August 3, 2026

As deputies attempted to take the suspect into custody, the suspect fled in a vehicle, leading deputies on a pursuit.

The pursuit began in the Pleasant Grove community of Pike County and continued into the City of McComb. While traveling on White Boulevard, the suspect intentionally struck a Pike County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle before abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot south from the scene.

Deputies have since established a perimeter around a nearby residence. K-9 units and the Pike County Sheriff’s Office Drone Team are actively assisting in the operation, and investigators are in the process of obtaining a search warrant for the residence.

Sheriff Bryant “Wally” Jones stated, “We have reason to believe the suspect is inside the residence. At this time, we do not believe there is any danger to the public. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as our deputies work to bring this situation to a safe conclusion.”

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the Pike County Sheriff’s Office immediately. Additional updates will be provided as the investigation continues.
