Update on Accused Killer of Snake Man

The man accused of killing Percy King and his son sits in the Hinds County jail as he awaits a mental evaluation.  




JPD arrested Jamario Bell on January 19, 2018 for the murder of Percy King and his son, Jarvis Birthfield.  The killings took place in King's front yard on Scott Street.  King was a former zookeeper at the Jackson Zoo.  He was known as "The Snake Man."  He entertained the children of Jackson for years with his reptile collection at parties, fairs, and even libraries.  He was 57 years old while his son was 19.

Hinds County Judge Bill Skinner denied bond for Bell.  A grand jury indicted him in May 2018 for first degree murder in the two deaths.  Bell asked for a mental evaluation a year ago.  Circuit Judge Jeff Weill granted the request.  The case is now assigned to Judge Adrienne Whooten.  It was continued in February as the defendant awaits evaluation.



Bell was busted in 2016 for drug-dealing but was never indicted.  He was free on a $25,000 bond that was issued on December 28, 2016. He still has not been indicted for that charge.

Really sad, that anyone would shoot and kill anyone not trying to kill them. Also really sad how long you can drag out justice if that is your goal.

How long is the wait for a damn mental evaluation? Must be waiting on his insurance to approve. Wait for it, Wait for it

I'm bells cousin and bell and his older brother suffered molestation at the hands of Mr King when they where kids this incident went on for 2 years which left both highly mentally unstable bell was released from a mental institution less than 24 hours in Dallas tx before the murders occurred but was mistakenly released someone slipped some highly experimental synthetic marijuanna on bell which caused bell to see the rape all over again and he snapped just think about who kills two people in broad daylight with no mask no gloves and no getaway car ....not a sane soul would do that so before you judge mr bell put yourself in his shoes no deserves to be raped as a child

Mr. King was a man of God and did no such thing molesting ANYBODY! You are a LIAR and should be ashamed of yourself for spreading such senseless LIES! The community LOVED and ADORED Mr. King and he is dearly missed!

My son is on the same zone as Mr jamario bell and as far the commenter saying you are his cousin you are lying I talked too Mr bell myself and he says he was not molested he had a episode of psychosis from heavy dosages of haliperidol and ability which caused him worsening psychosis which played on all 5 senses and tricked him into thinking he was being attacked and he defended himself also this was not planned Mr bell left a mental institution less than 24 hours earlier

Mr jamario bell checked into a mental institution called green oaks in Dallas Texas and they abruptly changed his medication from latuda too haldol and ability which has a mean ass side effect of causing worsening psychosis he was only monitored 3 days before being released on his own in a extremely delusional mindstate when he was only supposed too be released too his guardians but it was a failure on the mental hospitals behalf and that didn't happen so he came back too Mississippi less than 24 hours later hallucinating worser than ever and thought 2 people where tryna kill him because prior he was put at gunpoint and robbed and he thought they were going too kill him this time so he reacted with deadly force. This is an insanity case and shouldn't have took 5 years too get handled because Mr bell tried too run away when the victims tried too throw him on the ground but they prevents him from leaving he says and fired weapons at him and at this point he knows how bad his psychosis is and really wants treatment too prevent this from ever happening again and he's also adamant this was a random incident because like he says It doesn't take a rocket scientist too see he was off his rocker that day and if he would've planned too kill someone he a great a shot and deer hunts and from 800 yards away he has hitting targets with 3 to 4 inch Groupings without breaking a sweat and he would've never shot someone in broad daylight while people where walking down the street and he had no getaway vehicle no mask and no gloves and it's very wrong he has been prejudged already like a 2 bit criminal when in actuality he is college educated and is extremely intelligent it's just the medication he takes needs too be adjusted with safer meds

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.
