Beat a mama, go home to mama.

Warning: Graphic photos posted below. 

Take a look at where convicted wife-beater Brian Clark is residing these days.




He has been assigned to the Wayne County jail, which just happens to be his home county. 

Lowndes County Circuit Judge Jim Kitchens sentenced Brian Clark last September to serve 16 years in prison for the beating of his wife, Dr. Hope Clark.  Clark pleaded guilty to Aggravated Assault-Domestic Violence in May 2016.  Judge Kitchens suspended six years of the sentence and also required him to serve five years of post-release supervision.  Clark will be eligible for release for prison upon serving five years of his sentenced under HB #585.

 Clark was arrested in 2013 for beating his wife and splitting her head wide open.   A grand jury indicted Clark in January 2014 (see p.21 in documents posted below.).    Clark claimed he was indigent. The court appointed a public defender to represent him although he was later represented by attorney Robert Ray.  The Columbus Packet reported on July 31, 2017: "The 37-year-old Clark, who listed on court documents that he makes $100,000 a month from his family’s oil and convenience store business, faces from two to 20 years in prison."  His family owns Clark Oil & Gas.  It is probably the dominant family in Wayne County. 

The case was continued 15 times.  Mr. Clark was supposed to be sentenced on August 10 but Judge Kitchens continued the case until November 13.  The Court said that sentencing was postponed so Clark could complete his remaining 14 therapy sessions at the Center for Violence Prevention in Pearl.  However, the Judge moved up his sentencing to September 12. 

Clark is the nephew of Butler Snow CEO Don Clark.

  Kingfish note: Don't forget the role of State Representative Jeff Smith.  The defense hired State Representative Jeff Smith as counsel February. Mr. Smith filed a motion for a continuance. His excuse? He could not attend court because he was serving in the legislature.  The continuance motion was filed on the same day that he filed his entry of appearance. Mr. Smith's daughter works for Butler Snow.  Smith was also the lawyer for the Columbus Packet.



Here are the pictures of his victim's injuries.

Two weeks age, Brian Clark was classified as a MEDIUM Security Class. Now he is classified as a MINIMUM Security Class. Wonder if he slept in his own bed last night? The Sheriff in Wayne County is dirty - he warned Clark that he was going to have a restraining order served on him in an hour (giving him enough time to go to the condo in Alabama. Sheriff Jody Ashley claims he never got it to serve, but evidence disputes that! The court in Florida has indicated that it was delivered to Wayne County.

Only in Mississippi can you buy your way out - call the Governor's office and let Phil know that Mississippians will not tolerate this going on in our state. The Governor's phone number is 601.359.3150. Call the Lt Governor's office @ 601.359.3200, the Speaker's office @ 601.359.3300.

Call the State Capitol switchboard 601.359.3770 and let your Senator and Representative know you are tired of this and you want it stopped NOW!!!!!

His ass needs to be in Parchment - he's got some friends up there that are waiting on his ass!

Looks like the Clark Continuing Criminal Entertprise headed by Lord Snow (Don Clark)and Jon Frank Clark is thriving per usual. If I were the Wayne Co Sherrif I'd surely be on bended knee praying that no one investigates how he helped get Brian's subsequent assault charges in Destin,FL dismissed.

Representative Jeff Smith was co-counsel on this case for Clark! Call him @ 601.359.3343 and ask why he's done this. The people in Lowndes County need to send his ass and mustache back him. He's a disgrace to his profession, his family and Lowndes County. Maybe he can go up to his country office and stay!

"Clark is the nephew of Butler Snow CEO Don Clark."

How is this relevant to the rest of the story?

I wonder how much extra it costs the tax-payers to keep this continued for FOUR years? I'd sure remember how Rep. Jeff $mith used his political power when he comes up for re-election if I was a citizen of Lowndes County. The battered wife should run against him

Anonymous said...

At what point are the 99.99% of us say ENOUGH instead of shrugging this off as the standard treatment if someone has loads of money. I for one AM DONE with this response! it's not ok that the legal/political system is really designed to help the people with the most $$ do the worst things to the vulnerable and get away with it. The Butler Snow mention is because Don Clark has used his position at the Wal-Mart of law firms Butler Snow against this victim in many many ways.

Anonymous said...

Hey, 12:02! How dumb are you? This violent criminal's high placed and well heeled family is relevant to and probably the major reason for WHY he isn't in Parchmen right now, serving a sentence commensurate with both the heinous nature of his crimes and the sentences imposed on others like him who lacked a silver spoon in their mouths at birth.

Anonymous said...

Don Clark went to Columbus with Clark when he had to go to court. He hid out at the attorney's office - he didn't want the Board of Supervisors or Chancery Clerk to see him. Butler Snow does business with Lowndes County. I hope they don't now!

Anonymous said...

