SUMMARY: Six former law enforcement officers, including five deputies from the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office and one former Richland police officer, could potentially face decades in prison for their admitted involvement in heinous crimes. Two of the officers, Brett McAlpin and Joshua Hartfield, have recently been shown in newly released mugshots while being held in Forrest County. The other four officers have been booked into the Pearl River County Jail, but their mugshots have not been released. The crimes they have pleaded guilty to include multiple federal felony offenses related to the brutalization and torture of Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker. The events that occurred on January 24th have been described as unimaginable and akin to a horror film. The court documents reveal that the officers tased, handcuffed, poured chocolate syrup, milk, and alcohol on the victims, forced them to undress, and sexually assaulted them with a sex toy attached to a BB gun. Additionally, prosecutors revealed that one deputy shot Jenkins in the mouth, and the officers attempted to cover up the incident afterwards. The charges against the officers include conspiracy against rights, deprivation of rights under the color of law, conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice, and using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm in the act of violence. Sheriff Bryan Bailey expressed deep shame and called it the worst case of police brutality he has seen in his career. The officers could face up to 10 years in prison for conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights charges, along with fines, supervised Release, and stipulated fees. One of the officers, Daniel Opdyke, has taken responsibility for his actions and admitted to his guilt, expressing remorse for the harm inflicted upon the victims. The sentencing for all six officers is scheduled for mid-November, and they will remain in custody until then.

SUMMARY: The Jackson Storage Center on Highway 18 has caught fire for the second time in recent months, with the call coming in at 6 a.m. Monday. The previous fire in September damaged 25% of the building, and firefighters faced difficulties extinguishing the blaze due to the building’s tin construction and hard-to-access areas. It took three days to fully contain the earlier fire, which was determined to have been intentionally set. The cause of the current fire is still under investigation, and no injuries have been reported. Firefighters and AMR are actively working to put out the flames.

SUMMARY: An internal investigation is underway regarding two Jackson police officers following a fatal crash involving 35-year-old Tina Carter. The incident occurred late Friday or early Saturday when Carter’s car hit a tree, splitting in half and catching fire, resulting in her death. Controversy arose when a police cruiser reportedly passed the crash scene without stopping; Chief Joseph Wade mentioned the possibility of a pursuit but emphasized the need for accountability for the officers’ actions and inactions. The officers have been placed on administrative leave, and the victim’s family has expressed appreciation for the transparency in the investigation.
