On Monday morning July 16th at just after midnight Prentiss County Deputies arrested Samuel Thomas English on Felony charges of Felony fleeing and Burglary. The incident started when English was observed running a stop sign at a high rate of speed. The suspect refused to stop for the officer. Numerous other officers joined the pursuit. After several minutes English was stopped and taken into custody. The burglary charge stemmed from the recovery of items that had been stolen. The victim in the case did not even realize the incident had occurred until contacted by Officers. English is being held in custody without bond at this point.
He was on probation at the time of his arrest and a hold has been placed on him by Mississippi Department of Corrections. This was a great job on the part of all the Deputies and Officers involved. And it goes to show how a situation can progress from a simple traffic violation into felony charges and the solving of other crimes. If the Deputies had not followed up on the suspicious property and identified the items, he might have gotten away with it.
