If you get a text saying the Driver Service Bureau is going to suspend your license, cancel your vehicle registration, or demanding immediate payment… it’s a SCAM!

DSB will not text you threatening suspension or asking you to click random links to pay fees.

🖤💙🖤 Our hearts and prayers go out to the Jackson County Sheriff’s office, as well as; the family and friends of Deputy Jimerson!🙏🏼

On Wednesday evening, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office received a call for a noise disturbance at an apartment complex in St. Martin, Mississippi. Deputy Mike Jimerson was first to arrive, and encountered a female suspect armed with a handgun. A foot pursuit ensued, with the pair exchanging gunfire with each other. The female was killed at the scene. Deputy Jimerson was rushed to the hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.

61-year old Deputy Mike Jimerson began his career with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office as a volunteer reserve deputy in 2010, until being hired part-time in the Patrol Division in 2014. Even while working a full-time career during the day, he spent his nights in uniform, keeping the citizens of Jackson County safe.

Mike was known for his calm demeanor, service-first mindset, and had never received a complaint during his tenure with the JCSO. He developed connections with the community and with the men and women that worked along side him. Sheriff Ledbetter stated the younger deputies looked up to him as the gold standard and his decade-and-a-half as a deputy couldn’t be overstated. In his free time, Mike loved being on the water, especially out at Horn Island, his second home, where he was happiest. Some of his best memories were made there, surrounded by the people he loved most.

Deputy Jimerson leaves behind a loving wife, two children and three grandchildren. Mike’s son is also a law enforcement officer at another agency and served with his father at the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
