Pearl Chase Yields Missing Juvenile

 The Pearl Police Department issued the following statement. 

On December 7, 2023, Pearl Police Department was notified about a vehicle travelling Interstate 20 west bound that was listed through NCIC as carrying missing juveniles from North Carolina. Pearl PD Special Operations officers, while working Interstate 20, spotted the vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle on Interstate 20 west bound near Airport Road, but the vehicle refused to stop, and officers initiated a vehicle pursuit.

The suspect vehicle led officers out of the city of Pearl and into the city limits of Jackson where a Pearl Police vehicle was involved in an accident on Interstate 55 at Waterworks curve. The officer was injured and was transported to UMMC Hospital by AMR. The suspect vehicle continued onto Woodrow Wilson where the driver of the vehicle lost control, struck to other vehicles and wrecked in front of Children’s Hospital. The suspect was taken into custody, and the reported missing juvenile was recovered safety. No one in the other vehicles were injured. The driver of the vehicle is being charged with Felony Fleeing and is being held in the Rankin County Juvenile Detention Center.

The other juvenile was listed as a missing person from Catawba County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina. Pearl Detectives have made contact with investigators from North Carolina, and the juveniles’ parents.

Capital Police are currently working both vehicle accidents.

Chief Dean Scott would like to thank Capital Police, and multiple agencies that assisted us in this incident. The Pearl Police officer is currently in stable condition at UMMC hospital.

Hats off for protecting us and prayers for a speedy recovery for the injured officer. Before you start with of of the BS comments about chases stop and think what would want if that was YOUR child/teenager in that car. Yes chases are dangerous but MOST of the time, the officers make the right call. On occasion, they make mistakes, but remember they are human. Don’t let a few idiots in blue (RCSO) spoil the job that the good guys are doing! Get them in jail just like the crooks!

Spelling Police said...

Yo Pearl PD, it's spelled CAPITOL Police, not CAPITAL Police.

Great job to all law enforcement involved.

For Pearl PD this was the crime of the century, thus the irresponsible driving while chasing some runaway kids.

@7:43…correction. It is “capital”police when you arrest someone and seize cash in their car or on them when they commit a crime. So, In some instances, but not this one Capital would be fitting. It’s the broke ass thugs that have no cash on them that make the Department revert back to Capitol Police. And that my friends is the bottom line.

JPD is not a real police force... they are just paperwork guys after the fact.
And then... nothing is EVER done with the paperwork.

@ 7:43 - I disagree. Capitol is defined as a building, not a department. Capital Police is a department. Capitol building is a physical building.

Furthermore: Jackson is the capital and Capital Street is a long one. The state capital is home to the State Capitol Building which is protected by the Capital Police - Unless the title of that group is Capitol Building Police.

I was on the waterworks curve when this was going on. It was scary but any responsible driver knows when there are MANY blue lights coming from behind you move over. I am not sure what happened between the 18 wheeler and the police car behind me but I am thankful nobody is critically injured and the juvenile who was missing is safe.

Leaving aside the discussion about good or bad cops and when a chase makes sense...I'm glad I'm finally seeing the value of these legit cameras. Hopefully this DID result in the rescue of a kidnapped child. Or, on the other hand, he may be a runaway...but at the time, that's irrelevant and wasn't known.

It's CAPITOL POLICE, fools said...

Some of y'all above need to contact the Capitol Police and let them know what the correct spelling is. They will have to change their website, letterhead, uniform patches, business cards, vehicles, etc.

Sometimes runaways end-up being TRAFFICKED, and that's what this sounds like. It would be nice, if we could have the situation adequately described, at some point.

after units with Pearl Police scanned a license plate and confirmed that the suspect vehicle was occupied with a “kidnapping victim.”


is this the new "tag scan for insurance" technology? the scan info is out of the wlbt story, i thought i heard that last night on the BREAKING news story!!!

so i guess the car owner didn't have insurance?????

Both Brandon PD and Rankin SO did not join in as their info was that it was just unlicensed juveniles, no kidnapping.

They made the correct decision.

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.
