Man Jailed after Wreck with Sheriff/Chief McMillin

Hinds County Sheriff and Jackson Police Chief Malcolm McMillin is back at work after his SUV was totaled in a crash Wednesday night. Nobody was seriously injured, but McMillin says he's sore, and he's not very pleased about what happened to his SUV.

McMillin says it happened as he was returning to Jackson from a Mississippi State University basketball game. A white Buick Park Avenue ran a red light and sideswiped McMillin's Ford Expedition around midnight at the intersection of Southwest and Gallatin streets.

The driver of the Buick, Michael Paul Davis, 26, is being charged with DUI, reckless driving and five other charges. Davis didn't have a driver's license or any insurance. He also had an expired inspection sticker.

"I haven't checked on him," McMillin said. "I'm not concerned with his welfare."

McMillin says about five officers came to his aid after the crash. He adds that Davis walked away from the scene and came back about fifteen minutes later.

Davis is being held at the Hinds County Detention center. No bond has been set.
