Photo by Brett Campbell / Officers from multiple law enforcement agencies joined in a pursuit and investigation that resulted midday Friday in a ditched vehicle on Walnut Street and a suspect fleeing on foot.

A suspect driving a gray Nissan sedan ditched his vehicle on Walnut Street just before noon Friday, and fled law enforcement officers on foot.

After an apparent high-speed pursuit into the city, officers with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Brookhaven Police Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol and Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics conducted a search of the abandoned vehicle as other officers attempted to locate the driver.

A witness told an MBN officer she saw the suspect flee toward Main Street when he jumped out of his car and bumped into hers as she drove by.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
