$5,000 Reward

 Henry Cooper, Jr. of Country Meat Packers fame posted the following message on Facebook after his truck was stolen:

$5000 dollar reward to the person who can give me info that leads to arrest on the individual in this picture who stole my truck and did over 7k damage to my electric gate he ran through at Country Meat Packers in Florence Miss at 1:45 am Saturday morning. This person could also be tied to the trucks stolen from Cliburn Tank Lines several months back. It is past time for our elected officials to get this crime problem first on the list it’s past time.

Looks like John Wick, but then again I just saw the movie last night.

" It is past time for our elected officials to get this crime problem first on the list it’s past time."

What does he think they'll do about it? Laws against this type of theft and felony damage to property already exist. They sure as hell won't come out to patrol. LE can't afford to lose an officer or deputy to sit on just that property every day.

If he'll sign a waiver, the Rankin SO may let some deputys get some part time security work. I'm not sure what Sheriff Bailey's policy is but it is allowed at other agencies.

Elected officials? Exactly what could they have done to prevent this? Absolutely nothing. We have become so reliant on governments at all levels that we look to them to resolve every issue, and in this case, a complete deterioration of the moral fabric of our society.

Henry is a fine dude running a great company. Will give you the shirt off his back. All he wants to do is stay out of the fray and make products that many people throughout the state enjoy. He does not push agendas or seeks things that other folks taste with a bit of success. He needs help and someone knows about this mischief. Helps the cops nab this bastard!

I understand his very warranted frustration in general. But as others noted, I don't see this an 'elected official' issue and I agree that it is sad that the default is to now demand government assistance.

A small investment in trackers and geo fencing goes a long way.

Surprised the SO didn’t recognize the perp… they got a pretty good picture of him. He must be a meth head from out of town.

Perhaps Cooper's meaning was that the thief was likely a previously convicted criminal who was released too soon or too easily.

Suspect vehicle should be considered well loaded with butter, sour cream, chives, bacon bits and cheese in pursuit of the Idaho Potato.

Are we to guess which truck was stolen? There are at least three makes/models of trucks in this photo. If the photo was taken after the theft, then we don't have a clue.

My suspicions are that keys are left in the ignition of all of them. If that's the case, suck it up cupcake.

Theory of the crime: Local methheads have a big pile of catalytic converters they need to cash in, so they borrow this truck to git-r-dun!

Where is the outrage about sorry cops, stupid government officials, or lazy thugs? Oh, I forgot this isn't about Jackson. So many double standards here.

My wife's Acura was taken by a thief who brazenly walked into her place of employment and slyly slipped her key ring from her desk into his pocket. Insurance paid in full quickly, we got another vehicle, signed the stolen one over to the insurance company.

Police found it with a fake tag in Louisiana 6 months later.

It's possible a coastal seafood distributor in MS or LA bought this air-conditioned truck for cheap from the thief.

Florence is the next Jackson. Water and garbage service next to go.

@11:12. Sounds like right out Gone in 60 seconds. How big is your wife's place of employment that no one saw or felt the guy taking her ring belonged there.

Glad you got a newby out of the experience.

You're clevwr to remind us about how demented Jackson's government and criminal class are. Not that one doesn't get daily reminders.

Time to put up a wall around Rankin and let the criminals take care of each other.

@11:16,

HA no, we wouldn't elect and re-elect folks in positions of influence who didn't have enough sense to keep our garbage and water going.

12:15...Rankin resident here.
We agree to your terms.
Please proceed with said wall.

10:07 for the win. Get's the head-clown award for today.

Where do you hide a truck that large, and then what do you do with it? Guess he had about 6 hours to get it hidden or out of state. Some deputy will recognize this guy do doubt. Hope the outcome will be posted.

Hmmm. Alternatively, let's consider an insurance scam.

2:58 here. OOPS, that was meant for the woman who reported her ring stolen.

A few years ago there was a business in Richland that had a large truck filled with products stolen out of their yard. A company in a northern state found the truck in his parking lot. He notified the man in Richland that owned the stolen truck and said he would hold it until they could come get it. The business owner in Richland sent two people up north to steal the truck back because he was afraid he would have to pay a storage fee for his truck.

That maybe why the truck is hard to find. Businesses in Mississippi are not known for thanking people who found their truck for them. They would rather steal it from them.

5:12 PM, I will give you a hint. The truck that was stolen was filled with new tires. The business the truck was stolen from has a son with the same type of business. The truck was found in a business that sells the same brand of things stolen along with the truck. The man thought he was helping return the truck to the business. The business where the truck was stolen thought the man might want a storage fee. He sent two of his workers up there to steal the truck instead of thanking the man for finding his truck for 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.
