Shots Fired by East County Line Road

The Ridgeland Police Department issued the following statement. 

This morning, units responded to 911 calls in reference to shots fired near the intersection of Ridgewood Road and County Line Road in Ridgeland.  Responding officers met with a subject who advised that he was leaving Beyond Therapy in Ridgeland where he was involved in a disagreement in the parking lot with the shooter and a female driver of the suspect vehicle which was described as a silver sedan. 

 

Both parties reportedly left Beyond Therapy and turned south onto Ridgewood Road.  As the two parties turned west onto County Line Road the male suspect fired several shots from the passenger seat of the silver sedan in the direction of our victim; no one was injured in the assault.  

 

Investigators promptly responded and began interviewing witnesses and gathering any evidence available. 

 

The driver was quickly identified as Lillian Johnson, age 22, of Jackson; Johnson is now in custody for Accessory After the Fact to Aggravated Assault.  Larry Knight, age 25, of Jackson, was also taken into custody.  Knight has been identified as the shooter and is charged with Aggravated Assault.  Both suspects were arrested in Jackson at the Forest Ridge Apartments, on Beasley Road.  They will be held without bond until they are brought before a Ridgeland Municipal Judge.   

 

Special thanks to the Jackson Police Department for their cooperation in the arrests.

Kingfish note: Larry pleaded guilty to business burglary in April in Hinds County Circuit Court.  Judge Faye Peterson sentenced him to serve one year in prison but suspended the sentence and placed him in non-adjudicated probation.

544, not necessarily. They are at places, but at places all are in Hinds and at others all are in Madison. There are a few places here the median actually may be the county line.

Probably too bad for the perps that Mayor Yak-a-lot's $20 million "under bridge to nowwhere" was not completed. Had it been they might could have made that trip across from East to West a couple of minutes quicker and evaded the Ridgeland PoPo for three or four minutes

When you compare the Real Crime numbers vs population, Meridian Mississippi is More dangerous. Plus the Police DONT WANT TO CATCH THEM. The Previous Part Time Municipal Judge (Just fired by newly elected Council) would often drop Serious Charges because the City is broke. It survives solely on Grant's. Corruption is rampant. If someone is shot. They may ask for tips, but wont release video.

But when it comes to Revenue generation, the part time Judge would do everything to recover fines. In 2019, he sentenced a man to 2 days jail, not at the Meridian Jail, the Lauderdale County Jail or the Private Prison at Chunky, just outside of meridian.

Instead he sent him to a Sheriff who runs a 2 county regiona Jail/prison 40 miles away ...maybe because the state had cut the number of inmates being sent there, at ome time was only 1/3 full.

Also In part because he is also Part time Municipal Judge in 2 small towns there who make a killing on Casino & MS State student ticket money. These aren't ordinary town Police officers. The Town boards gave every Officer, almost all of them part time, the Same authority as as a deputy Court Clerk. Legally they can assign & collect fines, set bond & collect bond, all on the side of the road. And if you dont want a reckless driving ticket on your record (Radar not allowed) . You can pay in CASH, without paperwork.

Anyway, this Judge (also involved in the National CBS 48 hrs episode on the deliberately botched Murder?, Ruled Suicide immediately in 2014 without any investigation and by a temporary Police Chief. The Christian Andreacchio story). Not even the new DA (whose legal residence was in Georgia, and received homestead Exemptionin Georgia, appointed by Phil Bryant would touch it after the long term DA recused himself & immediately retired...Jim Hoods AG office did nothing, nor Lynn.)

But instead of this prisoner being released after serving his 2 day sentence, he was kept illegally for 50 more days, then suddenly moved into solitary confinement and supposedly hung himself 14 minutes later.

Just to give context, there have been many escapes after which prison employees suddenly resigned. The main maintenance man is a former Inmate/murderer who served 15 years, much of it there, for killing his wife.

You do realize Kingfish has for several years been a large Peterson cheerleader. Don't look for him to call this one in advance.

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.
