Jailbirds (Updated w/indictment)

 Hinds County Election Commissioner Toni Johnson and Cedric Cornelius are still in jail after they were arrested by the State Auditor's investigators yesterday. 

The case is assigned to Senior Circuit Judge Tomie Green.  Judge Green set Ms. Johnson's bond at $100,000.  The not one, not two, not three, but 26-count indictment for Ms. Johnson is posted below.  

The grand jury indicted Cornelius for conspiracy (2 counts), conspiracy to defraud state (6 counts), making false statements to government (10 counts), bribery of public official (4 counts), and receiving stolen property.

Her mugshot looks a lot different than the pic on the news!

Toni outweighs Cedeic by 25%. Damn, she must have eaten all those catered meals (the other Commissioners claimed didn't happen) herself.

Typical inmate(s).

These two just thought no one would mess with them.

WRONG !!!!

Part of Shad's press release said...

"(Cedric) Cornelius has been also indicted for conspiracy, bribery, and fraud. He allegedly used his company—Apogee Group II, LLC—to work with Toni Johnson to be paid without work being performed. The company was awarded contracts to perform cleaning services, COVID-19 testing, and voting machine audits for HCEC despite being registered as a “motion picture and video production” company. A $216,227.28 demand letter was issued to Cornelius when he was arrested."

Obviously this guy shouldn't be confused with "Cedric the Entertainer" but apparently qualifies as "Cedric the Non-Performer".

She just figgered nobody pays attention to the election commission so it ought to be a good side-hustle. And she's right nobody pays much attention to the commission, BUT millions of dollars gets a lot of attention. Dumb, dumb, dumb

She lives in a very nice, upscale neighborhood. She has had a comfortable lifestyle & hasn't been oppressed. No reason to steal other than she's a low-life. No wonder she hid her face from the cameras. She was bound to know this was coming.

@10:26am - Ha! That new "look" is definitely on purpose.....she knows where she's headed, and will need that look to survive. But you could say, that's the "real" her based on her actions.

If Toni was Nancy New she would be at home by now. Go figure…

Maybe she could put up those two 85-inch TVs for bail.

Is there one, just ONE, facet of Hinds County or City of Jackson government or government agencies that works? SMDH. I guess all this is my fault too, being a white guy and all.

Department of Revenue brings in the dough for the rest of the government to misspend. That's about all I can think of, but even then ABC warehouse is a dumpsterfire, so even they have their problems. I bet you could walk in without getting wanded if you parked and walked to the back door wearing khakis and a polo.

I hope they collected DNA before they arrested her. The mugshot looks nothing like the queen on WLBT.

This simply proves that being a gaziliionaire and student of Ivy League, has nothing to do with common sense. Zuckerberg, C’mon man.

We the jury find them not guilty.

Attn 2:42 I am pretty sure the state auditor is an ivy leaguer also.

I bet all Hat Gibson is pissed that Andy got some TV time instead of him. I think Gibson has been on TV or news 6 out of the past 7 days. Hold up a TV camera and see who pops up in 10 seconds. It Is going to be fun watching Andy and Gimpson in the governors race after Tater terms out.

The indictment mentions 'Agopee'. Shad mentions 'Agofee'. Is there A Fee to Go Pee? But, seriously, the two departments better get their shit together before court.

The mug shot language claims the arresting agency for both was 'inst'. What's that?

Class, Turn Your Attention To The Scream said...

Every year we see editorials and other pleas asking folk to volunteer as poll workers. And those people are required by law to be trained, the responsibility of the Commish. Any good trainer knows the best item in the training tool-chest is a seven foot wide screen. Count dismissed.

All this talk about work not performed. They were working smart, not long and did the best they could to disinfect those voting precincts. They bought at least one can of Lysol for every single one. Do you have any idea how expensive that Lysol is? Well, it ain't cheap. Not guilty.

4:36, are you living proof that one cant play the horses without a program? That's what I was told when I first wen to the racetrack in South Louisiana. Evidently you need a program to know the names and places of the folks you like to opine about.

I think another player - Michael - has recently published the current edition of the Blue Book and made it available online. Maybe you should get a copy and keep in front of you next time you want to try to make a political comment.

Unknown at 4:36 - Are you suggesting that Andy Gibson will be running against himself?

This case is much more serious than Nancy and Zack New. Hope she and Corney spend many nights in jail.

That'sMisterDeplorableToYou said...

No matter how damning the evidence, there is still required a prosecutor willing to prosecute and a Jackson jury willing to convict. Go to trial and paint ol' Shad as the evil white oppressor doing all this to keep a hard-working sistuh down and take your chances with a Jackson jury. That's what I'd do if I were her.

Anonymous said...

@436 here. I got to stop day drinking. I meant Shad got the TV time about this blog and he will be running against Gipson.

Prison bound soon said...

If she gets a "downtown" jury, she has a chance, but if it's an "uptown" jury, adios sistuh.

Not the only laws she’s broken. Election laws, she has done things…..

They are feeding her pretty well in jail based on the before glamorous pictures and current mug shot.

Is this the same Toni johnson that got on TV and said David Archie was racketeering contracts ?
Is this the same Cedric that works for U.P.S. and stands at my door, and Bragg how the lord has blessed him.

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.
