Harrison County sheriff’s deputies have arrested a Stone County man after finding him asleep in a stolen car parked at a Saucier business.

Russell Howard Jennings, 25, of Perkinston, was arrested early Tuesday morning after deputies noticed a 2011 Honda Accord at Saucier Cycle Supply and it matched a car reported stolen from Copiah County.

Sheriff Melvin Brisolara said Jennings was listed as a fugitive on a charge of auto theft in Copiah County.

Jail officials couldn’t provide the name of a defense attorney to comment on the charges.
