On August 30, 2023, the Pearl Police Department conducted an undercover narcotics investigation into illegal narcotics activity in Pearl. Through this investigation, Dennis was observed selling approximately fourteen (14) grams of methamphetamine. This drug sale occurred at the Southern Garden Estates in Pearl, which is located between the Pearl Upper Elementary School and the Pearl Lower Elementary School. Dennis’ home was within 1500 feet of the Pearl Upper Elementary School.Dennis’ trial was set for August 4, 2025, at the Rankin County Circuit Courthouse in Brandon. Dennis did not appear for his trial. The trial was conducted despite his absence. A Rankin County Jury convicted Dennis for the sale of methamphetamine in an amount of more than ten (10) grams but less than thirty (30) grams within 1500 feet of Pearl Upper Elementary School. The judge sentenced Dennis to sixty years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
A bench warrant was also issued for the arrest of Dennis for his failure to appear at trial. Dennis is described as a 58-year-old who weighs about 200lbs and is around 5’9” tall. Dennis was last seen on a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
District Attorney Bramlett said, “Kyle Wayne Dennis is a convicted murderer and now a convicted drug dealer who chose to sell methamphetamine near a school, just steps from where our children learn and play. His decision to flee rather than face justice shows exactly the kind of danger he poses to our community. Law enforcement will not stop until he is found, arrested, and brought to serve the sixty-year sentence handed down by the people of Rankin County.” If you know Dennis’ whereabouts, please contact Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477). Anyone with information that leads to an arrest could be eligible for up to a $2,500 reward.

Why was a convicted murderer who was charged with a felony like selling meth allowed bond? Seems like a danger to the community.
He's up at Sturgis, Colorado at the gathering.
Sturgis, South Dakota
Perhaps you mean Sturgis, South Dakota?

Sturgis is not in Colorado. It is South Dakota.
Are you referring to Sturgis Street in Colorado Springs, or Stugis, South Dakota, or Sturgis MS?
