Suspect is Murrah's Defensive Coordinator
Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
An ongoing cooperative investigation combatting controlled substances in the Metro Area has resulted in an arrest of one suspect. On Monday November 10th, 2025, Rankin County Deputies, Madison Police Department Investigators and Agents with the U.S. Postal Service seized approximately 13 pounds of marijuana and approximately 7 pounds of suspected methamphetamine from Robert Tyreke LANDERS in Rankin County.
An ongoing investigation revealed Robert T. LANDERS was conspiring to possess controlled substances at his residence in Rankin County. Based on facts developed during the investigation a search warrant was obtained from a Rankin County Judge. A search revealed 13 one-pound bags of suspected high-grade marijuana and approximately 7 pounds of a gray paste like substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine. All the drugs have been submitted to the state crime lab for testing. Robert T. LANDERS was placed under arrest at the address he was living at on Mt. Helm Road. LANDERS transported to the Rankin County Jail and booked on two counts of Conspiracy to Traffick a Controlled Substance. No bond has been set at this time . The Rankin County District Attorney’s Office will bring Robert T. LANDERS before Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow for an Initial Appearance. We will continue to work with and cooperate with all our law enforcement partners to reduce the availability of drugs not only in Rankin County but the Metro Area. Our continued goal is to have a safe secure community in which we can all live, raise our families and retire.
Kingfish note: When arrested, Landers said he works for JPS. The roster of football coaches at Murrah High School states a Robert Landers is an assistant coach. His actual position is Defensive Coordinator. Nice to see a (alleged) drug dealer around kids.

Thank you for posting this so that I can link to it every single time a Fondrenite tries to deflect from Jackson crime with a crack about rankin rednecks on meth. It doesn’t get any more “Jackson” than a dope dealing JPS employee!
Did he make it available to his players?
Except that he stays in rankin
Another dope dealing Rankin County resident.
If you are looking for today's winner, it is going to be hard to top 1:38.
1:38, I hate to break it to you, but Rankin County has a drug problem too. Meth and opiate fiends are a scourge on society.
It's the "__________ is lost" comments I find tiresome. They are thoughtless, add nothing to the discussion, and are just plain lazy.
Someone call Johnny Depp or Tom Berenger
You can take the man out the hood but not the hood out the man...
At first glance, I was shocked; I thought a JPS employee had been busted for math, thinking no JPS employee would know anything about that subject. But then I realized it was only meth and it made much more sense.
A patrol officer at New Orleans PD was caught smoking meth on duty in his patrol car and his punishment was desk duty. Yep, desk duty for committing a felony on duty. The bodycam video was only found by a random search pursuant to a FOIA request by the media. He ultimately resigned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5RLDl5pFvw
The goon squad would have busted him long ago.
What's at the end of the road if one turns down the gravel driveway where the goat is hanging from a tree and sees a rural face in soiled overalls with a chainsaw next to the trailer beyond? Asking for a friend lost in Rankin County, needing directions back to The Fondren.
JPS pay their employees so low that the employees have to get a 2nd job like selling drugs to get by.
"Your Honor, exhibit 1 as evidence that the defendant was high on his own supply. The scores for Murrah's losses this season:
47-0, 52-13, 42-6, 50-12, 44-0, 35-0, 45-14, 55-14, 42-0, 56-0. This proves that he wasn't actually coordinating any semblance of a defense and was most likely under the influence of a LOT of meth."
If he got busted, then he must not have been tithing to the RCSO.
C'mon folks, we all know this personal use. Reduce to a misdemeanor and I'm sure he'll promise to not have that much in his home again.
