Kinsey Police Chief Jim Mock and Sgt. Morgan of Kinsey Police.
Kinsey Police Sgt. Morgan deployed Kinsey Police K-9 BIBI who tracked the suspect down and took him into custody and drugs recovered.

I have to input because some people think

Rickey Stokes is a dumb ass bondsman. As this chase was passing Benton Store Road coming up on Houston County Road 55, I called Kinsey Police Chief Mock and said are you tracking this chase? He was off duty and was not. I told him it was on County Road 22 headed towards Headland but could hit Gilley Mill Road to was putting him on alert.

Well he got Morgan and Kinsey Police K-9 and responded and was instrumental in the apprehension.

NOW MY RANT AS A DUMB ASS BONDSMAN

This was done while I was laying in bed at home. And you would be surprised how many behind the scene incidents I am involved in. And I serve as Deputy Coroner in Houston and Henry County, for free. In Dale County paid per call but they make me cash the checks.

But some in power, think that I am just a dumb ass bondsman. And they attempt to block me from my passion in emergency services. Which is what Ricky Herring did. And Brandon Shoupe trashes me who knows nothing on emergency services. All he knows how to do is draw a large check from the county while working Tri-State Graphics, where was today at 2 PM rather than his full time job as Chairman of Houston County Commission.

so, this dumbass bondsman helped. Even though the legislative delegation, City Commission and City Manager also feel, apparently am a dumb ass bondsman.

LOL, I asked for a old vehicle of Sheriff Department, to be parked behind the Sheriff Department that I have key when called to a decomposed body. I furnish my own vehicle and gas and do not want a county vehicle. But I want a older vehicle to drive to decomposed bodies. And I think

I have worked 5. The last thing you want to do is to get into a vehicle you pay for with the smell of a body that has been dead for a month. I have had to replace two sets of a $ 160 pairs of on clouds because of stepping in maggots on deaths where the person has been dead for a month.

Not complaining, love helping, but get tired of persons thinking I am just a dumb ass bondsman. Been in this since 1977.

I can’t get a old vehicle to respond to decomposed bodies as Coroner, but Ricky Herring had a county truck with about 40,000 miles and as he got out as a Commissioner he got a brand new county truck for his desk job with Sheriff Department. A nice going away gift as he went off the commission.

And remember, as Coroner… no one ever makes an appointment. You never know when and where going. Not complaining because my passion is serving others with no financial incentive.

And glad as a dumb ass bondsman I could help tonight.
