Real life is not a video game.
One teenager is learning this the hard way after being denied bond following his third arrest in recent months.
Jackson Marshall Pope, 18, was booked at the county jail on Sunday night after reportedly leading a deputy on a vehicle chase down North Columbia Street past Walmart, through the Milledgeville Mall parking lot and on to Roberson Mill Road. Pope was charged with one count each of felony obstruction of an officer, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license and tail light violation.
The deputy's cruiser, along with an assist from a Milledgeville Police Department officer's cruiser, were able to pin in Pope's Toyota Tacoma on Roberson Road near the Childcare Network, the old Children's Friend. The deputy then exited his vehicle, drew his gun and "began giving everyone in the vehicle commands to put their hands up, and they complied."
The deputy then used a "reasonable and necessary amount of force" to get Pope out of the truck and into handcuffs. The other passengers also were handcuffed but eventually "were released without charges after being identified."
The pursuit began on North Columbia near its intersection with Marshall Road. Speeds reached "approximately 75" towards the mall, where Pope "turned into the parking lot and began to acceleraterate through it in a reckless manner." The Tacoma then made a right onto Roberson Mill without stopping, and speeds reached "approximately 75."
Pope also was arrested on May 19 for driving with a suspended license. A mere two days after that, Pope was pulled over downtown in a car that'd been reported stolen from Parham Road. Following the stop, Pope reportedly took off on foot and was tasered twice. Pope reportedly complained that he was tasered too hard and was transported to an area hospital before being arrested.
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
