U.S. Attorney Greg Davis issued the following press release yesterday:
Former JPD Officer Sentenced to 27 Months in Prison
Jackson, Miss – Bryan Jones, 45, of Jackson, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dan Jordan to 27 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release for extortion by use of his position as a police officer, announced U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis and FBI Special Agent in Charge Donald Alway.
While working as a JPD officer, Jones violated the Hobbs Act by taking cash during a stop from undercover FBI agents and never recording or placing the money in Jackson Police Department evidence. At the time of the stop, Jones was carrying his service pistol holstered on his belt and driving his patrol car.
A confidential source called Jones in order to provide him with the location where he would find who Jones thought was a drug dealer but was really an undercover agent. Jones, acting in his capacity as a police officer, conducted illegal searches and seized $4,000 and $5,000, respectively. He later split the money with the confidential source and never recorded the money or turned it over to the Jackson Police Department.
This case was investigated by the FBI and the Jackson Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mary Helen Wall and Erin Chalk.

Good!!!!!!!!
Anyone who aids any distribution and sale of drugs should be in prison for even more than this. Drugs kill the user, those around the user, and innocents on the road or caught by the crossfire. Our society would be so much better without them. Vote Trump -- he at least want to try to curtail the traffic. Unleash the Border Patrol and ICE and new people prosecuting and sitting on the benches that are Conservative. Return to the Constitution and Honor and see what a fine place we can be again.
Vote Trump? Are you just ignorant or are you a racist bigot predatory misogynist too? Why don't we try this: Legalize drugs. Tax them and regulate them, it doesn't create additional addicts and crime goes down when addicts can get their supply legally. So do overdoses and blood borne diseases. The war on drugs is still a "thing" despite massive failure only because private prison companies, crooked rehabs, and shady drug testing businesses are making billions - but still haven't made a dent in the problem - it's getting worse.
11:23 has been smoking too much of the illegal stuff. His facts are a smoke dream. Nothing real about what was posted. Must have just finished a bowl of his personal stash before he started posting.
