Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
On Thursday, July 7 a deputy with the Rankin County Interstate Interdiction unit was on a traffic stop on Interstate 20. The deputy observed a vehicle behind him lose control, rolling over multiple times and coming to rest on its side in the median. The deputy immediately responded to the accident followed by other members of the interdiction unit. Multiple citizens stopped to help as well, helping to put out a fire that had formed around the engine. Deputies discovered there were children in the car and immediately began removing them and the other passengers from the vehicle. All occupants were alert and responsive. The children were all transported to a local hospital for precautionary measures.

Coincidental or was the car swerving and rolling in response to the LEO unit stopped roadside?
Kudos to Rankin County.
But if you think we're going to forget about Jenkins, you're crazy.
Thank you to our Rankin County deputies & to the citizens who stopped to assist.
What did I miss? How did the deputies 'save the children'?
Hold on! Rankin? Is Bailey still doing press releases?
The sheriff is trying to redeem himself with all of the recent well deserved bad press.
Happy ending and great news. I’m normally not a fan of Rankin in general (not because it’s an otherwise bad place, but because of the animosity towards Jackson), but this is a story we can all be glad about. Thanks for sharing. Wish we could have more stories like this on here.
Convenient. Let’s see the dash cam Mr. Soon to be ex-sheriff.
Hope we done with the press conferences! Just fire who recommended that and do a press release and that includes the 12 year old with Bailey.
I have no doubt that the sheriff is closely monitoring field activity looking for material for positive press releases. Too little, too late. Resign you loser.
"Is Bailey still doing press releases?"
Nah, he's only grasping at straws for his next election.
As usual, law enforcement in Rankin county flexing their egotistical muscles, but luckily children were not killed. I assume these Rankin cops congregated like deer hunters boasting about kills or captures. No wonder you never see Madison county plates anywhere in Rankin county except to and from the Medgar Evers Air Port. But, on the other hand, you can buy a CHEAP house there, because “who wants to live there.”
Sometime you have to know when to let the power go.
Sounds like a lot of folks on here posting sour grapes. Lots of jealousy that Rankin is still safe and prosperous vs Hinds (no explanation necessary and Madison (getting squeezed from the north and south.) Take a look and see if land prices are highest in Hinds, Madison or Rankin. You might be surprised.
&:30 There are many nice homes that are not cheap in Rankin County . Be nice
That's wrong 8:30. Ride by any restaurant or shopping venue in Rankin and you will see a running ton of Madison tags.

When I read the comments every morning in this blog y’all make me smile! I try to see the good in some things. Thanks to the responders doing their jobs!
Have a great day!
Those deputies didn’t save anyone.
After the rollover, everyone was secure. All the cops did was show up, direct traffic and assist with the removal of passengers.
EMTs and paramedics showed up and did the work.
Give me a break.
Fortunately they didn't waterboard those kids.
I know one of the responding deputies: he has been lauded for his effective and professional performance several times before. Maybe Jackson can emulate Rankin's prompt police response if HB1020 is implemented. Rankin can only get even better after removing the few belligerent LEOs that have tainted their reputation.
More feel good cover-up vibes for RCSD in 5…4…3
So Madison is not considered "safe and prosperous"? I'll make a note of that, and the unknown blowhard source of that info.
Like I said, the sheriff is trying to create some positive press after all of the water-boarding, gunshot to the face, and etc.
It's time for new management.

Can you read? The deputy SAW the wreck. He called for fie and medical. He pulled them from the vehicle.
Sheriff Bailey's motive for this type of news statement is pretty transparent. He must think we all just feel off the turnip truck.
Kinda' like the Lacy Underall quote from Caddyshack:
Danny Noonan : I planned to go to law school after I graduated, but it looks like my folks won't have enough money to put me through college.
Judge Smails : Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.
Lacey Underall : [to Danny] Nice try.
Breaking News!
Sheriff Bailey: "One of my deputies helped a little old lady across the street and didn't waterboard her."
Deputies Save Turtle
Late Friday evening 2 RCSO deputies from the Interdiction unit noticed a turtle attempting to cross two lanes during high volume of traffic on I 20. Thru quick action the deputies stopped traffic, picked up the turtle and placed him on the side of the road, saving him/her from being squashed like a pancake.
Didn't you read it? They saved the children by not handcuffing them and shooting them in the mouth.
Kingfish is the one who used the word 'saves', not Bailey. It's known as a 'bait word' in the media world.

You're right. LOTS of Madison people prefer to shop in Rankin County, because the music in stores, is from the current millennium (in Madison County, it ranges between 60s Bubblegum, and Slim Whitman singing 'Una Paloma Blanca'. It's like a wormhole has transported you to a trailerpark in 1972).
Plus, if you want to get your cell phone replaced (or anything else involving customer service), in Rankin, it's instant and effortless. In Madison or Hinds Counties, the experience is indescribable - and not in a good way.
I think the recent events by some Rankin LEO is disgusting and hope they all go to prison.
I also think its a nice place to live. But I feel no need to convince anyone else to move here.
Feel free to avoid it.
Lay off of Madison County!! We are 100000% better that Hinds or Rankin County!!! I love my city, named Gluckstadt!!!!