12:18, no. Don Clark is not the reason. The family is a wealthy, powerful local force in Wayne County. But most people, particularly in the JJ readership circle would recognize the name of daddy or other family members because they don't have any connection with Wayne County or that portion of SE MS. But they do recognize the name of Don Clark, who while not daily involved in the family business is a beneficiary of it. And, Don Clark did try to inject himself into the legal morass in Lowndes County.

Where is Parchment? Or Parchmen?

MR ATTORNEY GENERAL WHERE ARE YOU???? Investigate the Wayne Co Sheriff's handling of this FL warrant!!!
Either you're part of the solution or you remain part of the problem! Do we really need a replay of the George Bell show??? he "did" several months hiding out in an out-of-state rehab before killing the woman he beat so badly. Eerie similarities to this case. Let's hope and pray you don't let it happen to this woman... Or any female who might cross paths with this monster

Anonymous said...

MDOC wouldn't allow the crooked Wayne Co Sheriff who let him skip on the FL warrant oversee and supervise him,right? If so, I'm certain he's being dropped off at his very nice home early in the am for 18 hrs on "work release" and returning late at night.That's if he is even coming back to the jail

Anonymous said...

Coming soon: How I fabricated part of my story in order to put Mr. Clark in prison. Not fake news, just a fact that is verified. The guilt is just too much for the accuser. No man should beat any woman but when you mad because your prenuptial says you get ZERO dollars if you divorce, you find ways to make him pay when you are a total idiot and gold digger. There is a special place for liars like her. No, I'm not family. She just talks too much when she's had too much to drink.

I've got a great business idea. Put an ankle bracelet on him that has a GPS locator inbeded in it. Than make an public app that will show the location of the ankle bracelet. This would be great fun watching were he is at on the app.

@1:44 Are you saying the photos KF posted about are a lie? He beat her severely. That’s what he went to prison for.

3:19, I do not have a dog in this race and have never heard of any of these people but I have been following the articles here. If this fella makes 100k/month you bet your ass all is not as is told.

@1:44 @5:11 So I guess you also know that this creep's child support order only obligates him to pay approximately $585/month even tho he passively makes $100k/mo????? The MS statutorily mandated child support withholding guidelines state for 1 child he should be paying 14% of his adjusted gross (income after taxes), he should be paying $11,620/month. Put that in your funky ass pipe and smoke it

@1:44 Maybe this lady SHOULD write her story and include ALL of the stories of the other ladies he has assaulted over the years.I bet they sure have some interesting stories about how these Clark people operate. I'm thinking these ladies have lots to say.

Anonymous said...

Didn't he stand up in court under penalty of perjury and plead guilty to aggravated assault-domestic violence? Not an Alford plea but an actual admission of guilt that he did what the DA/Grand Jury charged him with? I'm not really sure what @1:44 is saying bc numb nuts admitted guilt

Anyone heard of the 3rd Generation curse? The 1st generation (Brian's grandad)scratches and claws their way to build a business thru hard work.Then the 2nd generation (Brian's dad)expands the business.The 3rd generation(Brian) is ridiculously entitled and squanders away the empire,spending most of the day on the golf course. Very gauche indeed

How do you go from a violent felony offender that almost kills his wife to a minimum security classification in only 3 months? doesn't happen. Either he needs to go to Parchman or everyone at Parchman with a similar situation should be released to a minimum security jail if they've served 3+ months.which do you prefer?

This guy certainly knows how to use lawyers. Which is what he should've done that night instead of his hands.We need to hold everrybody who helped make this happen accountable now and when they run for reelection.

When will it be enough for these Clark people? I guess when someone's brains and skull fragments are on the wall and floor.I can't believe Jim Hood wants to run for higher office while passively allowing the Clark's to bribe and extort their way through the State of MS?(well i guess (Destin)Florida and (Orange Beach)Alabama where Clark hid out from the FL warrant too).Isn't Jim Hood violating the oath he took by allowing the sheriff to blatantly ignore his sworn duty to uphold the law?

Anonymous said...

Why wasn't he declared a violent fugitive and the US Marshalls called? Did the Sheriff at least notify LEO in Orange Beach,AL to try to locate him at his easily discovered condo address at Orange Beach??Especially since he was ON BOND AND UNDER FELONY INDICTMENT for FELONY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGG ASSAULT in MS,committed ANOTHER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ASSAULT IN FLORIDA on a different woman THEN FLED after the Sheriff gave him notice he was coming to serve the warrant from FL? Didn't the Sheriff have a duty to notify the MS bondsman he'd fled?Why wasn't the Sheriff angry that he fled?Isn't that why the Sheriff called him first to make sure he would stay put to receive the warrrant? It doesn't pass the smell test that this same Sheriff is now inviting this violent fugative to come to "stay" at his jail after only 3 months.
Wouldn't everyone who had a part in this have blood on their hands?Well they are certainly on notice and can't possibly claim ignorance when he kills somebody in the future. (Bell and Burroughs come to mind)

Governor Phil Bryant should order an investigation be launched to actually see what has taken place in this case. After all, he did appoint the current Commissioner to head the Department of Corrections. Even though she is from Wayne County and was Chris Epps' right hand person for years. She had to know what was going on at Corrections and as I understand it, still is according to some officials I've talked to. But wait, Governor Phil Bryant's daughter worked for and still has close ties to Butler Snow and Lord Clark. Maybe U. S. Attorney Mike Hurst will reopen the Epps case and investigate this injustice the Department of Corrections has done to the victim and others. What about the Sheriffs' that gave McCrory contracts for phone service in their jails?

