A Mississippi mother decided to turn her two teenage sons in to the police after learning they were being searched for after firing shots at an officer.

A Holly Springs police officer said on Tuesday (April 2) that he attempted to pull over a red Kia Forte driving erratically with no headlights on Interstate 22 towards Memphis.

According to the police, at least two shots were fired from the suspects’ vehicle after a brief pursuit.

“It was dangerous for the officers and any other pedestrians and anyone that was on that interstate at the time. That was a very dangerous situation,” Holly Springs Police Chief Darryl Bowens said.

A Marshall County sheriff’s deputy spotted the vehicle where the suspects ran into the woods, WMC reports.

Following the incident, officers put in an alert with photos of the two men, aged 17 and 18, hoping someone would recognize them.

The person who knew them the most eventually did. It took less than 24 hours for the mother to turn her teenage sons in to the police after seeing them on the news.

“I was like, ‘Are you serious? Oh, hell no.’ I got up, and I asked questions,” the mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, said.

“I don’t play no games with them. If you want to do the crime, you gotta do the time,” she said

She added: “I don’t play no games with them. If you want to do the crime, you gotta do the time— Plain and simple.”

She also described seeing her children associated with a crime as “very shocking.”

“My child does not get in trouble. He don’t bother nobody. They don’t do nothing. All they do is play games. This is very new. This is very shocking.”

Her sons reportedly insisted that they were innocent.

Both of them have been charged with aggravated assault on a police officer. Their names were not released by the Holly Springs Police Department.

Furthermore, an additional person of interest in the case has reportedly been questioned but not charged.

People congratulated the mother for her integrity

Now that's what a real parent does. None of this "but he's such a good boy!" garbage. Good boys don't shoot at Anyone, let alone the cops.

Who knows why they've fallen onto the wrong path suddenly but with a mother like that I like to think there's hope for them. She's clearly making sure they know that actions have consequences.
