Some people just can't take advantage of a good break. Exhibit A: Jason Hulsman. Despite getting a suspended sentence for shooting into an occupied dwelling last year, Hulsman might be going to prison anyway after he was arrested for a DUI.

| John Jason Hulsman |
On September 8, 2024, at 9:01 pm, Flowood Police Officers responded to the Gardens of Manship in response to a 911 call about gunshots. Officers arrived and found shell casings in the road, a wooden fence with multiple holes and 1 residence that had been struck by a bullet. After a thorough investigation, the suspect was identified as Jason Hulsman and has been arrested by Flowood PD detectives. He was charged with 1 count of Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling and during his initial appearance in Flowood Municipal Court his bond was set at $75,000.
A Rankin County grand jury indicted Hulsman for attempted shooting into an occupied dwelling in April 2024 but the sentencing gods smiled on Hulsman. The defendant pleaded guilty to attempted shooting into an occupied dwelling in August 2025. Rankin County Circuit Judge Bradley Mills sentenced Hulsman to serve ten years in prison but suspended all ten years of the sentence. However, Hulsman could not stay out of trouble.
Rankin County deputies arrested Hulsman on December 23 for a first offense DUI. The police report states:
On December 23, 2025 at approximately 8:00 AM, I, Deputy Andrew Townsend responded to the intersection of Hugh Ward and Spillway in reference to a 4-car accident. Upon arrival, I spoke with John (Jason) Hulsman and while speaking with him, I noticed the smell of an intoxicating beverage on his breath and that he was not able to properly stand up without holding himself up.
I then asked John Hulsman if he would be willing to give me a breath sample on the pBT. He stated that he would and after he gave me a breath sample, the results were .14. I then placed John Hulsman in custody and while walking to my vehicle, he was stumbling. I then transported him to Reservoir PD to use the intoxilyzer. John Hulsman did not refuse the test and his results were a .23.
Hulsman was arrested and taken to jail. Unfortunately for the defendant, he was not able to post bond because MDOC found out about his little escapade.
MDOC filed a petition to revoke Hulsman's probation on January 8. An arrest warrant for Hulsman was issued and promptly executed.
Note: Thanks to the reader who provided the tip of the arrest.

So, Hinds County isn't the only court system with a generous blessing policy?
Judge Mills dodged a bullet. He could have had the blood of an innocent DUI victim on his hands.
Glad to see that karma is still alive and well...
Happy! Happy! Happy!
Known this guy a long time. I wonder how much time he’ll get?
I am pretty sure this guy went to Prep. Class of 1991
Not the only but certainly the most derelict and reckless judiciary by a very wide margin.
Fat, drunk and stupid appears to be a lifestyle choice despite what Dean Wormer said.
I reckon nobody knows what could possibly have been the reason for the suspended ten year sentence.
That's not how it works.
Offenders get chances or consequences. The judge decides that.
Offenders use any chances the judge bestowed to either change their ways or repeat their crimes. That's on the offeneder.
I'll drink to this-
10:47 AM...This guy has had many legal problems over the years. Somehow he always circles the bowl. The judge knew that and suspended his sentence anyway. That is the question...why?
