Metrocenter Angel Arrested

The Metrocenter Angel might be cast into a good ole Mississippi prison.   Jefferson County prosecutors filed a motion to show cause against Emily Seifert-Sanders Tuesday in Jefferson County Circuit Court after she failed to pay the majority of her restitution in her fraud conviction ten years ago.  Adams County deputies arrested her after the motion was filed.  


 
A Jefferson County jury convicted Emily Sanders of two counts false pretenses in 2012.  Circuit Judge Lamar Pickard sentenced her to serve ten years in prison consecutively but the second ten years was to be suspended if she repaid $130,000 to the victim.


 The verdict states she "fraudulently" represented to Dudley Guice that she had an agreement with Moran Foods to open a Save-A-Lot grocery store in Fayette.  Guice invested $130,000 with Sanders but she never opened the grocery store.  She was granted parole in 2014 and is currently on probation.

The motion states: 

3. The defendant has failed to comply with the sentencing order. As of this date, the majority of the restitution has not been paid and the defendant has been released from prison.

4. In pertinent part, Mississippi Code Annotated Section 99-37-7(1) states: “when a defendant sentenced … to make restitution defaults in the payment … the district attorney may issue a show cause citation or a warrant of arrest for his appearance.” 
5. Subsection (2) of the aforementioned statute states: “ . . . unless the defendant shows that his default was not attributable to an intentional refusal to obey the order of the "court . . . the court may find that his default constitutes contempt and may order him committed until . . . the restitution part thereof is paid."

Sanders only paid $24,350 of the $130,419 restitution.  The balance is $106,069.  The payment records are posted below.   

A hearing will be held Monday at 9:00 AM before Circuit Judge Tomika Irving.  Assistant District Attorney Patrick Beasley is prosecuting the case.  

Sanders and her husband bilked at least one investor in Illinois.  The  Illinois Secretary of State barred her from selling securities or soliciting investments in 2007.

The defendant created quite a stir in the Jackson metro area two years ago when she announced on Facebook that she purchased the dilapidated Metrocenter Mall.  

 

 


Her so-called plans predictably never came to fruition.  She landed a few tenants but a tenant and an investor sued while employees went without pay.  Taxes were not paid.  Earlier post. The Hinds County website states the parcel was sold in a prior year's tax sale.  

Kingfish note: Now the real question: Who was she fronting for on the Metrocenter deal?

Con artists and pipe dreams live forever in the Land of Lumumba.

Sure hope the company that bought the tax liens has a plan....the annual taxes for all the tax parcels on the portion of the mall she owned was close to a 100K, give or take.

She used the money to grease some Jackson City Hall palms related to the Metro Center. Right?

I'm reminded of my profound disappointment that we will never have a ferris wheel at the Metrocenter, which is what she promised among other things.

And all the people who critiqued her business plan were all called racists.

one question , How much vodka is in the yeti cup she is strutting around the mall with ?

Anonymous said...

Was that the relatively small grocery store that is abandoned on the side of Highway 61?

Kingfish- what makes you think she was fronting for anyone?

American Greed should set up an office and studio in MS to catch all of our stupid criminals as their escapades develop.

Where are all of the people that said anyone questioning her motive or methods is a racist?

I think this is the same woman who has been seen in Oxford and StarkVegas convincing boys to join the portal, promising them riches for small up-front investments.

@11:06 AM, don't you mean how much cognac is in that yeti cup?

Anonymous said...

She was just trying to Save-A-Lot.

1:47 Those people are right here. Bloggers like yourself pushing a theme. Only a very small number of very small minded people weren't skeptical of this lady. Most people, especially black folk never fathomed how she could "buy" the Metrocenter. Find another angle.

Anonymous said...

@1:47pm Those people are now flooding FB demanding to know when Bryant and Favre are going to get locked up. Classic Democrat race card deflection. There's no satisfying them.

Darn! I wanted to live in a Metro Center condo.

So does this mean we won't get to ride the Ferris wheel?

Like the poster above, you should see my shocked face. Everyone except "the community" knew this was a fleecing of some sort.

I heard McRae's was going to re-open a store at Metro when Ms Sanders got this deal rolling.

I am very disappointed, I have a pair of shoes I need to return.

Con artist for sure! They are a dime a dozen in the Jackson area!

6:29 Just the opposite. Jackson is full of violent criminals not true con artists. Con artists are like the apache warriors: When you don't see them you know they're around.

Having watched this woman on the news over several years and having read her comments and having seen videos of her...I just refuse to believe she is intelligent enough to pull any rip-off valued over $29.95.

She doesn't sound or look smart enough to deceive people. Must be a hidden talent. I bet she'll be conning the cafeteria folks out of extra peanut butter cookies down at the Pearl prison chow line.

Who's conning who? LOL Read a little about the plaintiff. No honor among thieves I guess.

7:46 - Did you expect there would be?

I was hoping to drive some indoor go-karts when the mall reopened. :|

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.
