JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - The man who slammed his car into a Jackson business Saturday evening is behind bars, accused of being a danger to the public.

J.P.D. spokesman Officer Joseph Daughtry said 29-year-old Jason Johnson of Jackson crashed into the AutoZone at Ellis Avenue and Highway 80.

Johnson suffered a seizure and plowed into the front of the building.

Police said he has over a dozen arrest warrants, and his license was suspended because of medical reasons.

Johnson was arrested after being treated at a local hospital.

Authorities said he should not be driving and poses a danger to others.
