Clinton Police Officer Shot

The Clinton Police Department issued the following statement. 


On March 12, 2020, around 10:45 P.M. Clinton Police responded to a domestic violence situation occurring at a local apartment complex.



In the initial call to police dispatch, it was reported that a male suspect was firing a handgun inside the apartment. While enroute to the apartment, officers learned that the suspect had shot a female multiple times. 





Once on scene, officers immediately heard the female asking for help. The suspect began barricading himself, the victim, and other family members inside the residence.



Based upon the necessity to provide immediate assistance to the victim, the door was breached by Clinton Police. The suspect fired upon the officers and a CPD lieutenant was struck in the foot. The suspect jumped out of a second story window and was immediately apprehended by officers.



The suspect is 29 year old, Jonathan Minter.. Minter is in custody and has been charged with Aggravated Domestic Violence and Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer.



At this time, CPD will not release the identity of the victim who is recovering at a local hospital. The Clinton Police lieutenant was taken to a local hospital and later released to recover at home.


“We ask for the prayers of our community for our officer and the victim as they recover from their injuries. Domestic situations pose one of the highest threats to the safety of our officers as they respond to protect the community,” stated Chief Ford Hayman.

Gotta say I’m disappointed in the lack of bruises on the scumbag’s face. Neither of his eyes is swollen shut, either.

Apartments. Clinton has too many for it's own good. A haven for Jackson's refugees. It will be Clinton's downfall. Too bad.

Clinton PD needs to follow the lead of Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey and buy a bomb and bulletproof surplus military MRAP.

It is unreal to see how Clinton has changed. My son is a 11th grader at Clinton H.S. my daughter is a sophomore at Arkansas state. All I can say is how grateful I am he's nearly out of Clinton H.S. I graduated from Forest Hill and Clinton H.S. is the next forest hill. Apartments killed Clinton.

Sigh. Never know what might happen when you go to work. Tough being a cop. Wonder when folks will start shouting Police Brutality for making that poor man jump out a second story window.

@1:00. The professionalism of the CPD should be commended, not ridiculed. Law enforcement does not mete out sentences. To suggest otherwise would make them complicit in violating the law.

@1:00 PM - that works for me. It looks like there is a bleeding heart/sob-sister snowflake posting on here.

Allowing low-rent and/or Section 8 housing will ruin any community. They are breeding grounds for thugs, welfare queens, and other low lifes.

Good job CPD. Brave actions of a few LEO probably saved multiple lives.

I don't get all of the anti-Clinton comments, this was a domestic disturbance. Happens to white people too, and not just in apartments.

@2:29: What does the price of the rent have to do with whether the officer uses excessive force? (btw, how much is your trailer rent? Asking for a friend.)

Clinton has been lost for a decade, but they just refuse to accept it.

Rankin and Madison have all the entertainment, shopping, restaurants, and movie theaters.

Now that Brandon has a Starbucks, the migration from Clinton will accelerate. Better sell your house now before your property values resemble South Jackson.

Word on the street is that Amazon/Whole Foods is looking into moving to Riverwind Drive in Pearl. An absolute coup!

3:17, when your quality of life is determined by eatin places and strip malls, then yeah, you live in a Mecca. Not everybody’s happiness is tied to eating out 3 times a day.

3:17, you know you can get all that crap from Amazon online and have it at your door in less than two hours, right? You don’t actually have to go to an outlet mall to buy things.

Apartments? Just wait until the 660 units under construction north of Gluckstadt open up for, ah, occupancy. Need we discuss?

Clinton PD is about as good as it gets in this part of the state. But their resources will be stretched thin in the future mainly because of the apartment dwellers. Same thing about Clinton public schools. The Jackson crowd will challenge all forms of discipline and order. They bring the ghetto with them. But I know Clinton will fight the good fight. Good Luck!

I have lived in Clinton for many of the last 23 years, as either a student or resident. I have been a homeowner in Clinton since 2007. I have heard about the supposed downfall of Clinton since the late 90s. And it is always centered around race. And it is always just a damn lie. Clinton is great. Clinton schools are great. It is not perfect, but it's a great place to live. I chose to live in Clinton long before I had kids because it is a diverse city with great schools. Those things still ring true. But there is a certain segment that will never be happy with their kids going to school with black and brown folks. I would rather those folks not live in my town.

It'll take a while for Clinton to catch up with Gene McGee's apartment footprint. As Gluck is the storage building capital of Mississippi, Ridgeland is the apartment complex capital. Now, half of Louisiana's traffic will stop in Clinton for gas on the way to Costco. Don't blame this shit on Clinton.

You can thank Rosemary Altman for the apartments. After Byram was reincorporated, minorities were pushing for more apartments. But Mayor Tremonte held a public meeting at the Byram Middle School gym and counteracted their arguments with facts. The police chief, fire chief, school superintendent all gave stats about greater problems coming from apartment dwellers. Apartment managers verified the adequate number of available rental units. Developers told the number of duplexes available. Complaints were silenced thanks to facts and the Mayor getting ahead of the problem.

@3:54pm - The apartments north of Gluckstadt are in Canton city limits and in Canton school district. Not the same problem Clinton has where the apartments are all in the good school district.

Need to add Kidnapping to his list of charges. Will increase time at sentencing.

“Minorities were pushing for more apartments” Lies, lies, and more lies to reinforce ignorant stereotypes. A can name a few white men in this area, most of whom live in Madison that develop these apartments for profit, often using tax breaks and housing credits...Ask Bruce Kirkland.

Props to CLinton PD. They knew this guy had a gun, had used it, and went through the door anyway. This could have been so much worse.

They ran in while knowing it was an active shooter. Surprised he did not get shot in his huge balls.

I think COSTCO is looking at a second location next door to "MC".

I've heard they might have a brick parking area to "fit in" with the community.

Wow! The haters are giving Jackson a break and hating on Clinton. They are so predictable and do nothing for the good of Mississippi. Clinton is a very nice town with a good new industry that will improve the area for all. Don't buy into the negativity of the haters. And, bravo to the Clinton PD. Know the woman calling for help was relieved to see them. Someday maybe these abusive men will quit believing that their home is their castle full of people that they own, body and soul.

As a Clinton native, these comments have race written all over them. Clinton has the same apartments from when I was in school and the race ratio was majority white. Yes, the district is now about even, with some schools having a slightly higher non-white percentage. Minorities are also homeowners in the community...I guess some of you have forgotten that was a possibility huh? People always complain about minorities not wanting to do better, but when they do, it becomes “do better, but just don’t come over here making our town and schools less white.”

Just wait til those 660 apartments' youngans wind up in Madison School District. Think it's not possible? Stay tuned. Canton can't house them.

No need to stay tuned. 8:54 doesn't have a clue.

4:23 Jackson also has the same apartments they had thirty years ago, but anyone who doesn't have his head in the sand knows that they have all changed, not just race but in activity. Apartments in south Jackson, west Jackson, Northside Drive, County line Road, now have shootings and criminal activity out of proportion with rest of the city. In Jackson that's a hell of a lot. Some of these apartments that were once very nice are now flat out dangerous. Many of these same dwellers are now moving into the apartments in Clinton. Bless their hearts they are human beings, they are children of God. But they will give the police and the school district challenges they have not had in the past. If that offends you, If you find that to be racist, too bad.

10:20 - Perhaps you'll check state law on a county's obligation to provide educational services to its residents. Canton can barely accommodate the illegals in the trailer park.

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.