By the way, the late Senator Bunky Huggins knew something was afoul at Corrections, but at that point in time was to sick to investigate. Bunky was a good guy and would have done the right thing and look into the illegal things that were going on at Corrections.

Come on Phil - do the right thing and look into this matter. How can a inmate who plead GUILTY to felony domestic aggravated assault go from being a Medium Security Class to a Minimum Security Class in just two weeks. This does not pass the smell test!

On that's right - we are in Mississippi and money talks. Just ask Jeff Smith, who never had an appearance in Lowndes County Circuit Court with Clark, but used his "Legislative duty" to get a CONTINUNCE for Brian Clark in Lowndes County Circuit Court. Check the Court records. That's Mississippi's justice system for you - money talks, bullshit walks!

MARK YOUR CALENDERS..... shortly before phil bryant leaves office his family will write a 6 figure check to the mississippi republican party, and on bryants last day in office he will either pardon him or commute the remainder of his sentence . you people , like most, have very short memories. does the name karen irby ring a bell.

his pardon has already been arranged. he will be released about one year from now on bryants last day in office.

Isn't is convenient that the new 585 sentencing guidelines were passed by Rep Andy Gipson from Wayne Co who co-sponsored the bill? It was passed after he assaulted his wife but also before he was sentenced. Makes lots off sense now why Rod Ray kept continuing the case for 4 years. Andy Gipson needs to be added to the list of incumbents who must be challenged during reelection bc that law is not making for a safer environment when you allow violent abusers free without some sort of rehabilitation. At the very least he needs to do alcohol & drug counseling and batterers intervention.

How many strikes does it take to be held accountable for just 1 crime? Looks like he's had at least 3 strikes committing at least 3 felonies. Why isn't he classified as a habitual offender in Parchman instead of being downgraded to minimum supervision in 3 months and returned to his shangri-la that is Wayne Co?

Lowndes county corruption. I have been trying to get rid of Forrest Allgood the former District Attorneyin Columbus, since 1980. It took Barry Scheck coming to Columbus, and freeing two people Forrest Allgood put on death row, and Radley Balko's article on Forrest Allgood prosecutor misconduct fake experts and discredited State medical examiner Steven Haynes, to get rid of Forrest Allgood.I need help to get an investigator from the Department of Justice in Washington DC. 1000's of Suspect conviction's and possibly 100's of innocent people are still in jail. Jim Hood has used the same fake experts and the discredited State medical examiner Steven Haynes in several of his cases so he doesn't want anyone looking into this. Every case involving the fake experts and discredited State medical examiner Steven Haynes should be looked at case by case basis to see how many innocent people are still in jail. Jim Hood is protecting the one's that edited a highway patrol dash cam video and entered it into federal court which is a MAJOR FELONY. I had Felicia Adams the U.S Attorney in Oxford investigating this and Trump replaced her and the FBI has dropped the investagation. The two deputies that are trying to help me said that the local FBI would not investigate this because he is friends with Jim Hood and the ones that edited the dash cam video. I guess they were right. Frank Griffin lll former owner and President of First Federal Bank in Columbus and I have talked to 3 State Senator's and a member of the Governor's staff who said that the Governor will not get involved because he has an agreement with Jim Hood the Attorney General. What kind of an agreement does the Governor have that would prevent him from sending an investigator to meet with me and look at my evidence. I have received two phone calls telling me that if I don't drop this that I could end up dead. I have talked to two men at the White House and they gave me a case number and sent my information to the Department of Justice in Washington DC. But it has been more than 6 months and I have not heard from them. I need help to get this to the right person at the Department of Justice in Washington DC or on the National news maybe that will force them to investigate this. My friends have sent my information to Fox News and 3 different national news networks and one is interested in doing a story on this. I am waiting to hear from them. If anyone can help me contact 662-251-8726. There is a lot more to this story that I can't put on Internet. All I ask is for an investigator to meet with me and look at my evidence. My younger brother is a Col. Army Rangers special forces air Bourne and just got back from Korea said that I should contact President Trump and ask him to send an investigator to meet with me and look at my evidence. Contact 662-251-8726 jerrydfowler49@gmail.com for more information

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.
