"Bad Boy" Horhn arrested for DUI

JPD confirmed to JJ that Senator John Horhn was arrested for a DUI last night.  The arrest took place on Beasley Road shortly before midnight.  The Senator spoke at community meeting last night about Jackson crime.  Of course, who can forget this part-aaay.  JPD was unable to confirm if the Senator demanded someone call Gary Rhodes. 
Update: Can't resist. Here is this email Jeff Good sent out earlier this week:

 Senator John Horhn is an extraordinary public servant.  

From his days running the State Film Commission and parts of the Economic Development Agency for the State of Mississippi under the Mabus administration to his 2007 run for Mayor of the City of Jackson to his 21 years as Senator for District 26, few people know more about Jackson and quality of life than John. I am honored to call him my friend.


Senator Horhn is making a bold statement and making a call to action to openly and honestly discuss the issue of crime in the Capital City.  

"No part of this city has been spared from the recent onslaught of crime in Jackson. Everybody's been affected", states Horhn. "If you have experienced property crime or violent crime in the past 18 months in the Capital City, or if you are concerned about the rise in crime, I am asking you to join me at the State Capitol on the 2nd floor, Old Supreme Court Chamber, Thursday, Nov. 14 at 5:30 PM so that we may hear from you about the nature of the crimes being committed and what you think are some solutions that might be implemented."
Folks, this is the beginning of a four point plan Senator Horhn has formed... but it starts with US... and it starts with SHOWING UP.

Parking is easy... You may park on the grounds of the Capitol... all spots will be open to the public. The meeting will start promptly at 5:30 and conclude at 7 PM. Please come early to get a seat.

Wow, give credit to Jackson for not DISCRIMINATING!!!! Speak evil about the PO-lice and they will get yo ass.
Let's see how he "consults" his way out of this.

He was just doing a little research on crime after attending the community meeting.

Looks like Johnny raised too many pints.

Any video of this one ?

He is not the first and will not be the last State Senator or Legislator to get a DUI. I just hope he is treated like I would be if I were stupid enough to get a DUI.

Look for the 'I exercised poor judgement' speech. Did he insist on calling Gene Magee?

He needed some street CRED for his next "Bad Boyz" birthday bash invitation. Maybe they will put his mugshot on it this year. Kingfish, the mugshot is public, so I expect to see it soon.

The takeaway?

Don't publicly endorse Lumumba's political foes in city elections.

Also...don't drink and drive.

Well, well, well. Now you are begging the question Mr. Kingfish as to whether or not Good's friend and extraordinary public servant was invited to stop by the PIE Lounge after last night's crime confab at the Capitol.

Not that I"m a fan of drinking and driving, but I see an awful lot people posting on here about that particular subject. I, for one, will admit that I have had a glass of firewater too many and driven a vehicle. I"m taking a guess that many of you on here have also. Yes, I know he was at a meeting where he called for civil participation...at least he's trying to do some good here. Let's think about not casting that stone....

Why? it's not a crime.

Did he have to call a bail bondsman?
bet he gets OFF

He is an addict like a lot of Jacksonians and suburbanites. He just needs a judge or a concerned jailer to convince him.

Ask the EMT lady run over earlier this year by a drunk driver. AAA research shows that less of the public considers the hazard a concern as in earlier polls. Hospitals, emergency room docs, EMTs, pastors, insurance underwriters, and funeral directors know the truth.

I avoid getting out after dark and know the hazard is just as great as armed robbery or car theft.

10:11 pm It is sad that you are afraid to get out after dark but that says more about you than the problem of drunk drivers.

Those who have been around alcohol know that not everyone holds their liquor the same. We've all seen people who are "impaired" and shouldn't drive after one drink and I've ridden with some folks who aren't good behind the wheel sober as they can't keep their eyes on the road.

A DUI doesn't mean someone is a " drunk". It doesn't mean someone was necessarily driving recklessly as they could have been pulled simply for speeding which happens to sober drivers as well.

We've become a society of people who over-react to things which have been common in the human experience for centuries and who react with very little information.

Mr. Horhn may have barely tested over the limit which some believe is rather low.

At any rate, I applaud Mr. Hornh for trying to do something about crime and hate that he didn't use better judgment after the meeting.

I don't understand those of you who seem to relish the mistakes of others as though you never err.

We used to believe " there but for the grace of God, go I" and weren't quick to judge " until we walked in someone else's shoes".

And, we knew to regard " gossips", " busybodies" and " troublemakers" with suspicion.

Was always taught to exercise caution around know-it-alls -- such as yourself -- too.

9:02 When's the last time you signed a death certificate for someone who was killed after being hit by a drunk driver? Never, I would wager. Have you ever had to break the news to the family that someone is dead, knowing the drunk who killed him is in another exam room in the same ER?

If you haven't, STFU.

I personally think it was a setup....

Pretty stupid to set up a do nothing Senator.

He had enough time between the meeting and the blue light to rake the yard, smoke ribs and watch CSI. Why associate the meeting with the drinks? He had a few too many and got pulled over. Happens every day. Death certificate or not. There's a punk on every corner in Jacktown waiting to hurt you and steal your shit. And you're pontificating about auto traffic?

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.

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.
