Rankin-Madison District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement.
Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Bubba Bramlett announced that Deshayne Harmon Collier (also known as Deshaye Herman Collier and Deshaye Guyton), a 49-year-old convicted felon from Jackson, was sentenced to ten (10) years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections for Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Collier was sentenced as a habitual offender, making him ineligible for parole, probation, or early release. The charges stem from a May 12, 2024, incident in Pearl, where officers with the Pearl Police Department responded to a 911 call regarding a man who was heavily intoxicated inside the Circle K gas station on South Pearson Road. Upon arrival in the area, officers observed the 6-foot-8-inch Collier walking erratically in and out of traffic, yelling, and exhibiting signs of extreme intoxication.
When officers made contact with Collier, they immediately detected the odor of alcohol on his breath. A pat- down search revealed that Collier was carrying a Glock 9mm handgun in his waistband. Collier was taken into custody for Public Intoxication and booked into the Pearl Police Department, where he resisted officers during booking and had to be physically restrained. He was later charged with Resisting Arrest. After Collier was in custody, Officers learned that Collier had multiple prior felony convictions, including two separate convictions for Aggravated Assault in 2006 and 2015 in Hinds County.

A Rankin County Grand Jury indicted Collier on January 23, 2025, for Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted
Felon as a Habitual Offender. He entered a guilty plea in the Rankin County Circuit Court on July 15, 2025, and
was sentenced to the maximum sentence of ten (10) years without eligibility for parole.
“This defendant is a repeat violent criminal who has no regard for the law, no respect for authority, and no
concern for the safety of those around him,” said District Attorney Bubba Bramlett. “He was armed,
intoxicated, and combative. It is only because of the swift action of law enforcement that this did not end in
tragedy. My office will continue to pursue long prison sentences for offenders like Collier who endanger the
public and persist in their criminal behavior.”

He didn't get the memo to not conduct himself like this in Rankin County where blessings don't exist.
6'-8" of wasted potential. That height was a gift thrown back in God's face.
Thought that too. Person who went to high school with him said the coaches didn't waste time on him because he was always in trouble. Didn't even go past junior high.
I bet that hair has every bacteria known to man in it.
I would kill to be that tall. I would have gone to the NBA for sure!
He will get a long stay behind bars. Such a waste of a life.
To the Hinds County Judges while in court inform your criminal defendants if they are going to continue their criminal behaviors stay within the Hinds County Jurisdiction/Boundaries.
Other Counties will not tolerate this behavior and it’s not normal what the Judges and criminal defendants are doing in Hinds County.
It’s time out Hinds County Judges, STOP babying these criminals! This Shigity is going to get people killed and may hit close to home very soon.
Please Stop!
Brothers, you got to work hard in sports. This puke is too smart to work that hard.
Great job to officers and DA.
So sad all Court system can do is convict & throw away the key. Mississippi doesn’t have $$$ to keep sending these folks to jail for long periods of time. Gotta be a better way!
You are so right. A 'better way' there is. Put these people in group sessions at the Hilton and after 90 days of rehabilitation, defund the police and put these people on the streets as roadside counselors.
