Pelahatchie reached a new low at a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen Tuesday night as the Mayor and an Alderman's daughter argued over who threatened to "F***" the other up. Both women filed police reports with the Rankin County Sheriff's Office. JJ obtained copies of the reports. They are posted below. The reports state what is alleged to have happened after the meeting concluded.
Taisha Travis is the daughter of Alderman Michael Adams. She stated in her report:
On 07/10/2018@ approximately 2030 hrs, Mrs. Taisha M. Travis came in the front office and stated she needed to make a report. Travis stated she was in a Pelahatchie town board meeting with her father, who is an alderman (Michael Adams), when the Mayor, Ryshonda Beechem, threatened her. Travis stated the board voted to make Beechem pay for a bill that was paid without board approval. Travis stated Beechem got aggravated and made the statement "if these people keep on I am gonna fuck them up." Beechem then turned to Travis and stated" and I will fuck you up." Travis stated she looked at the Mayor and stated "Naw, you gonna get fucked up."
Travis stated Beechem then started yelling saying "she said she gone fuck me up!" Travis stated Shamecka Williams Johnson, Allison Weems and Jearlene Holly stated "you gone get fucked up!" Travis stated she is in fear for her and her family due to the threats and request the FBI be notified.
I had Travis and her father fill out statements describing the incident in question and they are both attached to this case number. Travis also provided a handwritten statement signed by Frank Boyd describing the same incident. I advised Mrs. Travis that I would complete an information report on the incident and our office would follow up with her on the following business day. EOR****
Meanwhile, Mayor Ryshonda Beechem filed her own report that night and made the following allegations:
I met Mrs Beechem at the Pelahatchie city hall. She said Taisha Travis is the daughter of one of the alderman for the town and was at the town meeting tonight. Mrs Beechem said after the meeting Taisha approached her while she was still sitting and said "I'm gonna fuck you up." Mrs Beechem said she doesn't know what provoked it and wanted to report this incident. Mrs Beechem also said that Taisha has been escorted out of a couple of other town meetings for her behavior. I advised Mrs Beechem that she could file charges at Justice court and that our legal advisor would look into the matter and get in touch with her next date.Ms. Travis emailed JJ and said she had not been escorted out of any meetings.

The FBI? Seriously? These Pelahatchie folks are out of their minds. I can only imagine the snicker coming out of the deputy as he typed that report up. Probably why he threw the FBI comment at the end. Saving the best for last.
Oh Lord, please help them.
This a good example of something that is SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL.
...like sand in the hour glass, these are the Days of Our Lives...As the World Turns...where The Bold and The "Beautiful"...live in Rankin County.
BTW, I live in Rankin County (but NOT Pelahatchie).
KF, you haven't reported on the chief of police resigning. More popcorn please, as the rats are jumping ship.
These people seriously need to grow up. How low can they go?
That's Fugged up.
And for those that don’t know, or can’t tell, these are all people of the same race. It’s not racial or black and white as many outside the fire have tried to insinuate.
This town was much better off a few years ago before the revenge of Ryshonda.
The incident related in these reports does not appear to be a race issue on its face. But it very much has racial overtones. The alderman in question and whose daughter is involved is mixed race. The Mayor deems him to be not black enough and has stirred the pot of racial tension in the black community and has attempted to turn black people against Mr. Adams using the argument that he is a pawn of the whites. Oh, yes, this is very much racial. It's a very nuanced acrimony with deep roots in black culture. And it is totally and completely mystifying to white folks who have little to no ability to comprehend it. The Mayor has chosen to extract revenge on the whites who she claims wronged her Mama (the incompetent Police Court Clerk who failed to account for literally tens of thousands of dollars in traffic fines and was properly, albeit quietly, discharged from duty) and the "may as well be white" blacks who she claims Uncle Tom'd her Mama. That's her total platform. May as well call her "Mayor I'm gonna git you sucka."
