During the confrontation, Banks brandished a handgun and threatened the family, prompting the mother to call the police. <\/p>\n<p>When officers arrived, a foot chase ensued after Banks attempted to flee.

The night before this alarming event, a Jacksonville mother found out that her 13-year-old daughter was inappropriately texting with 18-year-old Cerry Banks. To confront him, she pretended to be her daughter and arranged to meet at a local Popeyes restaurant. The following day, she took her daughter and 11-year-old son to the restaurant where she confronted Banks. During the encounter, he threatened them while brandishing a gun and warned that they would hear shots later that night. The mother fled inside with her children and called the police. After some time, Banks was found hiding but attempted to flee when confronted by officers; during the chase, he pulled out his gun which led to an officer firing multiple shots at him. He sustained multiple injuries from being shot before being apprehended and charged with several offenses including aggravated assault and lewd conduct; his bond was set at $700,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2430418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Popeyes.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[50403,4901,17459,8390,27697],"class_list":["post-2430417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-crime-2","tag-justice","tag-parenting","tag-safety","tag-sexting"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Popeyes.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2430417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2430417"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2430417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2430421,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2430417\/revisions\/2430421"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2430418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2430417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2430417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2430417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
