Officials locate Mr. Thompson in Scott County, take him into custody
Officials said in a social media post that Mr. Thompson was located in Scott County and taken into custody without incident. He is currently being held in the Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility, the post said.
The post thanked members of the community for tips that helped identify Mr. Thompson after he was caught on camera committing a crime in Yazoo County. Officials did not provide additional details about the alleged offense or any charges in the post.
Local law enforcement agencies often rely on surveillance footage and community tips to identify suspects and move investigations forward. Arrests carried out without resistance or force reduce immediate risk to officers and the public and allow authorities to begin processing and documenting evidence.
The apprehension ends an active search for the individual in Scott County and clears the way for any further investigative and legal steps by prosecutors and law enforcement. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
