Teens Robbed at Gunpoint in Ridgeland Hotel

Ridgeland police arrested Ziyan Hopkins and Nicholaus Taylor for participating in an armed robbery that took place at a Ridgeland hotel in December.  Hopkins is the stepson of Hinds County District 2 Supervisor David L. Archie.

The police report (posted below) states two males held eight juveniles at gunpoint at the Staybridge Suites in Ridgeland at 6 AM on December 15.  The two hoodlums collected everyone's cellphones.  One masked man demanded to know where an individual was.  A victim claimed Hopkins left the room and told Nicholaus Deaundre Taylor.  The victim said "she believed" they wanted the individual's location "in order to kill him."



One young man said a male he only knew as "Nick" was looking for him to kill him.  He thinks it is because "he started a relationship with a girl" Nick previously dated. The intent to kill was thus born out of old-fashioned jealousy.  He escaped discovery by hiding under one of the beds.

Ridgeland police charged Taylor with three counts of armed robbery and Hopkins with one count of conspiracy to commit a crime.  Hopkins's bond was  Taylor is still resides at the Madison County Detention Center.  His bond is $150,000.



Kingfish note: If cleared, the post will be removed as both suspects are juveniles.

Wow, Madison County is SO DANGEROUS!

Wow. Madison County seems to be a hotbed of thuggery these days. I don’t care how many strip malls there are. Wait until Costco draws more crime...

Seriously. Better move out of Ridgeland/Madison.

Eight juveniles in a hotel room at 6 am? It WAS a Sunday morning, so is some cultural apologist going to try to tell us they were all good kids just having a Bible study? Dare we ask about parents, or is that “racisssss?”

Sorry that they will miss Sunday School, but, they do have fellowship in the MCSO Detention Center. Sure this is a misunderstanding, just ask their mommas.

Is this the stepson of THE David L. Archie that may or may not actually live in Jackson?

To everyone riffing on Madison crime. He supposedly lives in Jackson and obviously brought his thugnificence with him.

Yet another example of Jacktown thugs crossing County Line Road to commit multiple felonies.

No blessings for them.

Lock & load when on County Line Road.

Wait... hiding under one of the beds... I haven’t seen a hotel bed in years that a person could actually crawl under.

There is NO sight of Jesus or fellowship in MCSO. Just saying.

Ridgeland PD needs to investigate who gave these juveniles firearms. They might be able to find some real criminals JPD has looked the other way on.

1026 and others. It would help if you could/would read. The two rejects are from where??

@11:26
The firearms most likely came from unlocked vehicles in neighborhoods in Rankin and Madison Counties. JJ reports this fact often enough. It is a lucrative business because a week later you can come back and a brand new pistol from Academy Sports or Van's will be back in the glovebox and the vehicle will still be unlocked!

Typical.

Jackson, please keep your thugs on a tighter leash.

we’ve all heard for years how some “county line” keeps thugs in jackson. seems like the millennial thugs don’t really care about that.

should have listened to those of us who know that what happens in Jackson influences the whole metro area.

I see Mr Hopkins resides at the same Clubview address as his stepdaddy.

Mom, Dad this could have ended real bad! Who booked the room? Mom, Dad the news could have read like this, 8 teens killed in hotel. Mom, Dad one one you must use your brain!

Mom, Dad get life insurance and pre-paid burial on these teens. Because I’d be damn, if I give you my hard earned money to bury your children, when you ask on Facebook!

"Staybridge"

Very sad.
But I'm not that surprised.

Although it is less than 200 yards from Jackson, I've always felt safe there.

Nothing against the hotel, but yet another example of the shit town Ridgeland has become.

And I also understand, real estate sales in Madison "The City" have slowed down drastically.
But that's off topic.

These are the same two guys that was hanging around the Fuel Time Gas Station on Raymond Rd in Jackson. The skinny one was in the store during the same time I was in the store. I noticed he had a cellphone in his hand thumbing through it as he was looking at the phone. This male walked up to me while the other one waited outside in a black SUV. He asked me could he use my phone which is a Apple I-phone. I said no. He said you not going to let me use your phone. I said what, hell no I don’t know you and I don’t loan my phone. I knew he was up to nothing good but what he didn’t know I had my hand on my gun ready to blow his ass away if he tried to rob me. They never purchased anything from the store. I went outside and got in my vehicle that’s when I witnessed the other suspect was the driver. I told a couple of my friends about this, now look the same two guy done got busted. That day at Fuel Time was not going to go good for that guy. Something told him not to try this one.

His people are already slamming me for "attacking a child" and "attacking a minor."

KKKingfish the Grand Dragon is at it again on his little hate blog. Never a positive post for the African American leadership on Mississippi. Always approves racist comments.

. . . and 11:28 proves that literacy doesn't cure bigotry, a victim mentality, and strong feelings of persecution.

@KF- Their response to you is EXACTLY why so many young men end up in trouble/prison. They treat criminal activity like “childhood mistakes” and when caught it’s ALWAYS “the first time he did anything wrong” and “he’s just a baby.” Even the schools don’t properly discipline/acknowledge negative behavior. These young men have spent their entire lives being told that the system is against them, and that their treatment of others, no matter how negative, is okay because they made a mistake and they are a minor/young. They get chance after chance with no real repercussions. (I’m not saying it’s strictly a black community issue, that just happens to be the race in this instance. I’d have the same opinion if this were a white, Asian, or Hispanic family.)

I firmly believe so many of these young men would follow different paths if there was more demand/insistence placed on GOOD choices in early development. Trying to kill a guy because he stole your teenage girlfriend is NOT typical minor behavior. I’ll concede we all potentially had/have these type of thoughts... but, the ability to pursue and possibly carry out the action is an entirely different deviant thought process. And, it’s not immaturity... it’s deviance.

Is this site named King Fish because it reports story’s with fishy details? 8 kids had their cell phones taken by assumed murders who overlooked their target as he hid under a hotel bed... Obviously that story was told by kids. It’s an insult to the intelligence of the average adult. Besides a large fraction of these claims beings what a 6am teenage hotel “thinks” to be the case, it’s also concerning that anybody or anything for that matter can fit under a hotel’s bed... just like all humans who live with faults, children lie but it’s when adults help spread the fabricated, pejorative stories to satisfy their bitter appetite. I hope you don’t fall in one of these pot-holes and break your neck while fishing Jackson for content to feed your not so savvy, disgruntled little audience 😊

Does anybody really doubt that George Jefferson was every bit as racist as Archie Bunker?

First off these are all teenagers and they all should’ve been home.Why did parents allow teenage girls to spend the night in a hotel room where males are present?Who and why were they even let in the hotel room if there weren’t welcomed?How did they know what room number?There are many whys,but not enough answers.This young man Zyian was a good kid with a bright future ahead of him.Did he make a mistake?Maybe,that is for him and God to sort out.Every adult I know have been in a situation if gotten caught would’ve landed them in a similar situation.He is a smart young man.We are no better than him,we just didn’t get caugh!

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.
