Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
Rankin County Sheriff’s Deputies along with Reservoir and Madison Police arrested two Hispanic males in connection with an armed robbery at the Dollar General located at 1905 Spillway Road.
The Dollar General Manager contacted the Sheriff’s Department at approximately 12:45 PM. He reported to African-American or Hispanic males entering the store around 12:30 PM. The second male entered the store wearing some type of hunting mask and was told by employees he could not enter with the mask on.
The first male had already entered the store and circled behind a cashier. He can be seen on video grabbing the cashier and placing a knife to his throat. He then demanded all of the money from the cash register. Once the money was taken, the two fled on foot to the east of the store.
A witness near the store was at the street checking her mail. Her attention was drawn toward the two males as they came running by, because one had a mask covering his face and one was running with a knife in his hand.
Within minutes, a second witness spots, what he described as a Hispanic male running out of the woods as if he was being chased by someone or something. Deputies converged on his location and were able to locate an adult Hispanic male lying in the woods wearing a T-Shirt, black underwear, and socks. After a brief search of the area, deputies located clothing matching the description given to deputies.
A third witness was able to provide Deputies with an address they believed the suspects had come from. Deputies were at the front preparing to make contact with the homeowner when they were advised Rankin K9, Splinter, had tracked to the rear of the same residence.
The rear door to the residence was standing open and deputies were unable to make contact with anyone inside. A cursory search of the residence was performed to ensure the second robber was not hiding inside.
A search warrant was then obtained for the residence based on witness statements and the performance of the k9. Upon executing the search warrant, investigators recovered a camouflaged mask and a fixed blade kitchen knife just inside the back door.
While searching the residence, a truck pulled up with three undocumented immigrants. All three were violating county ordinances and possessed open containers. One had active warrants with Pearl Police. They were all arrested and will have a hold placed on them for ICE to determine if they will be deported.
While finishing the search of the residence, a fourth witness contacted the Sheriff’s department to report a suspicious acting Hispanic male walking on the walking trail near Spillway Road. Deputies were able to locate and take that individual into custody within minutes.
This case was solved from the initial report to the apprehension of the last suspect in less than six hours. This is possible not just because of our outstanding law enforcement and dispatchers, but also because we have concerned Rankin County Citizens willing to help law enforcement. Each one who saw something they thought was suspicious took the initiative to place a call to the authorities.

Rankin County doesn’t play!
Expert criminals
It seems to have been taken down, but for two years there was a web page that showed mugs and descriptions of all arrested and booked in the area. Hundreds of Hispanics and those who were assisting them in violating immigration laws.
Next we move on to the illegal who had worked in the Ridgeland restaurant for almost three years. He follows a little girl to the bathroom, gets her address and later rapes her. He's been convicted and sentenced earlier this year.
Now we move on to all the illegals living at the Canton trailer park next door to the chicken-kill plant. And the many illegals being arrested all over the Metro.
This Mexi-Creep is surging and will soon put us in a strangle hold.
Now let's hear from the 'brotherly love' crowd, the Catholic Charities whiners and the rest who are still blind and believe these 'sweet, gentle people just want to work quietly and raise a family'. 3..2..1..
And this my friends is part of what makes Rankin county a great place to live. Now these thugs will be treated like the criminals that they are and prosecuted. Great job Rankin S.O.
Law enforcement should be commended for wrapping this up in such a hurry, but I have to take issue with how the report refers to the people arrested - undocumented immigrants, really? Immigrants have documents! Those who sneak into our country are criminals and illegal aliens. In fact, these folks must commit at least five federal crimes in order to get into the United States, secure a place to live and obtain work. Back in the day, if you called INS and told them you had three illegals in custody who were connected with an armed robbery, they would send an agent, the illegals would be locked up and taken before a magistrate and immediately removed from the country.
But now we have activist judges whose decisions have created legal precedent which creates preference for the non-citizen. My question to them is: Which laws do I get to ignore with impunity?
keep fooling yourself....it would be a great place to live if there wasn't such crimes committed in the first place. And less Dollar Generals too.
They were apprehended quickly. Next they will be prosecuted and given serious prison sentences. I love living in Rankin County!
@6:54 AM - do you post this same comment on every single story involving Hispanic people? GET A LIFE!
