JACKSON, Miss. — The Mississippi Department of Public Safety joined in on the viral TikTok foot pursuit challenge this week with a lighthearted moment between Capitol Police Chief Bo Luckey and a local sixth grader.

The playful encounter featured the student challenging Chief Luckey to a mock foot pursuit, where she sprinted away in good fun — no arrests, and reportedly, no bruised egos. The video aligns with a growing trend online where individuals humorously “flee” from law enforcement officers in staged chases.

The department posted the video on social media, embracing the opportunity to engage with the community and showcase the human side of policing.
