Woman busted for worker's comp fraud

Attorney Generalissimo Jim Hood issued the following statement yesterday. 



Today, Attorney General Jim Hood announced the arrest of 35-year-old Francine Owens, who is charged with one count of workers’ compensation fraud.

Owens, of Jackson—who also goes by the last name of Wren—turned herself in to the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department Tuesday. She is accused of giving misleading statements to Indemnity Insurance Company of North America, claiming she was not receiving secondary income while receiving workers’ compensation benefits. While receiving those benefits, it was discovered that she had another job and did not provide that information to the insurance company.

If convicted, Owens faces up to five years in prison and $15,000 in fines. A charge is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

This case was investigated the Attorney General’s Insurance Integrity Enforcement Bureau and will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Marvin Sanders.

Kingfish, you are always referring to Jim Hood as "Generalissimo". From my perspective he is doing great work on the people's behalf but your characterization seems to indicate that he is too powerful and/or abusing his power. I'm just curious as to why you characterize him this way.

Big mistake, getting one over on an insurance company. If she'd killed somebody she would be out of prison in a few months. But defrauding an insurance company, she's going to have to pay and pay and pay for that crime.

to 8:31....... explanation ...... that lil name KF uses is because everyone here worships at the alter of the republican party. Mississippi is a one party state.. just like cuba.

How so, 8:26? The Generalissimo is an elected democrat in a red state. That would not fly in Cuba. He's also the state's only elected official who refers to himself using a military title. Well, not counting Sergeant Steve Holland Schultz.

I've also referred to Governor as the Lord Protector, Lt. Gov. As Leftenant Governor, and made fun of other titles. Nice try.

Hey King. How about posting pictures of all of the White "white collar" criminals you write about. Just asking, and yes I do understand that you are playing to your paying White audience. You are a great fact finder and hound dog but how about a little more high brow, ethical and empathetic journalism.

Kingfish said...

I have posted them plenty of times, Mr. Frank, as you damn well know. Nice try.

Hey King you are right. You do post picture White "white collars" but I cannot understand the editorial decision you make on who to post. EXAMPLE: White "white collar" miscreant steals almost $600,000 - no picture. Other than White "white collar" offender has a $15,000 case and lo and behold - photo! I'm sure you aren't hiding behind the fact that the press release included the photo. Based upon the amount of inaccurate, miss-directed and cherry picked digging you've done on JPS administrative and cost per student costs, you have the skill and contacts to get a photo. Just asking!! A tale of two white collar defenders. I (Kingfish) report you decide??

Correction. Not $600,000. Only $196,000.

I used to work at the Workers' Comp. Commission. How about publishing one of the hundreds of stories where the insurance companies REFUSE to pay legitimately injured workers? I have seen injured workers who have lost their homes, had utilities cut off, have ruined credit ratings, and health has been made worse by insurance companies refusing to pay medical bills and fighting so long that the worker will end up settling for a lower amount than due. It's heartbreaking to see some of these workers who have worked years for a company and then be denied what they are lawfully due. No one ever tells their stories, but we always hear about the "woe is me" insurance company. By the way, they NEVER, EVER send those bi-weekly checks to the injured employee on time. They are always late. Most injured workers are blue collar laborers and under educated, and they just don't understand how loyalty to a company means absolutely nothing if you can't perform your job.

Nice try again, Mr. Frank.

The mug shots are posted when they are included in the press releases sent by the government agency. Most of the perps of violent crimes are black and those crimes overwhelmingly take place in Jackson. JPD usually includes a pic of the suspect. Clinton and Rankin County include them as well. The Hinds SO refuses to send me press releases and Madison SO doesn't send them to anyone.

I can request a mug shot as you want me to do but that means I have to file a public records request and they can take one to two weeks to provide the mug shot- long after the story has gone cold. There is also an Ethics Commission opinion that states mug shots are not public records so I am at the mercy of the law enforcement agency. Some will provide them, some won't.

I have posted quite a few mug shots of white folks on here and you damn well know it.

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.
