Another Chris Epps special

Remember the Coates family? Daughter is already out on house arrest.



Didn't even serve one year in jail before MDOC turned her loose, oops, I meant placed her on house arrest. You may remember the Coates family.  The father was David Coates, football coach at Northwest Rankin High School.  Joseph Patrick Coates is her brother and serving 44 years for drug dealing.  The father died of a heart attack before he went to trial. Background story. Check out the public section of her Facebook page. Most of the pictures were taken after her status change.

Don't remember the Coates family. What did they do, sell meth? Maybe you could post a link.

The link is in the story.

You have to use a JFP link to get this story?

There is no story, David is dead and Patrick has helped the myth of Mike Guest.

I had to Lysol my computer.

Well, since Daddy's dead, I bet there's a low chance of a repeat offense from her.

It's a drug crime. Stated differently, perhaps her absence from incarceration frees up space for a real criminal.

May she make the best of a new start.

Umm, Daddy came in secondary to the son and daughter. And she doesn't look under house arrest outside having a good time.

Does the MDOC have the authority on its own to alter a criminal's sentence? Isn't there some requirement that the Parole Board, or a judge alter the execution of the sentence? Does anyone know?

I don't know, bill. Why don't you go ask a real journalist

I'm a real prosecutor. There are two types of "house arrest", otherwise known as "intensive supervision". Both feature the offender being placed in a qualified home [no drugs, no alcohol, etc] and has an electronic bracelet placed on their body. If they leave the premises, the bracelet notifies MDOC that the offender as violated. It can be programmed to allow the offender to go to work, school, and church. Back to the two versions: first is that imposed by a Judge as part of the sentence; second is called "administrative house arrest" and is done "administratively" by MDOC. This second program is widely condemned by Judges and the DAs. To no avail...

I'm sure she's "fee" on administrative house arrest.

KF, if I could edit your comment, I would add "And that's the way it is" to add a proper closing to this reporter's coverage.

3:23; I'm sure you don't have an administrative aide to proofread your posts before you click 'enter', but at least give them a quick scan.

12:27pm...There wasn't a link when I posted my comment. That's why I asked for one. Thanks for posting the bloody obvious after the fact. You must be a JFPer.

Good for her. I hope she lives a happy and blessed life. People are quick to judge a person based on their past. I think its a blessing that she got out, and is starting her life over. Good for her. As for her brother, I hope he makes the best of a bad situation that he placed himself in. It's easy for everyone to point fingers, but I am happy for her and hope she lives a great life with her new husband to be. As for her fathers death, that is an unfortunate event, but only God knows when our last day will be and it is up to us to be ready. This family is in my prayers.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
