On July 29, 2016, at approximately 11:00 pm, a CPD Narcotics Detective made a traffic stop on a black Cadillac CTS being driven by Kellen Gulley. When the detective smelled the odor of Marijuana emanating from within Gulley's vehicle, a search ensued.
After being instructed to remain at the rear of his vehicle, Gulley attempted to approach the detective during the search of the vehicle and was subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct - disobeying a lawful order.
During an inventory of Gulley's vehicle, the detective recovered various illegal drugs packaged for sales along with weight scales, a semi-automatic handgun, and suspected drug money.
Based on prior encounters and the evidence found to be in Gulley's possession, the detective obtained a search warrant for Gulley's residence at 111 Cardinal Lane in Clinton, Mississippi. The search of Gulley's residence yielded additional illegal drugs, paraphernalia, and suspected drug money concealed in a bedroom.
Gulley is facing new charges; felony possession of a schedule II controlled substance with intent to distribute while in possession of a firearm, felony possession of Marijuana with intent to distribute while in possession of a firearm, misdemeanor possession of a schedule V controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia, disorderly conduct-disobeying a lawful order, and careless driving. Bond was set at $25,000 on the felony charges and $1,700 on the misdemeanor charges. Gulley made bond Sunday, July 31.
Kellen Gulley is no stranger to the Clinton Police Department's Narcotics unit. Gulley was currently out on bond from the county jail on charges related to aggravated assault, shooting into an occupied dwelling, felony possession of a Marijuana with the intent to distribute while in possession of a firearm, felony possession of a schedule V controlled substance while in possession of a firearm, misdemeanor possession of a schedule II controlled substance, and possession of paraphernalia.
On January 25, 2016, Kellen Gulley was arrested in relation to a shooting incident that occurred at his residence located at 111 Cardinal Lane in Clinton, Mississippi. The January shooting stemmed from a "drug deal gone bad" where Gulley was believed to have opened fire, hitting a subject who was attempting to rob Gulley for illegal drugs. The January search of Gulley's residence yielded large amounts of various illegal drugs, a semi-automatic assault rifle, a semi-automatic handgun, paraphernalia, and suspected drug money.
The Clinton Police Narcotics Unit is continuing the investigation in an effort to divulge any and all conspirators and/or users who had been buying illegal drugs from Gulley. Clinton Police are taking a zero tolerance approach to illegal drug use in our city.

Time to legalize it already. Otherwise you are just letting criminal elements like this run the market and terrorize communities.
Why was this creature not held on no bond? What judge granted this ridiculously low bond? Is Ivon involved?
That's right. If we would just legalize weed all the drug related crime problems will magically go away.
Arrest the dad....you know the one that got suspended from attending soccer games for rushing the field and chest bumping a ref? This has been brewing a long time.
@3:09. Hell of a good idea. Let's legalize everything - then we won't need jails. It would completely eliminate criminal elements like this because nothing would be criminal.
Only thing is - they would still terrorize communities.
This is very sad, an example of a kid with so much promise who somehow went off the rails, and has now decided that being a low level drug dealer is the only way to make a buck to pay for a $50,000 car.
@3:26 You are more correct than you probably realize or intended. See history of alcohol prohibition...
This idiot commits a dozen new crimes while on bail for previous crimes, including shooting at someone. And gets another low bail.
And you guys say Jackson is the problem?
@5:11 You are more myopic than you probably realize and/or have the ability to fathom.
Justice system is the #1 problem. Not the only problem, but #1.
Colorado did it and it's actually working rather well. Who is myopic now? We don't have to guess at the results any longer.
8:37 - Are you unaware of Colorado's escalation in the incidence of traffic accidents and crime in the wake of MJ legalization?
Attn 6:27 I am unaware of the escalation of accidents in Colorado after weed approval. Please elaborate and provide a means of verification of your statement.
People are only aware of what they want to see in the Colorado mess. Neither side looks at the whole picture. Much like anything else. If they do not admit knowing it they think other people should do the same.
"Attn 6:27 I am unaware of the escalation of accidents in Colorado after weed approval. Please elaborate and provide a means of verification of your statement."
Google is your friend, lazy boy.
You say it's a mess, which is absurd. Go to Colorado and see for yourself. It's a perfectly happy place, welcoming of the booming new industry. Even the governor agrees. And there is no sign of the Apocalypse out there, feels quite safe and normal in fact. Since we've tried the drug war for years with nothing good to show, this approach makes much more sense for the overall good. And it's working.
@10:43 the majority of Colorado outside of the urban areas like Denver and most of the resort towns despise the legislation and what all it has brought in. The liberal media doesn't report on that side so it will paint a prettier picture, but the most everyone outside of isolated areas full of pot heads hate it. This is coming from someone who is real familiar with Colorado.
A perfectly happy place, only if a person thinks increased crime, more children harmed, increased number of car accidents, makes for a happy place. I can understand it from a druggies view just not from the view of a person who does not need a crutch to handle life.
Anyone have a link to pictures of the PARENTS? I'm curious...
I suspect all these old farts who support prohibition really just have a dislike of hippies/alt-culture more so than real concern about kids and traffic.... all while not giving two shits about deadly alcohol.
2:59, Maybe all of the old farts just have a thing about obeying the laws. Is that something the drug culture has ever given a thought about?