To 6:54:
Some Mexicans are bad, therefore they all must be bad! Logic! Reason! This is the exact stupidity that gets a moron like Trump elected. We'll be watering the plants with Brawndo in no time.
Great job Sheriff Bailey!!!
Do us all a favor, and go teach Victor Mason and JPD how to do this kind of thing.
They need some leadership very badly
Well, it took longer than we thought it would for 8:09 to chime in. And he wasn't satisfied enough with that post so he had to post again two minutes later.
Get a life? That's rather the point isn't it. Those of us who do have a life, cherish our life and want to keep it. We don't want to give our life (including our goods and income) to illegal alien criminals.
This is not, as you claim, 'a story involving Hispanic people'. It's a story involving illegal alien criminals who just committed another crime and will be locked away and later deported.
And to further your ignorance, you can't close your comment without taking a shot at your president, can you? As if he has anything to do with this story. But, wait! He's the one who wants to 'wall out' these urchins to begin with, and you don't like that, do you?
What the hell is Brawndo?
You clowns are just dead set on having yet ANOTHER illegal immigration debate. No more on this thread. All you do is rehash the same crap over and over anyway. Stick to the subject of the post: a robbery on Spillway Road.
Ah! The summer is just beginning & the evil criminals will be out & about during the dog days of summer. We only just begun. To Liv! White lace & promises.
I'd be willing to bet the residences mentioned in the story are in the neighborhood of duplexes nearby. That area looks like a cancer ready to spread.
It doesn’t look like a debate on immigration to me, just your standard Rankin Racists spewing their hate for brown people. Same story for the last 100+ years around here.
Should just burn wetback garbage.
11:28, I hate criminals and I don't give a damn what color their skin is.
Kingfish wants to pretend it's simply about a robbery on spillway road when he knows the entire police report, as well as the WLBT coverage, is and was about illegal aliens. Clowns? Indeed...
Duplexes, apartments..both sides of the Reservoir and just across the spillway to the west is the largest conglomeration of Mexicans living in multiple apartments anywhere in this state. This type of crime will only increase. Clowns? Indeed...
When was the last time anybody was stupid enough to attempt a robbery in this area (not counting the pulled-pork-bandits at Little Willie's)? Clowns? Indeed...
Follow the narrative and connect the dots and you will be led to apartments and illegal aliens. Period.
Or don't connect the dots. You can join the Kingfish group of about five people who actually think crime is everywhere and involves everybody indiscriminately. Indeed.
That pulled pork is worth the risk, just sayin'
@1:11 PM
Why dont you take off your hood of anonymity and let us know your real name, you coward.
Bigots should always be exposed and never tolerated. Interesting how people who are publicly known and have a reputation to protect want no part of your hate. You racists always have to keep your true identities in the shadows because you are on the wrong side of history and are social outcasts.
KF, you chicken shit. Build the wall!!!!!
C'mon Kingfish. What's wrong with my posts that twice called your hand? You know as well as I do that this whole thread and incident are both about illegals. I've pointed out to you twice that the police report SIX times mentions HISPANICS, mentions 'UNDOCUMENTED' once and mentions 'ICE', once. If that's not about illegal Mexicans I'll eat your enchilada.
And, again, for the clown at 2:42, how can pointing this out be racist when it's factual? I didn't cause the crime, I didn't write the police report, I didn't call Ice, I'm not the one who determined they were without proper documents and I wasn't a witness who referred to the perps as Hispanics in their descriptions. So, how the hell does this equal racism?
Actually, the 'social outcasts' are those in denial (see 2:42) who (themselves) can't properly assimilate into the mix of advocating normal societal rules and regulations.
This is NOT about a simple crime of opportunity on Spillway Road as Kingfish would have us believe. Nobody believes that. It's about a preponderance in the area of illegal Hispanics. However, if you recognize that reality, you must be a racist.
Isn't it funny when a trashy white Rankin redneck goes on a Reservoir burglary spree, no one says there are too many whites in the county. Hmm.
Thanks 4:54. Been trying to get Kingfish to build the wall for weeks.
That's why I live in Rankin County! Go Sheriff Bailey!!!
Amazing that many of these commenters complain about "illegal" (undocumented) immigrants yet suck up to BC Rogers and Sanderson Farms execs who knowingly hire undocumented workers at slave wages.
