Who is surprised that the car was a Dodge Charger?

Drive it like you stole it, son. It was stolen wasn’t it?

Approving these comments rather fast, eh?

Hard Times Road. 'Nuff said.

Drive it like you stole it, son. It was stolen wasn’t it?

What the hell is an 'improper start'? This wasn't a track meet.

"Hard Times Road"...Indeed, boyz.

Hard Times Road. ‘Nuff said.

Listening to the Benny Hill Theme, should be requisite for reading this press release.

One less clown car we have to listen to

I trust Taco has some law enforcement experience. I have seen many of the states constables. I would encourage those to stay with serving process.

No names or points of origin for these 18 year old didappers?

I thought constables are elected to only to be serving warrants and other process type stuff from Justice Court and other local county courts, not handing out speeding tickets and pulling people over for traffic violations? Am I wrong in thinking this? Rules may not apply as one in Rankin County was married to a woman who had a felony and couldn't be in the presence of a firearm. I'm sure he left it at the Sheriffs dept before she went home though.

WTF is a constable doing trying to pull people over? Aren't they supposed to be serving evictions for not paying rent?

Wannabe real cop. Take away his lights/siren.

the office of constable is an elected, indepedant office. something left over from the horse and buggy days that mississippi will never let go of. this particular constable is a former madison county sheriffs deputy. he will soon be running for justice court judge in the next election cycle. theses ''press releases'' are part of his campaign to show he's tough on crime.

Well , he IS the police chief of Flora.

Little-man syndrome. Got a truck with big tires, syreeen, blue lights, 9mm, badge, worked LEO for the high shurf, well-liked by the law-community, ain't got no time for normal duties. Gonna get him some speeders and God help you if he sees you driving cross-ways in the Wal Mart parking lot.

Just wait til the legislature allows S.O. clowns and Constables to have radar.

In his 'press release' he seems to leave out the nature of the infraction for which the stop was initiated.

Police Chiefs in Flora turn over as regular as me on a lumpy mattress. How can one be a constable and police chief at the same time? Kingfish's head will explode when he realizes how those employee PERS contributions are stacking up.

Instead of diddling around with 'brain drain', Uncle Shad needs to look into this.

More interesting is the fact that the article doesn't state what the driver did wrong in the first place.

8:56

Possession of a controlled substance while in possession of a firearm
Disorderly conduct
Resisting arrest

When the police turn on the blue lights you pull over. People with common sense know this.

Felony fleeing, in possession of a controlled substance and you sound like you hate the man that was only trying to do his job and protect the public.It was probably reckless driving that initiated the stop to begin with. You must be with the defund the police crowd.

Some light reading for those who wish to know, or not know.
Chapter 19 - CONSTABLES (§§ 19-19-1 — 19-19-15)
Section 19-19-5 - General duties of constables; training program

Four 18 year-olds on a high speed chase through a movie set - I'm sure the production crew is really wondering whether the constable overstepped his job description.

Well, it is a reasonable question to ask why a Constable is conducting traffic stops. However, the criminal records of these guys saves Burrito from scrutiny.

Check out MS Code § 19-19-5 (2023). Constables have authority to enforce the laws of the state, including for traffic infractions. Although anecdotally, it seems rare that they exercise this authority, state law does give it to them.

I "assume" enchilada had a reasonable suspicion these yutes were up to no good. He pulled them over for a traffic violation and per his profile of the perpetrators, he was correct. And I am thankful they are off the streets, however, what if he was wrong and they were all clean and good. Does a constable carry a ticket book with them? Can he write actual traffic citations?

He's no Taco. He's the Chalupa of Madison County law enforcement.

Inserting the "Taco" nickname in his own press release? C'mon man.

Just so someone will have taken the side of Law Enforcement Officers. I say good for this officer. At least they were apprehended in Madison County. They were breaking the law, fleeing from the law with drugs? in their possession and endangered lives by refusing to stop for a law official. Send them to the county farm, so they can get credit on their resume.

I like the narrative from the source, not second hand rumor. Druggies flee into an area concentrated with Police doing Crowd Control, Idiot's indeed. Attempted murder!!!!, Lucky no one was killed, but the driver did try to run over our MC Deputy. Oh, and the Probable Cause of the stop was the last charge written. Improper Start, Idiots do a burn-out in front of the Law? History teaches us, the Law man will respond.

Richard “Taco” Johnson did Madison County a big favor by running for Constable. This man is an experienced law enforcement officer and investigator. His honesty and integrity is above and beyond. I’m not his mother, just somebody who knows him.

I’ve been here several years and this the very first time ever, that I’ve seen a Press Release, provided by a constable. He moves around a lot. Madison County, FBI, Madison County, Flora PD Chief. Probably more in between those. Is it just a large ego? KF, did he just volunteer the PR to all media outlets? This just seems different.

He knocked on my door asking for my vote. I decided it was time for someone new and so I voted him. I’ve been pleased with Mr Johnson.

A constable has the same powers as a deputy. He can arrest, write tickets and serve papers Countywide, not just in his district. This constable is well respected, highly trained and highly experienced.
