On 04/21/2025 I, Officer Corbin Southern responded to a call of an intoxicated male at Regions Bank. While enroute the call progressed and dispatch gave updated locations of the vehicle, which was a white Ford explorer, believed to be occupied by the intoxicated male.

As dispatch was giving out updated locations of the vehicle it became apparent that it was traveling west bound on Chestnut Street. I caught up to the vehicle on Chestnut Street at its intersection with Green Road.

As I approached the intersection of Chestnut Street and Green Road, the driver of a red Toyota Tundra, [VICTIM #1], who was also the caller, was behind the suspect vehicle. The driver of the Tundra waved me around him so I could get behind the suspect vehicle. At that time, I initiated my blue lights and sounded my siren briefly as I began to go around him and a vehicle that was behind him. Before getting behind the suspect vehicle I deactivated my lights so as not to conduct a traffic stop on said vehicle.

Once in front of the Tundra, the suspect vehicle turned left onto Green Road. I turned left and got behind the vehicle while notifying dispatch. A short time later the vehicle pulled into Lavon’s Barber Shop and stopped.

I pulled in behind the vehicle, got out and walked up to the driver side. As I walked up dispatch came over the radio and stated that the caller was going to be pulled into Lavon in a red Toyota Tundra with a white camper (shell). I had the driver, [WITNESS #1], roll the back window down so I could see inside the vehicle for my safety. As he rolled the window down I observed the front seat passenger was Jacob Sitton. Sitton immediately stated “Corbin, this ain’t a fu*king Tundra” as he had heard my radio. Sitton stated “This is a Explorer.” I could immediately tell that Sitton was intoxicated as he slurred his words while talking.

I asked the [WITNESS #1] to step out and talk to me to which Sitton drunkenly stated “Talk to him”

[WITNESS #1] exited the vehicle and stated that he was headed to take Sitton to his grandmothers. [WITNESS #1] stated “He’s got drunk on me” referring to Sitton. I asked [WITNESS #1] what had happened to which he stated that he (Sitton) had had too much (referring to alcohol).

I asked [WITNESS #1] what had happened out at Regions to which he stated that Sitton had gotten out and laid on the ground. He also stated that when the guy in the red truck (Tundra and also caller) had pulled up he [WITNESS #1] told him that Sitton was drunk. [WITNESS #1] stated that Sitton gets out of hand and you can’t do anything with him.

I asked [WITNESS #1] what Sitton done and he stated that he was drunk and loud. While speaking to [WITNESS #1], Sitton walked around the back side of the vehicle and approached me. I instructed Sitton to stay in the car three times to which he stated “No I’m not I’m going to stay right here.” as he slurred his words. At that point Sitton was approximately two to three feet away from me. I informed Sitton he was going to stay in the car or he was going to go in handcuffs. Sitton began pulling up his shorts and looking at me in an aggressive manner.

Sitton began back toward the vehicle at which time I decided it would be best to place him in handcuffs to prevent the situation from escalating, due to his intoxicated state. I then grabbed Sitton by the wrist and placed him in handcuffs behind his back. While placing him in handcuffs I observed that he had blood on his arm, unrelated to being handcuffed as it was further up his arm.

After placing him in handcuffs I told him that he was not going to get out and walk up on me like that. Sitton then stated “I didn’t walk up on you, you son of a bi*ch” I then opened my patrol car door and instructed Sitton to have a seat to which he stated “You piece of sh*t.” I once again told him to have a seat, Sitton then yelled “Fu*k you.” As the door was being closed Sitton stated “You sorry Motherfu*ker.”

After placing him in the back of my patrol car I spoke to Officer Spencer Jinright who advised that the driver of the Tundra, [VICTIM #1], stated that he was checking on Sitton as he was laid out in the parking lot (of Regions). Officer Jinright stated that [VICTIM #1] told him that Sitton jumped up and started cussing and yelling at him and running at his truck.

I spoke to [WITNESS #1] once again and it was found that Sitton had been dropped off at Regions with [WITNESS #1], by his grandmother. [WITNESS #1] and Sitton had went to a family members house before coming back to Regions for Sitton’s grandmother to pick him up again.

Shortly thereafter, Sitton was moved from my patrol car to Officer Jinright’s so he did not bust the glass out of mine as I do not have a cage in the back of my car around the windows. Officer Jinright transported Sitton to MCSO where he and I escorted Sitton inside. While walking into the jail Sitton intentionally banged his head off of the door. Sitton was then escorted inside and turned over to jail staff.

Afterward I spoke with the caller, [VICTIM #1] over the phone. [VICTIM #1] advised me that he had seen Sitton laid out on the ground and stopped to check on him. [VICTIM #1] stated that Sitton jumped up off the ground and began cussing at him. [VICTIM #1] stated that Sitton was drunk or high on something and stated that Sitton told him that he would stomp his a*s. He also stated that Sitton said “You’re not going to leave me here Motherfu*ker” [VICTIM #1] also informed me that Sitton tried to get into his truck and reach for the back door handle.

***Sitton was charged with two counts of Disorderly Conduct one for the incident at Regions Bank and one for the incident at Lavon’s Barber Shop. He was also charged with Public Drunkenness***
