JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A man pled guilty in connection to multiple felony counts that stemmed from a high-speed chase in Jackson that left an innocent driver critically injured.

Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens said during the trial, Michael McGlothin, 51, pled guilty as an 81 habitual offender to all counts of the indictment, which include felony fleeing, possession of a stolen vehicle, aggravated DUI, felon in possession of a firearm and possession of methamphetamine.

On September 30, 2023, officers attempted to stop a stolen gray 2016 Kia Soul. They said the driver, who was identified as McGlothin, fled at a high rate of speed into the City of Jackson.

During the chase, the Kia sped through multiple intersections, struck a concrete divider, ran a red light and entered the intersection of Highway 80 and Robinson Road. Authorities said the Kia crashed into a vehicle driven by Marcus Singleton, 40, who had to be airlifted to a hospital.

According to Owens, McGlothin attempted to run from the scene before he was arrested. Officers recovered a bag of methamphetamine and a handgun inside the Kia.

McGlothin was sentenced to 25 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC).
