Rankin-Madison District Attorney John Bramlett issued the following statement.
Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney John K. Bramlett, Jr., announced today that 51-year-old Dion Lamont Summers, of Wisconsin, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the armed robbery of a gas station in Rankin County. Five years of his sentence have been suspended.
On November 13, 2017, the Richland Police Department was dispatched after a customer witnessed the armed robbery of a gas station. He provided dispatch with a description of the assailant, the clothes he was wearing and a description of the vehicle he was driving.
In route to the gas station, officers observed the vehicle that was described and turned on their lights and sirens for Summers to pullover. However, he accelerated to speeds close to 100 miles per hour and a chase ensued. Other Rankin County law enforcement officials were notified as Summers was crossing into other towns and cities. Summers lost control of the vehicle which then struck a curb, a red light pole, then another curb and a street light pole before coming to a rest in a ditch.
Officers approached the vehicle, with their service weapons in hand, and ordered Summers to exit the vehicle. Summers declined to do so forcing officers to assist him out of the car. While exiting the car Summers began fighting with law enforcement. He bit one officer on his hand and attempted to bite others before officers were able to safely handcuff him.
Summers admitted to the robbery, the gun used during the robbery was found in the car he was driving and the clothes he was wearing matched the description the witness provided. Officers also found money in the car.
District Attorney John K. Bramlett, Jr. stated, “Summers is a very dangerous criminal who ran from law enforcement officers at high speeds, injured one of our officers and robbed a gas station clerk at gunpoint. He deserves every minute of his sentence in prison.”
Bramlett added, “Summers’ arrest is an outstanding example of how law enforcement place themselves in harm’s way daily to protect and serve. The Richland Police Department did an exceptional job and their efforts do not go unnoticed by this office. We are thankful for their commitment to our citizens.”
Kingfish note: Summers will probably qualify for 50% treatment.

"District Attorney John K.

It's a blessing, but not for the perp.
Yo Hinds County jackwagons, you may want to save this article to see how justice is supposed to be served!
That's over $600k (not including inflation and cost increases) that we taxpayers are stuck with to keep his worthless ass locked up for 20 years. Put em in tents and feed them MREs. If it's ok to require troops to live like that, why should criminals e treated any better?
Why are they robbing in madison and rankin counties? Have the hinds county stations run out of money yet?
[People flee to the burbs]
[Businesses in Jackson close in droves]
[Businesses open in the burbs]
[Businesses in the burbs now get robbed]
You idiots: "WHAT IN TARNATION I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE UP HERE"

It didn't take tou long to blame Jackon's crime on White Flight.
Well guess what, this scumbag wasnt from Jackson.
Btw if you hand heard, victim shaming is frown upon.
Predators hunt where the picking off is easiest. High speed chases get lots of attention as they are so dangerous to us, the regular folks on the road. Agree from reading JJ there is a disparity in bonds and sentencing with Hinds and Rankin County, but he would be a criminal regardless of county lines on a map. Thankful the the store employee and others were not killed or maimed.
Good job on getting him out the vehicle, methinks with the rush of a chase would be tempting to pull the trigger.
