Dollars to doughnuts the runner wasn’t running because of a speeding ticket.
I am sure he was wanted for something else.
Windham then asked why Andrews and other suspects chose Jackson to flee to.
“An important question we need to ask is why criminals feel Jackson is a safe haven or a sanctuary city. It appears their mentality is ‘If they can only get to the city limits and hide in the neighborhoods they can get away,’” Windham wrote.
Windham highlighted some of the reasons why Andrews may have decided to flee the police:
Andrews is currently out on felony bond from Flowood Police Department for possession with intent to sell narcotics while in possession of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm.
Andrews is a suspect in a capital murder case (kidnapping and murder) in Jackson being handled by the Hinds County DA
Was charged in 2021 for armed robbery and shooting into a vehicle in Hinds County.
Was arrested in Pearl for DUI and speeding in 2021.
In Thursday’s pursuit, Pearl officers found a 30-round extended magazine in his car that he tried to hide behind an abandoned house after hitting the mail truck.
Windham ended his statement by responding to Lumumba’s concerns.
“Not once did Mayor Lumumba condemn Brandon Andrews for running from the police for breaking the law or causing the death of the postal employee. That is unacceptable. His only blame was on the Pearl Police,” Windham wrote. “Ninety-nine percent of people pull over for ‘minor traffic stops’ the ones that run have sinister reasons for not stopping.”
PLEASE get this to Tucker, Hannity, etc. if any folks have contacts.
Needs to go national.
