
Can Madison county send the inmate bill to Hinds for Reimbursement? That’d be nice to be paid back for housing their hoodlums.
I doubt the typical young driver from Hinds knows the inner city roads in Canton well enough to lead LEO on a high speed chase through town. Has mention been made of the car tag?
