Carjacker can um, jack away for 35 years.

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




Jackson Man Receives 35-Year Sentence for Armed Carjacking

            Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Michael Guest announced today that Xavier Laquon Anderson was sentenced to 35 years after pleading guilty to armed carjacking.  The last eight years of the sentence will be suspended and Anderson will be placed on five years of supervised probation following his release from custody.

            On January 6, 2014, the Ridgeland Police Department received a 911 call regarding an armed carjacking.  The car was in a parking lot off of Lake Harbour Drive when a man approached the victim in the car and put a gun to her head and told her to get out of the car.  She did as he instructed and the car fled the scene with another car following closely behind. 

Police learned the stolen car was equipped with a GPS tracking device and they attempted to locate the vehicle using the GPS system.  The Ridgeland Police Department contacted the GPS company and they were able to pinpoint that the stolen car was located in Jackson on Rebel Wood Drive.  Law enforcement went to the scene and found the car in the parking lot of Rebel Wood Apartments. 

            Police had the vehicle towed to the Ridgeland Police Department where it was processed for evidence.  Investigators were able to lift fingerprints that were submitted to the Mississippi State Crime Laboratory.  The prints were run through an automated fingerprint system that matched the prints to those previously on file for Xavier Laquon Anderson.  Anderson’s prints were in the system because he had previously been arrested and was out of bond for a 2013 carjacking in Hinds County.

            Law enforcement obtained a warrant for Anderson’s arrest and he was apprehended by members of the Jackson Police Department.  Anderson was transported to the Ridgeland Police Department where he confessed to the taking the car at gunpoint.

            Guest stated, “We have said time and time again that we are not going to allow criminals from Jackson to come into Madison County to commit crimes.  Our communities are safe because of the hard work of the men and women of law enforcement who strive to serve and protect.  Those efforts, along with strong sentences being handed down after convictions, will continue to keep criminals off the streets of Madison County.”

            Guest stated, “Anderson is a violent criminal who was out on bond for armed carjacking in Jackson at the time of his arrest.  The citizens of Hinds and Madison Counties can rest easier knowing that Anderson will spend the next 27 years of his life behind bars.”

            Guest concluded, “The Ridgeland Police Department did an outstanding job of solving this case.  They combined the use of technology along with old fashion police work to locate the stolen vehicle and develop a suspect.  They should be congratulated for taking another violent offender off our streets.”

            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.

Name:                          Xavier Laquon Anderson

When I was carjacked in Jackson back in the early 1990's, my vehicle was eventually found in West Jackson at some apartments. I do not believe the Jackson Police attempted to lift fingerprints, but maybe the technology has gotten better for matching prints since then. In any case, congratulations to the Ridgeland Police Department for lifting the prints and solving the case. That will be of great comfort to the victim most especially, as will be DA Guest's conviction for a term longer than the dangerous creep has been on this earth. I always wished the JPD had solved my case.

12:41 again. When I did get my car back from the JPD after my carjacking, to add insult to injury, they charged me a hefty fee to get it out of their impound lot even though I was the victim.

Congrats to Guest and others for their success! I hope this sends another loud message to the thugs in Jackson that this isn't tolerated in Madison & Rankin counties. The Jackson City Council, Mayor, and Jackson law enforcement are too busy arguing among themselves to lead the community to successes, such as this one. Keep up the good work Guest!

I like to leave my keys in the car and sit around just to see if some fool will jack it....I got this nice shiney castle law and I want to try it out!!!

Carjacking should be treated like stealing horses. Hang the mother fucker. What good does locking him up do? He probably already has half a dozen illegitimate children, just biting at the bit to follow in daddies foot steps. And then when he gets out, he'll probably have another half dozen more bastard children. ALL LIVING ON MY DAMN DOLLAR,.

No. Kill the mother fuckers. Still sends the message the DA is trying to get across.

So, the people of Madison county get to pay the bill to house and feed this thug fir 28 years or more.

Here's an idea for the next legislative session: when someone is out on bond for a violent crime (Jackson had put him out on bail for a charge of armed carjacking when he got arrested for this one right?), the cost of incarcerating the convict will be borne by the jurisdiction that allowed him out on the street in the first place. In other words, this crime would not have happened in Ridgeland if he had been in the tank in Jackson awaiting his trial there, so let Jackson pay for incarcerating him in Madison County. Why should Ridgeland/Madison County be victimized twice here because of Jackson's negligence?

Bless your heart, 2:28. The cost of housing convicted felons in the penal system is picked up by the state, not the county of conviction. I'm pretty sure that the state also pays the salaries of the DA's offices.

I just found La'Quon's picture. He's only eighteen, and has a real pretty mouth. As soon as they get a nice wig on him, and some purple lipstick (Grape Koolaid & Vaseline, ya know...), he'll look just like Ronnie (of the Ronettes).

A few months of smuggled-in estrogen to grow him some breastiz, and he'll be singin' "Be my baby to whoever pays his pimp enough Camel Lites for some 'alone time' with him." - until he's paroled, or his colon ruptures and he dies of Sepsis... whichever comes first.

Bless your heart 3:10 pretty sure the taxpayers of Madison county are also taxpayers in the State of Mississippi.

5:12, glad you identified Ronnie as 'of the Ronnetts". I thought at first of our former trial lawyer governor. But then I remembered that his interest was in toes. Or in others just happened to be found in the courthouse law libraries.

@ 7:10 PM - I think that Ronnie was turned a long time ago - and it didn't take a prison stint.

Hey, that's almost as much time as you get in Rankin County for selling crack to a crackhead. Or almost as bad a penalty as the one you get for telling someone how to get into a nursuing home. I've always said, if you need money in Rankin County, don't sell drugs -- go rob a store or steal a car.

Guest, and most of you snooty Madison people totally miss the point here. The cities and counties surrounding Jackson are impacted by Jackson. The worse Jackson gets the more spillover will occur. Ridiculous carjacking sentences aren't going to stop the criminals from crossing an arbitrary line to commit crime.

People who moved from Jackson to Madison and then talk about how bad things are in Jackson are the worst. Maybe if you all hadn't fled, Jackson would have a tax base and a chance at betterment.

Everyone in the metro area needs to be working to make Jackson better, safer, etc., instead of hiding in your gated neighborhood in your house that looks identical to your neighbor's.

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.
