Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
At 12:47pm on Thursday, October 2, 2025, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department responded to a domestic dispute at a residence on Glendale Place near the Reservoir area. The suspect was identified as Latoya Fortune.
While enroute to the location, deputies were informed that Latoya Fortune had fled the residence in a maroon Nissan Rogue SUV. After being spotted by deputies, a traffic stop was attempted but Fortune continued fleeing southbound on Lakeland Drive toward the City of Flowood.
Fortune was initially stopped after several miles on Lakeland Drive near Dogwood Festival Blvd but when deputies attempted to pull her from the vehicle she fled again.
As the pursuit re-initiated an officer with the Flowood Police Department executed a “Tactical Vehicle Intervention” (TVI) on Lakeland Drive near Howard Wilson Lane which resulted in the Nissan Rogue rolling over and coming to rest on the right median. Latoya Fortune was removed from the vehicle and detained. After being evaluated by medical personnel she was transported to the Rankin County Detention Center.
At this time Latoya Fortune has been charged with Felony Fleeing, however; additional charges are likely.
The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office would like to express its appreciation to the Flowood Police Department for their assistance with this incident.

When keeping it real goes wrong.
She kept it real.
This young lady needs help, not the first time allegedly violating a restraining order. Had a standoff in Grenada County years ago.
Thank goodness she probably had the car fully insured with paid up premiums.

First of all, this is anything but a lady. This is a woman. Also, this is a violent criminal who is completely brain dead to anyone's welfare except her own. She is beyond help as are the millions of other violent offenders in this country. This a perfect example of someone who would run into a soccer mom with 3 kids while running from the police, kill them all and blame it on somebody else.
