JPD announced at a 1:15 PM press conference that an officer accused of sexually assaulting a minor has been placed on administrative leave. At a press conference this morning, attorney Lisa Ross accused (now-deceased) officer James Hollins of repeatedly having sex with a 15 year-old girl for six months. Ms. Ross represents the victim's family.
Sergeant Roderick Holmes said internal and criminal investigations of the allegations will take place. He said the officer in question was placed on administrative leave as is standard procedure for such cases. Sergeant Holmes said he became aware of the allegations yesterday.
Sergeant Holmes said he did not have any information about whether the suspect officer committed suicide. However, he did say there was a "deceased victim" on I-220 upon a direct question by yours truly. He said there was a deceased person there who died of what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Kingfish note: The Kingfish got a tip about the suicide on I-220 right before the press conference started. JJ stands by the earlier post about the suicide. JJ has the identity of the officer but will publish it after the families are notified. It was rather surreal. The phone is receiving tips about the suicide, Dave Kenny is showing the traffic stopped in both directions on I-220 on his iphone, meanwhile, we are having a press conference about the subject being under investigation.

It's only the perception of sex with a minor and a suicide.
Car wrecks cause 45 minutes to an hour stoppage on this road if the vehicles are in the road. Why does a suicide which I assume is on the side of the road cause the city of Jacktown to close the interstate for 2 hours?
Something is surreal, alright. What's surreal is continuing with the announcement about suspension of an individual who they know for a fact has committed suicide. WTF?
This made national News. USA Today.

This POS will go to hell, straight to hell; he will not pass go, and he will not collect $200. So goes his game of Monopoly.
9:10, that's not your call, but there are plenty on here who assume they are God.
After the lawyer and the news reports mentioned the city was slow to respond to the complaint, the city wanted to be on record as having responded. Thus the rush to announce they were suspending a guy who was dead.
The chief of police needs to be fired. He is responsible for his officer. Let's see if Lubumba has the balls to do this.
I agree 10:06
If the chief was made aware on Saturday at the very least he has to step down. The fact that he committed suicide in a patrol vehicle on duty with a service weapon makes it even worse.
I feel bad for my hometown, and even worse for the victim. Jackson doesn’t deserve this, and more importantly the victim was failed on multiple levels.
On the news this morning it was said that the investigation is continuing. Why waste the resources on an investigation? I feel bad for all involved. The guy committing suicide is pretty much an admission of guilt. That coupled with the videos, to me, is an open and shut case.
Between Victor Mason and JPD, the city and the county are going to be broke, broke, broke. Didn’t your mom and dad teach your the morals of keep it in your pants son?
This will not end well for JPD or the Lumumba administration.
See for example:

This was a black cop with a black chief (and a black mayor) and that cop apparently had at least two black "baby mommas" and was getting freaky with a 15 year old black girl. And to cap (pardon the pun) it off he put one of the baby mommas into a situation by stealing her service weapon and giving himself a lead headache. Long story short, he shit down both legs and all over the floor. Some black women will put up with a lot of BS from a brother and some won't put up with much at all but damned few will put with this kind and amount of stuff. A whole bunch of righteously angry black women could easily be a political career ender for any target(s) of that group anger.
Was this man suspended before or after he took his life? I suspect "after" due to the hesitance this administration has exhibited in previous scandals.
I have a problem with this and no, most of you won't agree. I don't know the whole story but the first thing that came to mind was "set up." First off, Lisa Ross. Enough said. Secondly, why did it take 6 months for this to be reported. Thirdly, have y'all seen 15 year olds today? They look 25. They act 25. Their manipulation skills are extraordinary. Sounds like they were both in this and something didn't go her way. Lets run to Momma and Daddy and get some money. Meanwhile, a man who made a stupid decision took his own life. And before you get started, I am female.

The law is clear. 15 year olds cannot legally consent.
It’s rape.
He’s a cop and he knew how old she was.
He raped a citizen he should have protected.
Lisa Ross has zero to do with this.
9:10 you don’t think that her mother gave her too much freedom, and put the pieces together when it was too late?
9:36 I get that but this continuation of the #metoo moment is about to get on my last nerve. When do we start to hold the people in the situations accountable to a degree? Where did the recordings come from? Obviously you've never had the "privilege" of working around Ms. Ross.
to 9:10 ..........your post proves that no one can hate a female , even a 15 year old minor female, more that another female.
