Authorities have successfully apprehended 20 year-old Kriston Ramsey, an escaped fugitive who was on the run in the Lake Dixie Springs area while transitioning from Pike County MS into Lincoln County MS custody.
According to Lincoln County Sheriff Steve Rushing, Pike County Sheriff’s Office served a Lincoln County warrant Thursday (August 7, 2025) on Ramsey for failure to appear in Drug Court. When a Pike deputy met a Lincoln deputy at the county line on Hwy. 51 to transfer the prisoner, Ramsey bolted into the woods in Pike County. After a two-hour search involving the Pike County K9 unit “CHOPPA” and Drone Team and a heicopter, Ramsey was captured in the lake itself. Ramsey has been booked into the Lincoln County Jail and is facing additional charges.
The PCSO noted, “We are grateful for all the agencies that responded and contributed to a quick resolution. Their teamwork and dedication ensured the safety of the community.
