About time!!!! I applaud what law enforcement did in this case. The Rev has gotten away with too much over the years. Glad to see the Feds and State work together to put him away. Wish it was for longer, but at least Hattiesburg residents will not have to deal with him for a little while.

Finally got punished. Don't know him personally, and I'm sure he has helped people in his community, but it is clear that he has also "helped" himself. Marcus Dupree's swindling was just the first that came out.

Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

I wish him the best of luck. However, he did the crime, so now its time to do the time.

He'll do a little time, get out, claim the lord spoke to him in his jailcell, start a non-profit LLC and bilk the suckers all over again.

Count on it!

He spoke of desegregating schools, yet he does not mention the fact that he started a private school for blacks only.

Something else I know of because I saw it myself was at a basketball game he purposely tripped a player from the opposing team to prevent him from scoring a fast break basket. When I threw him out he stood up and said do you know who I am. I said yes but I am the man in charge here and you are gone. Not the example that young people needed to be seeing.

The same people who supported him before will do so again when he gets out. Happens every time.

@8:41 a book could be written about all of the awful, unethical, illegal, unconscionable things he's done the past 35 years.

Also, he's allegedly quite ill. Inoperable cancer, maybe. Hopefully he will rot and die in prison.

Hattiesburg is one of the most corrupt cities in the state, and Fairley is right in the middle of it. Rumor is Fairley and Charles Bolton (the Forrest Co. Chief Deputy recently convicted of income tax evasion) were low hanging fruit rounded up in a larger, still ongoing investigation.

This guy is as dirty as they come.

Star Rider - correct all the way. Hattiesburg under Mayor Dupree, along with his wife, Fairley, Plukey (Dep Charles Bolton), and many many others - have screwed the city and its citizens for too long and maybe it might be coming to a head. Understand Plukey's sentencing has been put off (was supposed to be earlier this week) because he is singing - all five verses with the chorus.

Going to be interesting to see who all might get caught up in the web - understand there are going to be people from all walks of life, not just the scumbags associated with Dupree around City Hall.

Indeed, the Hattiesburg corruption crosses the color line. A Federal judge (Walter Nixon) was brought down due to Hattiesburg corruption. Then there was the plane over the Gulf of Mexico with local attorneys on board, but one (Bill Porter) mysteriously disappeared and was presumed dead, his wife left with young children to raise on her own.

It will be interesting to see how all of the dots are connected with the present day cast of corrupt characters, particularly with Plukey singing. Old Hattiesburg is holding its breath and hoping the local syndicate will be brought down once and for all.
