On Tuesday night 09/13/2016 just prior to midnight Prentiss County Sheriff's Deputies Aaron Stolz, Wesley Graves and Baldwyn Police were conducting a Roadside Safety Checkpoint when a Driver fled from Officers. Officers pursued the individual to the intersection of Industrial Park Road and North Fifth Street in Baldwyn where the Driver, identifed as Teddy Raricus Cobb 26 of Moore Ave Tupelo, stopped his vehicle and fled on foot.
