Habitual burglar has 25 years to kick the habit.

Rankin-Madison District Attorney Michael Guest issued the following press release:

Habitual Offender House Burglar Receives 25 Year Prison Sentence

Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Michael Guest announced today that Derome M. Cavitt was sentenced to serve 25 years for house burglary after being found guilty by a jury. Cavitt was sentenced as a habitual offender. He will have to serve his sentence day-for-day without the possibility of probation, parole or early release.
On February 11, 2013, the Flowood Police Department was dispatched to an apartment complex where the occupants of the apartment had arrived to find their apartment burglarized. The officers noted that the suspect had gained entry into the apartment through a front window of the upstairs unit. The unidentified suspect then stole items ranging from cash to sunglasses to a television and video games.

Investigators processed the crime scene and were able to lift a latent print from the window seal. They then submitted the print to the Mississippi Crime Lab to be processed. The finger print was run through an automated fingerprint system that contains the prints of previously convicted criminals, and Cavitt’s print was identified as matching the prints taken from the window of the residence.

The Flowood Police Department was then able to determine that Cavitt was currently on probation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Cavitt also had active warrants for his arrest from Hinds County and the Vicksburg Police Department. Officers were able to obtain two addresses for Cavitt but were not able to locate him at either address. The U.S. Marshall’s Service was then notified and they were able to arrest Cavitt the following day.

Cavitt was interviewed following his arrest and he admitted to being at the apartment complex to visit his sister but he denied breaking into the apartment.

Guest stated, “Home burglary is one of the most intrusive crimes we prosecute because it takes away our sense of privacy and safety. I am glad that the jury after hearing all the evidence returned a verdict that will prevent him violating the safety of others. ”

Guest added, “Cavitt is truly a career criminal who was on probation at the time that he committed this burglary. He is a habitual offender who had three prior felony convictions and two warrants for his arrest at the time he was arrested in this case. Cavitt will finally have to pay the consequences for life of crime.”

Guest concluded, “The Flowood Police Department did an outstanding job in this case. The fingerprints recovered in this case allowed us to solve a case that otherwise Cavitt would have been able to get away with. I also want to thank the United States Marshall Service for their help in apprehend this dangerous individual.”

Cavitt has been previously convicted in 2003 in Hinds County of Strong Arm Robbery. He has been convicted in 2006 in Madison County of Possession of Cocaine. And finally, he has been convicted in 2011, in Hinds County of Possession of Cocaine.

District Attorney Michael Guest was sworn into office in January 2008 and represents the Twentieth Judicial District, Madison and Rankin Counties. For more information regarding the District Attorney’s office, please visit www.daguest.com

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.
