Attorney claims Black Diamonds' owners are threatening and harassing him.

It appears Chris Epps' recent behavior inspired someone to imitate him over at the Black Diamonds "gentlemen's club" a few days ago.  The club was seized and shut down with the dreaded red sign and yellow tape in October after the owners failed to pay a judgement.  The plaintiff's attorney, Ben Wilson, told the court that the defendants had gone gangsta as he and his family were harassed, threatened, and followed since the club was closed. 


Ms. Harris filed a motion for contempt and sanctions against Black Diamonds and Daniel Owens yesterday in Hinds County Court.  She sued the strip club and its owner for assault and battery after an incident took place in 2014.  The court awarded $61,000 to Ms. Harris in March.  The judgement was not paid so the plaintiff obtained a writ of execution that allowed the Sheriff to seize Black Diamonds.  Hinds County deputies locked the doors and placed a big red sign on the door that said no one could enter the strip club without the permission of the Sheriff.

Someone was apparently colorblind and thought red meant green because the motion states that the red notice and tape were removed without the Sheriff's permission.  The motion included these photos that were taken Sunday:




The motion states:

The red Notice and tape on the doors have been removed by the Defendants without permission or consent from the Sheriff’s Department or counsel for the Plaintiff. (See Photographs of Black Diamonds taken on November 13, 2016, and attached as Exhibit 2). The attached photographs show that individual(s) associated with Black Diamonds have disregarded the seizure of the property, removed the Notice, entered the business, and likely removed items, goods, cash, or other valuables that may or could have satisfied the Plaintiff’s Judgment in whole or in part. Upon information and belief, the black Chevrolet truck parked in the rear of the business on November 13, 2016 is owned by Daniel Owens, Daniel “Danny” Owens, and/or Blake Owens.

The inspiration of Chris Epps


The deputies re-secured the premises for Ms. Harris:




 However, Ms. Harris's attorney, Ben Wilson, claims that the Owens family have been trying to intimidate him.  Mr. Wilson charges:

Further, upon information and belief, Daniel Owens, Daniel “Danny” McGee Owens, and/or Blake Owens are responsible for numerous threats, intimidation tactics, and harassment suffered by Undersigned Counsel, his family, and another lawyer and his small children. There have been unidentifiable and suspicious vehicles driving by Undersigned Counsel’s home and office, which have also been seen following Undersigned Counsel and his wife, as well as seen sitting outside Undersigned Counsel’s office. Further, Undersigned Counsel has received several threatening phone calls from unidentified persons and others associated with the Owens family and/or Black Diamonds demanding that Black Diamonds be reopened. This conduct should not be condoned. (See Affidavit of Benjamin H. Wilson, attached as Exhibit 3).
Mr. Wilson spells out his allegations in the affidavit:


 3. Following  the attempted  collection on the Judgment  against Black Diamonds  I have received  threatening  telephone calls from  unknown individuals  regarding the seizure of  Black  Diamonds  nightclub ;

4. I have also received phone calls from former and possibly current employees of Black Diamonds stating the seizure of Black Diamonds had angered Daniel Owens, Blake Owens, and/or Daniel "Danny" McGee Owens. It is my belief and opinion these phone calls were intended to threaten and/or intimidate me.

5. Upon information and belief, I believe that one or more unknown individual(s) associated  with  Black  Diamonds Nightclub have followed me in a vehicle and have driven by my home. It is my belief and opinion that this is intended to threaten and/or intimidate me.

6. On or about November 1, 2016, my wife advised me that she believed someone was following her in her vehicle and that  the individual had driven by our home.  It is my belief and opinion that this is intended to threaten and /or intimidate me.

7. On or about November 2, 2016, Lee Gladden, Esq., the owner of the  office building  where  my office  is located,  called Madison  Police Department  because  a suspicious  vehicle was  parked  with its lights on facing our  office at  or around  6:30 p.m. The vehicle had never been seen before. Mr. Gladden 's children were at our office that afternoon. This incident occurred at or arow1d the same time that I had received the threatening phone calls.

8. Upon information and belief, it is my belief and opinion that these phone calls, suspicious vehicles following me and driving by my home and office is related to the seizure of Black Diamonds Night Club.

Mr. Wilson and his client asked the court to impose a fine or imprison the defendants as well as a motion for Rule 11 sanctions against the defendant's lawyer.

There is also an interesting question as to who owns the club.  The Secretary of State's office states that a Black Diamonds of Jackson, LLC was formed on March 1, 2016 and the owner is Daniel McGee Owens. It states Daniel Daxon Owens is the registered agent for the company.   However, a notice was filed on September 8 that stated "Dax" Owens was resigning his position as registered agent.  But wait!  A Diamonds Black of Jackson, LLC was registered on the same date that stated Danny McGee Owens was the registered agent and member of the LLC. It is interesting in that an LLC was not formed to operate the club until after the judgement was awarded.  The property at 210 Parcel is owned by Danny McGee Owens.

It should also be noted that Danny McGee Owens was released from custody in February after serving 21 years in federal prison. Dax and Blake are his sons.  Who's on first?

So this is the same Danny Owens that ran an adult entertainment empire in Memphis? Interesting fellow.

Red Hearts said...

I can't follow the insinuation that this has anything to do with Chris Epps; however, the rotund black booty (see definition of steatopygia) featured on the I-220 billboard should be insulting to all residents of Jackson, not to mention to the administration of the City Government.

Nobody wants to see that, especially children. Well, except deviants.

Of course it is. The same gent who has run a criminal empire in Tennessee for almost half a century and has owned every Puss-Show in Jackson.

The reference to Epps is straightforward. You can't go around breaking in to property that has been seized.

I don't know why it is necessary to spell out everything for you. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Gene and Paul, y'all said...

So, I guess the dancers are out on the street for a living...

...they got you under their thumb.

This really bring up the most critical question.
Looking in my wallet at the dollar bills & wondering which one have been in the crack of the stripper ass?

Johnny, use the smell test if you are really concerned.

Friend of Bill said...

This closure is going to mess me up for Thanksgiving Friday and Saturday nights.

Grease Dat Pole.. said...

So, is it being suggested that Epps is now a dancer at Duh Diamonz? Luv me some chunky trannies.

roll with dogs, arise with fleas...
most attorneys realize what kind of people they are taking on and knowingly assume some risk. it sounds like this attorney didn't know what he was suing...

The Owens Family has ties to the Dixie Mafia....yep they are still around. Kirksey McCord Nix and Danny Owens were well know in the '70's and '80's for their activities. Nix was the trigger man in the death of Paula Pusser , Buford's wife and had a large hand in judge vincent sherry and his wife's murder in 1987. This is where the FBI needs to step in. The locals can't fathom the depths these people are willing to go. Hell, rhey were even tied in with Barry Seals who ran an operation out of Arkansas.

2:01 is right on all points. The smell of poon-tang is some powerful shit!

The word on the street is Mr. Owens took management away from Dax recently after Owens the Younger ran it into the ground.

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.
