Description
In April of 1972, police authorities in Jackson County, Mississippi, had been given a description of an automobile which had allegedly been used in a burglary in the Jackson County area. On April 26, 1972, a vehicle matching the description of the automobile in question as set forth in a John Doe Warrant was spotted outside of a local motel by two police officers. After a short period of surveillance, the police officers observed the appellant and two female companions leave the motel in the suspect automobile. Shortly thereafter, the automobile in question was stopped by the two policemen for questioning of its occupants. Following a conversation dealing with the existence or sufficiency of an arrest warrant, appellant disarmed both officers at gunpoint and ordered them into their police cruiser. Appellant then directed the officers to drive him to a remote wooded area where appellant handcuffed both policemen to a tree. Appellant then drove the patrol car to the police firing range where he surrendered to pursuing law officers.