I'm not questioning your assertions, 3:35; but, for God's sakes, make up your mind. First you say "does not appear to be a race issue" and then you say, "Oh, yes, this is very much racial". Then you get deep into "white folks who wronged her mama" and claims of 'Uncle Tom'.
White people are not as stupid as you think. Most of us are fully aware of the 'not black enough' thought process and the primary driving force behind the thoughts of EVERY black person in authority....which is...."How black is she" and "Who her people" and "where she churched at" and "Who them babies daddy?"
Whatever the ills and evils are in a white administration or position of power, you will never find any of THAT bull-shit.
"I'm gonna get you sucka".................
LMAO !!!!!!!!!
I highly recommend security at all future meetings. This is getting good.
This is good, but it’s not better than the Tuesday Morning hugs at “The” River Hills Club.
Please, please invite Jerry Springer! Tell him to bring the oil wrestling pit! The hell with the Muscadine Festival, this will be a sellout!
@ 4:50,
I'm a fairly new member of river hills and I need to know about the Tuesday morning hugs.
There have been Uncle Tom's since slavery began. Unfortunately the only some brothers can get ahead is by taking the role.
I am reminded of the famous Uncle Earl Quote.........there is only 4 people that give a shit about the Gret Stet of Loseeanna......Sears and Roebuck, Jesus H. Christ, and Earl K.Long. I think it is time that JHC paid visit to the county of Rankin!!
This ain't about race. This is just ignorant stupidity, which is obviously color blind. Plenty to go around.
Lakeland Drive paving project getting state-wide attention. Pelahatchie consistently getting more JJ blog replies than the City of Jackson. And Hinds County officials getting ZERO media attention.
That tells you all you need to know. The circus has relocated eastward.
Ryshonda is doing all she can do to sink The Town of Pelehatchie for the revenge of her mother's abrupt termination. Gee thanks Mom! "Are we ready to vote?" Sickening...
I posted about the police chief resigning last week. The media just now picked it up.
Ms. Travis emailed me and said she had not been escorted out of any meetings.
This nonsense with family members running around publishing letters and confronting the mayor looks like the aldermen are just desperate for anything that might stick and make the mayor look bad. The mayor doesn't seem to have anyone giving her sound legal or political advice. All of them need to resign.
We will see if this is a race issue when she, if allowed, will appoint a police chief. If he is black then we know her intentions. If white she will smooth the water a TINY bit, but yes. This has gotten pretty bad. I’m like the poster above and you need security, RCSD, at the meetings going forward. Making threats like these are serious matters. People are shooting each other in other places over much less
Pelahatchie by definition is all about race.
White people left Jackson and Brandon to be way away from any blacks.
With the unthought of election of a black mayor the white mans worst fear is coming to fruition....the white man has to answer to a black woman!
It is literally peeling and burning the skin off their little white heads.
Every time the mayor speaks the white Pelahatchian squirms.
I worked there for a decade.....it’s only about race....I know.
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Please more detail on Mayor's Mom's missing funds ,etc.
@ 5:02 The mayor can make a suggestion on the police chief, but it is up to the aldermen to vote. Just like the president makes nominations but Congress has to approve.
Mayor Ryshonda Beechem isn’t worried about being prosecuted bc she’s was on one of the first invitations for District Attorney’s Michael Guest campaign fundraiser invites. Then brags to everyone about having friends in high places and that not worried about anything.
Race? The Board votes against her unanimously quite a bit - and two members are black. The Jackson NAACP criticized her because she dared to support Guest for Congress.
If only Kenneth Stokes lived in Pelahatchie.
Thanks Marshall Ramsey, you read my post 7/12/18, 5:00 PM, woohoo!
KF...you have actual footage of her being escorted out...you’ve posted it...one of your first post from here...
Sweet I walked out with my parents lol, not escorted thanks
If my people which is called by my will hear my voice n turn from their wicked ways I will come n healed the land
This whole fiasco can be summed up to voter apathy. If you don't go vote then don't complain with what you get.
No one is right in this situation. It is embarrassing.
