The Park at Moss Creek Apartments have apparently suffered from a crime problem during the past few years. A man was arrested for kidnapping, rape, and armed robbery in several attacks at the Northeast Jackson apartment complex. However, a lawsuit was filed a year ago by a woman who was carjacked there as well in 2013. She claimed the owners of the complex, Arlington Properties, did not keep the The Park safe after it was repeatedly notified by tenants about crime problems.
Amandia Byrd lived at The Park at Moss Creek for five years. She came home on the evening of February 15, 2013. The gate was open and not working. Two men were "loitering" in the parking lot. They carjacked her at gunpoint and left in her car. Ms. Byrd claims that she and other residents complained to the management that the lights were not working, strangers were hanging around in the parking lot, and the gate was broken and stayed open. She states the managers promised to fix things and get a security guard but did not keep their promises. Her affidavit claims that the manager promised to "sweep" the premises around 7:00 PM each night and arrange for someone to escort her to her apartment if she did not feel safe.
Ms. Byrd sued Arlington Properties in May 2015. Arlington removed the suit to federal court. The case was assigned to Judge Henry Wingate and referred to Magistrate Linda Anderson. Ms. Byrd filed a motion to remand the case back to Hinds County Circuit Court. The Court stayed discovery. The two sides are currently sparring over the issue of remanding the case back to state court but nothing has been filed since July 2015. Attorney Ashley Ogden represents the plaintiff while Jimmy Willkins (Watkins Eager) represents the defendants.
Kingfish note: It is not known if the victim was interviewed by Jerry Mitchell. Oh, and yes, there are other lawsuits against this bunch. They are all getting posted. One.by.one.

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.

Case has no business in federal court.
Will be remanded
"Two men were loitering in the parking lot."
Seems to be a recurring theme over the decades.
And any other judge would have immediately remanded it but it got stuck in Wingate's black hole.
Funny that Ashley has to argue there is an atmosphere of violence basically in his own back yard.
I knew Ashley filed this before I even looked at the final page of the complaint. He considers himself a premises liability guru and files these kinds of claims basically every time something like this happens.
He did such a great job in the Kroger case.
No direct knowledge of any incidents at this apartment complex, but anyone have any real stats (not JPD washed ones) on the slew of car theft, car jackings and other stuff happening in and around Maywood Mart and Highland Village?
2:56:
"Wingate's black hole..." heh heh..

Beavis
'People loitering in apartment complex parking lots in the city of Jackson'.
They're also shootin' dice, publicly intoxicated, tokin' weed and taking leaks in public.
If this shit were actionable...well, it ain't.
Actually if the Park is run by an out of state company it has every business being in a federal court. Ogden is clearly suing in-state defendants, more than likely the property manager, for the purpose of defeating diversity and getting it back to Hinds County. May work, it may not, but I guarantee you that is the goal.
@7:13 I laughed for about 2 minutes at your comment. A good chuckle is always a plus, good for your health
2:26 -
Google "diversity jurisdiction." History, knowledge of law, context...they're your friends.
If this shit were actionable...well, it ain't.
That would be news to Shane Langston, Roe Frazer and Dennis Sweet.
They made MILLIONS on "premises liability" (failure to provide adequate security)
Probably tens of millions. I think it's a lame theory of recovery, and it's a tort that essentially evolved out of nothing.
But I assure you, it's very actionable in the state of Mississippi.
3:52; Residents of the facility lounging around in their own parking lot is not actionable. Such things as unrestricted traffic night and day, lack of security lighting, inoperable door locks, windows that won't latch, light bulbs that have not been replaced in years, boys from other hoods being allowed to congregate at all hours...........yes.
1:47 --
When Wingate remands without comment in another 6 months or so, do you think the Defendants will consider this suit in-actionable?
