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.

I'm shocked. They both look like good, clean-cut kids.
Damn wormskulls strike again.
Madison is lost.
Worms on they head
You might end up dead
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!
SUBHUMANS! Nothing but animals.
I wish his stepdad would be put in the slammer with his stepson. Both are punks
David Archie..LOL....apple doesn't fall far from tree.
Be interesting to see what this misunderstood yewth gets in the way of hand spanking!!!
"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.
We need to hear from the radio strongman, Kim Wade, about David L Archie.
"David Archie..LOL....apple doesn't fall far from tree". You do mean Fungus, don't you?
I can hear David now,,,,Dem low down dirty white people done arrested my step boy...Mr Wade
The two foolproof steps to criminal reform:
1) castration
2) lobotomy
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!
