An armed-robbery arrest with no bond is an accusation. It is not a conviction. Byram police say a marketplace deal escalated and a firearm was discharged. Who fired, and whether anyone was hit, was not in the department's public account.
WLBT reported that the Byram Police Department identified Sims as the suspect in a robbery that investigators say began as an apparent fraudulent transaction arranged through Facebook Marketplace, then became an armed robbery. A firearm was discharged, police said. WJTV reported the arrest date as Oct. 9 and placed the incident at the QuikTrip. He was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and wire fraud.
WLBT reported that investigators took him into custody Friday and took him to the Raymond Detention Center, where he is being held without bond pending an initial appearance. The department said the investigation is ongoing. A hold without bond is a custody decision. It does not establish who arranged the listing or what the wire-fraud count is built on.
