A drive-by shooting suspect may be staying in jail for awhile if the Hinds County District Attorney has anything to say about it. JPD tweeted May 27:
As is unfortunately too often the case, Jackson is well known to the police. He has a string of arrests over the years as well as a felony conviction. A Hinds County grand jury indicted him last fall for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He posted the $5,000 bail and was released in January.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Malik submitted a motion to revoke and deny bond to Senior Circuit Judge Tomie Green yesterday. The motion states:
On Sunday, May 24, 2020, Defendant was involved in an altercation. Defendant was charged and arrested on May 25, 2020 for Aggravated Assault, Drive by Shooting, and Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling, JPD Case Number 2020-072892. On May 26, 2020 a Bench Warrant was issued for Defendant pursuant to Underlying Facts and Circumstances for Bench Warrant prepared and presented by Detective Jarron Carter. Defendant was given bond for the new charges in the total amount of $300,000 ($100,000 for Aggravated Assault; $100,000 for Drive by Shooting; and $100,000 for Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling). The Defendant is currently incarcerated in Hinds County. See attached "Exhibit 2".Kingfish note: Nice to see our D.A. taking aggressive action against a shooting suspect. Someone should point out to Shamsid-dunce that this suspect was out on bond when he allegedly shot the victim.
The State requests that any prior bond granted in Cause No. 19-0-679 be immediately revoked, citing Article 3, section 29 (3) of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, having been charged and arrested
with the new crimes of Aggravated Assault, Drive by Shooting, and Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling, JPD Case Number 2020-072892, on May 25, 2020....
On Sunday, May 24, 2020 at approximately 22:00 hours, Precinct One Officers responded to 906 Stuart Street in reference to a shooting.
Upon arrival officers spoke with the complainant, Kenzri Stanford, who had been shot once to the left butt cheek. Mr. Stanford stated he was sitting outside of his residence when a dark colored Chevrolet Tahoe came up the street. Mr. Stanford stated the driver side passenger fired several shots towards his residence, causing the residence to be shot approximately seven times. Mr. Stanford stated the passenger of the vehicle was, Cordero Jackson. Mr. Stanford stated Mr. Jackson is the boyfriend of his aunt. Mr. Stanford stated Mr. Jackson was shooting at his step son, Robert Thomas, after an altercation that Mr. Jackson and Sheena Stanford, the mother of Mr. Thomas, had.
Mr. Stanford stated the altercation first took place on Myrtlewood Drive, which is a few streets north of Stuart Street.
While on Stuart Street a call from dispatch advised that a subject shot at Merit Health. I responded to Merit Health where I spoke with, Cordero Jackson. Mr. Jackson stated he was walking up Belvedere Drive when he was shot in his left hand. Mr. Jackson was released from Merit and transported to Police Headquarters to be interviewed.
I had the pleasure to interview Mr. Jackson at approximately 23:11 hours. During the interview Mr. Jackson stated he had an altercation with his girlfriend, Sheena Stanford. During the altercation Ms. Stanford youngest son called Mr. Thomas to the residence. Mr. Jackson stated as Mr. Thomas was walking up the street he fired several shots towards Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson.stated he then ran inside to grab a .380 caliber handgun that belongs to Ms. Stanford and fired approximately two shots at Mr. Thomas.

How does one 'fire approximately two shots'?
thug life-
DA needs a probable cause determination by a court or indictment on new felonies to revoke a prior bond . Can't just claim he was arrested. Pretty clear in the statute. Just sayin
"How does one 'fire approximately two shots'?" They can count that high?
Wait...I thought convicted felons were prohibited from possessing firearms...did I miss something?
@ 10:20. Correct. Wont get a conviction any time soon and he's the one to set GJ meet for indictment.
$5,000 bond for a charge of felon in possession of firearm. So, $500 to a bondsman and he's out. It's past time for Jackson municipal judges to stop treating this charge like it's no big deal. Until they start cracking down on illegal firearm possession, they will never get the "illegal guns off the street" in Jackson, which is Mayor Lumumba's stated goal.
@9:57 AM - it's like when the media report that "the incident happened at approximately 3:37 PM."
That's not "appoximately," that is exact.
Approximately would be 3:35 PM, or 3:40 PM.
12:10 - maybe he meant 3:35 or 3:39?
Get out now while you are still alive.
"Defendant was given bond for the new charges in the total amount of $300,000 ($100,000 for Aggravated Assault; $100,000 for Drive by Shooting; and $100,000 for Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling). The Defendant is currently incarcerated in Hinds County". He will need to come up with $30,000 or get a Bond Agent willing to put him on a payment plan (better choice I'm sure and should not be allowed if legally possible). Don't see any charge for the Felon in possession of a weapon listed, even though, by reading the Motion, he admits to retrieving a .380 handgun.
@12:45
re $300,000 bond
in addition, he could pledge as collateral T-bills, stocks, bonds or other negotiable securities in that amount.
12:45, According to the article, he was indicted last fall for felon in possession of a firearm and was released on a $5,000 bond last January. That is why he was free to be charged with all of these current crimes.
I might have been mistaken in pointing the finger at the municipal court on this one. Since he had already been indicted, it might have been the circuit court that set the $5,000 bond. I don't really know.

He looks like he b mad....
KF's point is that the ADA took an "aggressive position," which we should all welcome. All KF gets in response is nit-picking. Sheesh.
One thing we've needed around Jacktown for years is an aggressive DA's office. This could be a good sign.
if a bondsman writes a 300,000$ bond on ''payments''........the total amount owed will be about 15% or $37,000. the defendant then begins making payments of about $3000 a month to the bondsman.
lets say he manages to make about 3 monthly payments totaling $9000. then the money runs out, which is always the case.
when the defendant fails to make the 4th monthly payment, the bondsman simply picks up the defendant and surrenders him to the county jail and comes off the bond. AND NO, THE BONDSMAN DOESNT REFUND THE $9OOO THAT THE DEFENDANT HAS ALREDY PAID IN.
3:48 has just clarified why all bondsmen have bass boats and Tahoes.
Would be different under Ed Peters...
So...after all this conversational opinion, what's the outcome of it all?
8:56 - Whoever reported this originally would be responsible for an update. Lemme look up there and see who it wa.......Hold on.
