CAUGHT!!!

The burglar who has been hitting businesses throughout Madison County is now in custody.  Darrah Williams is currently in custody at the Madison County Detention Center.  He is charged with burglary for the Ridgeland crimes.  He is expected to be charged with burglaries in Madison as well.  His mugshot is posted below. He is very well known to MDOC and law enforcement. 




WLBT reported on Williams' life of crime 11 years ago.  Sound familiar?

Vicksburg police believe they've nabbed the burglar who has struck more than thirty times in the last month. The man in custody is no stranger to the wrong side of the law. In fact, he was just released after spending a decade in prison for a string of burglaries he was convicted of in the nineties.

Vicksburg police have arrested 38-year-old Darrah Williams in connection with 37 business burglaries that occurred in the river city in January. Investigators say even after a decade at Parchman it was his criminal past - that he never let go - that caught up to him.

"Mr. Williams was sent up in ‘95 for 13 business burglaries of a similar MO. What we done is immediately drawn any of the burglary suspects that we knew of that had a similar MO and started looking at them. That’s how we first developed him as a suspect," said Captain Mark Culbertson of the Vicksburg Police Department.

Williams is suspected of kicking in doors and breaking windows at 37 Vicksburg businesses, taking money and electronics, anything he could get his hands on.

"He's headed back up the road, and hopefully they'll keep him for a long time," expressed Restaurant owner Charles Toney.

Charles Toney, whose restaurant was broken into Monday night, says the arrest will give his staff a better sense of safety.

"He's off the street. We feel a little more secure, and crime doesn't pay. Eventually you're gonna get caught," he said.

The same was true around the corner at Patients Choice Hospice, which was burglarized twice in one month.

Manager Kim Carr says, "This has been very frustrating for all of us in the business community. You know, we do hospice, which means our nursing staff comes in and out of the office all day through the night taking care of patients in the community, so it's been a source of anxiety for the knowing this kind of thing was happening in our building."

Darrah Williams will make his initial appearance in Vicksburg court Monday. Because he is a convicted felon, bond will be denied and he will immediately be sent back to prison. Vicksburg police say they're tracking another business burglar still on the loose. Investigators say they have a possible suspect and are following up on several leads at this time.

However, Williams did not learn anything as he was arrested in Vicksburg a few years ago yet managed to get out of prison on parole.  Click on images to enlarge.



Kingfish note: What does one have to do to keep this guy in prison? Check out the rap sheet that was provided by MDOC. His convictions include:

  • 8/14/86 sentenced to 24 months’ probation in Hinds County for nonresidential burglary
  • 3/12/1987 sentenced to serve 2 years in Hinds County for nonresidential burglary (same charge from 1986)
  • 8/7/89 sentenced for three burglary convictions, with seven years each for two convictions and six years on the third conviction, all from Warren County. He had a total of 20 years to serve.
  • He was twice paroled and returned  before being sentenced again on  6/7/1996  for two nonresidential burglary convictions in Warren County, for which he received one 5-year term and one 4-year term.
He then has 29 years to serve. He was released on ERS 7/28/05 and then returned on 2/1/06

  • 8/21//07  sentenced for four nonresidential burglary convictions and one attempt in Warren County. He received seven years to serve for each conviction and five years on the attempt with some terms concurrent.
  • 1/13/12 sentenced for two burglaries in Jackson County for which he received  four years to serve and five years’ probation on each.

He's a "non-violent criminal". "Just property crimes". He'll keep getting out. He's a professional, focused on safe yet lucrative targets -- businesses that are closed.

No (armed?) homeowner to contend with.
No (armed?) business owner or employee, either.

No, it's just him, and assets for the taking, and maybe even some cash. Plenty of time to get it and get gone before anyone shows up, even if there is an alarm.

It's worked for him for years, and will work for him again in the future. Maybe one day he'll make a fatal error in target selection... but more likely, his other poor lifestyle choices will be what finally stops him.

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.
