Speaking of busted....

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following press release:


Rankin County Drug Interdiction Task Force Deputy Seizes 20 Pounds of Methamphetamine on Interstate 20

On Thursday, January 19, 2017, at approximately 9:44 p.m. Rankin County Interstate Interdiction Task Force Deputy John Johnson (Pearl Police Department) made a traffic stop on a silver Nissan Altima on Interstate 20 near Pelahatchie. During the traffic stop the deputy noticed a smell of marijuana coming from inside the passenger area of the vehicle. A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed a suitcase containing approximately 20 pounds of Methamphetamine which was located in the trunk of the vehicle. While deputies were placing the driver, Giovanni RAMOS, and passenger, Linda HERNANDEZ, into custody, RAMOS fled from deputies attempting to re-enter the driver’s side of the vehicle but was stopped and taken into custody. A handgun was recovered from inside the driver’s area of the vehicle. Both RAMOS and HERNANDEZ were arrested and transported to the Rankin County Jail and charged with Aggravated Trafficking of Methamphetamine. District Attorney Michael Guest will bring the pair before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel for an initial appearance. No Bond has been set at this time. The street value of the methamphetamine ice is approximately $260,000.

Though I can proudly say that I have never smelled methamphetamine, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't smell like marijuana. I'm more than happy to get these traffickers off the street,but I really wish the cops would be a little more faithful to the Fourth Amendment and come up with something other than a bullshit excuse to search the vehicle.

If you are Hispanic and/or have Texas plates, you will be stopped in Rankin county.

This is all a big misunderstanding. He was not attempting to flee or to get his gun. Young Giovanni was just wanting to show the nice deputy how to pen the door. The gun obviously belonged to somebody else. They were travelling in a friend's car to get cigarettes. The marijuana smell was from the new upholstery in the vehicle.

Judge McDaniel will release them and reduce any charges to improper equipment. They will pay a small fine, have the charges expunged, and sue the county for wrongful arrest.

In a side note, Obama will be elected to a third term.

It was that new "marijuana scented" methamphetamines.

Officers know that smells can't be recorded by cellphones, so this is their go-to move to gin up some probable cause or articulable suspicion. Because I don't see where anybody was charged with possession of marijuana, I suppose that means one of two things. Either there was no marijuana, or it got pocketed by the good guys for later use when enforcing laws against the bad guys. Maybe, just maybe if you drive a nice Hummer down I-20 you can convince them to search for that bud in your back seat.

I always trust the good men and women of law enforcement and their olfactories!

Color me utterly shocked by the comments in this thread. I assumed to read, "Great job, guys! Keep up the good work. We love cops!, etc.". Instead, y'all nailed the obvious BS in the release. So the Cartel hires/threatens folks to mule for them 20 pounds of Ice, and they decide to smoke some MJ while doing it. To the point there isn't even residue or paraphernalia, which Rankin LEO's can always find if they can't find actual drugs. Not that it will matter in Rankin County.

You complainers are the same people who protest by tearing up other people's shit while hollering 'The End Justifies The Means'. These two are off the street. Shut the hell up.

No, 6:48, actually I don't tear up other people's shit. I think there are two problems with this situation. First, they ARE off the street. This means I get to work an extra hour in my day to pay for their housing, legal, medical and other expenses. I only have 24 hours in a day, and I'm already working 20 just to pay my current taxes. Secondly, this did nothing to dent the market. The pushers will find somebody else to mule for a free ride to America. The users will find their supply regardless. And the seizure of the miniscule amount doesn't even cause the unit price of the product to go up by even one penny.

In exchange for this transaction, I get an increased chance that MY nice car, the one that I worked for, will be "shopped" right out of my hands. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, then let me know and I'll take the time to find those articles and post them). The success in this case emboldens those who would erode our Constitutional guarantees to continue using this method. I know, I know . . . if I don't have anything to hide then I shouldn't worry that "say" they smell marijuana. Let's set aside the idea of planting. In my opinion, even minor inconvenience is too much of a burden when my Constitutional rights have been taken.

I know the retort: those are speculative and remote burdens on your Constitutional rights. Even IF that's true, then it boils down to two people getting free room and board that is probably more luxurious than what they had before, and society gets no appreciable difference in the number of people with drug problems. Win-win, right? But I gotta get my baseball bat and mask now so I can go "tear[] up other people's shit" now. I'll turn the conversation back over to the adults. Maybe if I got into the business building prisons I wouldn't have to work so much . . . . Hmmm.

I am all for getting drugs off the streets and locking up criminals. I am not for law enforcement making up a reason for searching a car. I live in Florence and have see how cops can make up a reason for stopping certain cars. If a law enforcement officer can not do his job by the laws we have they should not be in law enforcement.

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.
