Double Murder Suspect Caught in Rankin County

 Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issue the following statement. 



Matthew Brian KIDD was arrested early this morning at a hotel in Brandon. KIDD is a suspect in two murders over the past two days.

On the morning of Wednesday August 27th, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a deceased person in the 3300 block of Highway 80. Deputies responded to the scene and found William Earl Morris deceased of apparent gunshot wounds. Investigators developed suspects in the case and began following leads in the case. Matthew Brian KIDD was developed as a suspect in the case.

The evening of Thursday August 28th, the Brandon Police Department received a call of gunshot victim on Gayden Street. The circumstances of Brandon’s shooting closely matched the shooting out in the county.

Information sharing and cooperation resulted in connecting the two murders. Brandon Police Department and the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office worked together and developed evidence that Matthew Brian KIDD was the suspect in both cases.

Early this morning law enforcement received a tip that Matthew Brian KIDD had checked into a hotel in Brandon. The observant witness had seen the local news and recognized KIDD as being a wanted person.

Brandon Police Department and Rankin County Sheriff’s Office SWAT teams responded to the hotel and executed a search warrant that Brandon PD had obtained. Matthew Brian KIDD was taken into custody without incident. A weapon was also recovered from the room.

Matthew Brian KIDD was taken into custody and charged with both of the murders. Additionally KIDD with be charged with Home Invasion x 2 and Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon.

District Attorney Bubba Bramlett will bring Matthew Brian KIDD before Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow Jr. and Brandon Municipal Judge Whitney Adams respectively for an initial appearance.

Brandon Police Chief Joseph French and Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey thank and praise all of the hard work that all of the officers and deputies put in on this case to get this dangerous person off our streets. We would also like to thank the media for putting the suspect’s picture and information out in a timely manner resulting in numerous tips.

Kingfish note: Kidd is a suspect in the murder of William Morris.

Why is Sheriff Bryan Bailey smiling ?!?!

The look on the face of the officer on the left is priceless.

I’m glad to see Bryan Bailey crawled out of his armored personnel carrier for the photo OP. That is typically where he cowers whenever he is on the scene of any sort of hostile situations.

At least he had his best underwear on like you where when go to doctor

Why do these idiots wear baby-sized ballistic gear? Don't they realize that they have an entire body-mass sized gut that would be easy for a blind man to hit from the moon? This photo looks like three rednecks coming back from a kinky fishing trip. All kinds of stupid happening in this photo. Rankin County is retarded.

@9:30 Because they don’t make plate carriers in fatboy sizes. Neither of these two were in any danger. They were hiding in the APC the entire time until this picture was taken. From the looks of it, they caught the guy sleeping.

Thugs smile. Both criminals in this picture are smiling. Two people died and this fool is smiling (talking about BB).

Why wtf is he smiling? Doesn’t he know he’s going to prison?

It is mind boggling how the RCSO is still stuck with the same crappy leadership. That belly shows BB ain't got a care in the world. Eating and grinning for the camera. Such a damn embarrassment. Someone needs to wipe that smile off both criminals faces.

Make him live in trace wood apartments in Jackson! That’s worse than prison!

Looks like Simon City Royals have some beef with each other...

Officer on the left is like "Yea, just another day at the office". Looks like he's done this many times.

It’s still organized crime, even if it’s called a gang and very unorganized. Hunt them down like feral hogs!

What’s the over/under on this felon’s apprehension status had this crime occurred in Hinds County? I’ll take BB and his boss hog ways any day.

He just got arrested for a capital crime. He is smiling. I guess he is proud of the size of the bulge in his underwear. Whatever.

Anonymous said...

I wonder how much money he has spent at various tattoo parlors?

He will be missed at biker bear week

BB should lay off the pork. It’s clearly a safety hazard

That’s jailhouse ink. He paid a few packs of ramen while some meth headed fool put a bunch of squiggly incoherent lines all over him.

If only he had committed these murders in Jackson he could have taken a plea bargain for jaywalking and grand mopery.

That's not illegal, is it? Public service.

12:43............public service killings are only legal in the movies and on television. you really should go home to your mother.

Thanks for the update, Kingfish! Yesterday, going just from the headshot, I was wondering why someone with those aqua eyes, that wide jaw, and such enviable beard color, wouldn't be too busy on OnlyFans, to run around murdering (and whatever else illegal he's been doing). But that ultra-informative underwear shot answers that question. Poor little guy....

The star in the middle of his chest is one of their trademarks. This is almost certainly gang-related.

I'm amazed at the number of posters focused on the crotch.

If that amazes you, 1:50, then you probably need so steer-clear of Rankin County (and Hattiesburg, and Tupelo, and the Yacht Club, and...). Or, you can prepare yourself for Culture Shock, by going into JJ Archives, and delve-deep into the Todd Mardis Saga (court testimony describing 2 couples out at a restaurant, sharing photos, is mind-boggling), and the Ivana/Sippi Girls Chronicles (I particularly relish the described converation, when Ivana and 3 of her coworkers were out on some sort of group date. Personally, I find it refreshing, to know they're so flexible).

Bailey has that shit-eating grin because he is very thankful for not being indicted by the feds.

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.
