A suspect wanted out of Hinds County on carjacking charges has been apprehended in Yazoo County after a dangerous chase through the community.
Kalveonte Moore remains in custody at the Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility.
“Investigator Antwan Jones observed the suspect’s vehicle traveling northbound on Highway 49 as it entered the Yazoo City limits,” said Jeremy McCoy. “Deputies quickly made contact with the vehicle, but the driver refused to pull over so a pursuit was initiated.”
McCoy added that the vehicle Moore was driving had been reported stolen and has since been recovered.
“Thanks to the coordinated efforts of multiple agencies, the pursuit was successfully concluded without injury,” he said. “All officers involved are safe, and Moore is currently being held at the Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility.”
Moore has a criminal history within the local community. More details on that connection will appear in the next edition of The Herald.
