It Started With Loud Music...

Marcine Jackson was denied bond on Friday morning in his first court appearance since his run-in with the law on Wednesday.

According to Mobile County Assistant District Attorney Ashley Rich, Jackson was originally pulled over by Mobile Police for playing music too loudly.

But Rich is quick to point out that the loud music was amplified by the fact that Jackson was wanted for outstanding traffic warrants. "And (he) knew if he got pulled over for any reason, for running a red light or a stop sign, anything that he would be taken into custody. He knew he had outstanding warrants for failing to appear for traffic violations."

Police say before they got to the car, Jackson stepped on the gas and they pursued him down Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.

News 5 drove the same path that officers describe from that day. By our calculation, it was 1.1 miles from the intersection of Lafayette Street and Hogan to just South of Carstens on MLK.

Officer Chris Levy tells us that all chases are investigated internally to make sure they were justified. "What's important to understand here is when an officer is making their decision on whether or not to pursue a suspect, it's based entirely on the actions of the subject."

Police say Jackson veered into oncoming traffic and slammed into a car. Rich says that crash killed 2-year old Alasia Marks, injured her pregnant mother Adrian and a passenger Shontrell Burke.

Burke is out of the hospital but Marks is listed as stable at USA Medical Center. Her unborn child is being monitored and both are expected to be okay.

Police have determined that Alasia was riding in a car seat but are still investigating to find out if she was properly secured in that seat.

Jackson has been charged with murder, attempting to elude police, assault and drug possession. He will be back in court next week.
