Pearl Catches Police Impersonator Suspect

The Pearl Police Department issued the following statement


Pearl Police arrested Charlie Winston IV, 26, from Jackson, for impersonating a police officer Wednesday morning.


Winston, driving a black 2016 Kia Soul, with white flashing lights on the dash and visors, pulled over another driver on Interstate 20 near Pearson Rd. around 9 a.m. Wednesday. 

Pearl Police were notified of the stop and when officers arrived they saw a tactical vest and what appeared to be two handguns in the passenger seat of Winston’s vehicle.  The guns turned out to be BB guns that looked very real.

Winston is charged with impersonating an officer and no driver’s license.

Pearl Police Investigators are asking the public if they have come in contact with Winston to call the Criminal Investigations Division at 601-932-3578 or email criminal.investigations@cityofpearl.com.

Winston is being held at the Rankin County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.

Kingfish has a entry from 7/13/2017, Charles Winston IV arrested for being bad as in carjacking and given 170k in bail in Hinds County. Not that long ago, must have been blessed or never stood trial.
Maybe he turned life around, practicing for a career in LE?

A quick search on arrests.org shows this is not necessarily a new thing for him, but hopefully now it will be the last. 9/3/16 - arrested in Madison for suspended license and improper equipment on vehicle, 7/11/17 - arrested in Byram for Armed Robbery/Carjacking, 10/2/17 - arrested by US Marshalls in Madison for Carjacking/Attempted carjacking.

Glad they got him... Byram PD arrested him back in July 2017 for Armed Robbery and Carjacking. See their post https://www.facebook.com/byrampd/posts/1786612814689371

The part that KF and the local media is failing to report (no surprise) is that this creep was pulling over young pretty white girls.

For some reason I laughed out loud at the thought of a guy driving around impersonating a cop with guns on the front seat while having a suspended drivers license.

His penalty need to be sitting on the side of the road wearing a dunce cap that says, I am not the po po.

Serious Question.. said...

Seriously - How was this gentleman loose in society with that many recent arrests on serious charges, federal, state and local?

Please note that I did not mention race, did not draw any conclusions as to his mental condition, did not refer to him as a thug and did not judge his guilt on the prior charges.

At 9:58. Most likely you will find this is most likely due to the ACLU. That's why he is out. The Armed Robbery and Carjacking are probably not being pursed as Violent Crimes since he did not shoot anyone or discharge the weapon that I can find. Betting this to be true. DWLS and Impersonating a cop are usually misdemeanors.

Armed robbery, carjacking, attempted carjacking...loose on the streets?

Anyone remember someone doing this around Tunica several years back and killing someone? Seems to me part of this problem is unmarked law enforcement vehicles. Yesterday I was behind an unmarked F-150 pickup truck with small hidden blue lights riding the bumper of a car trying to pull them over for a mile or more. All I could think is that I wouldn’t pull over for that truck until I was at a service station or other crowded place and I certainly wouldn’t want my teenage daughter or wife to do so.
For public safety all law enforcement vehicles should be clearly marked as such.

52? No Shit? said...

7:35 - Just wait until you get on the Natchez Trace. Those cowboys are in pickups, Bat-mobiles and junkers. They'll pull your ass over if you're in a 4-wheeler but will never pull over a commercial vehicle.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
