Man leads Gluckstadt Police on chase into Jackson’s Briarwood

GLUCKSTADT — One man is in custody after multiple Madison County law enforcement agencies chased him in a stolen vehicle he was driving down I-55 Tuesday night into Jackson, the authorities said.

The man, Tryndarius Antonio Timms, 23, of Jackson was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property. 

Gluckstadt Assistant Police Chief Barry Hale said the chase began under the Gluckstadt Road Bridge Exit 112 Southbound when officers encountered a White GMC Acadia that had been reported stolen out of Jackson by Capitol Police.

Hale said Timms’ initial appearance in court will be Thursday.

The driver fled down I-55 around 9:15 p.m. on April 25, where other Madison County agencies joined in the pursuit. The occupants abandoned the vehicle at the intersection of Briarwood Drive and I-55 Frontage Road and fled on foot, officials said.

Timms was located in a wooded area near the intersection, Hale said.

“The investigation is still ongoing and more arrests are possible,” Hale said.

No injuries have been reported. 

Hale said Madison PD, Madison County Sheriff’s Department, and the Ridgeland Police Department assisted the Gluckstadt Police Department with the apprehension of Timms in Jackson.
