A situation involving a mentally unstable male was resolved peacefully by JCSD moments ago at a residence off of Jonathan Way near Luther Hill Road.

The incident started as a medical call; however, medical first responders and EMServ medics arrived to find that the subject had broken out windows and caused extensive damage inside the home.

Jones County Sheriff's Department units responded to the call and while on Luther Hill Road came up behind a vehicle which rapidly accelerated in what appeared to be an attempt to elude deputies for some unknown reason and crashed shortly thereafter.

The mentally unstable male from Johnathan Way was transported by EMServ to Forrest General Hospital for evaluation. The driver of the passenger car that crashed was transported by EMServ to South Central Regional Medical Center for treatment of injuries sustained.
