A lawsuit charges Greta Bully stole a a woman's house through fraud and used her law enforcement friends to throw the woman out of her home where she lived for 26 years.
Jeane Collier sued Greta Brown Bully, Marcellus Smith, Golden Moments, LLC, and Gwendolyn Robinson-Jordan in Hinds County Chancery Court on January 10 for fraud and several other torts. Bully is the daughter of Hinds County Constable John Brown. She and her husband own the well-known Bully's Restaurant in Jackson.
Bully is no stranger to the court system. She pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the shooting death of Larry "Caveman" Lee, a local bum in 2021. Special Circuit Judge Forrest Johnson sentenced Greta Brown-Bully to serve ten years in prison but suspended 8 years of the sentence and placed her under house arrest for two years. The house arrest period ends in September.
The petition states Freddie Smith and Jean Collier purchased their home at 2352 Riffle Avenue from Greta and Ballery Bully in 1996. Hinds County online property tax records confirm the purchase although they do not provide records before 2006. The records state the couple owned the house until 2013, the year when this bout of fun began. Ms. Collier states she and Mr. Smith owned the home as joint tenants with full rights of survivorship. The deed stated:
On November 26, 1996 (filed/recorded January 7, 1997), ·'GRETA BROWN, and husband. BALLERY BULLY d[id] hereby sell, convey and warrant unto FREDDIE C. SMITH and JEAN C. COLLIER, as joint tenants with full rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common... .'' by ASSUMPTION WARRANTY DEED, Book 4720, Page 477. the parcel of land and home thereon 2352 Riffle Avenue, Jackson, MS 39209 ('""Home"") more particularly described as Lot 42, Westchester Hills Part 2. Tax Parcel Identification Number 815-391.
Mr. Smith passed away due to cancer in early 2013. He was the sire of Marcellus Smith, Sr. Marcellus married and divorced Greta Bully. The couple begat a son, Marcellus Smith, Jr.
Ms. Collier claims the house should have passed to her due to her possessing the right of survivorship but such a transfer did not happen:
Bully offered to assist Collier with Smith's ongoing debilitating illness. As a result, Bully gained regular access to Collier and Smith's home. It is at this time Bully made use of this access to take the warranty deed to the property in question without knowledge of Collier.
.On July 30, 2013, after the death of Smith, a fraudulent transfer of real property was made from owners Smith and Collier to Bully without Collier's knowledge.
The plaintiff said she could not find the deed after Mr. Smith died. She lived in the house for 26 years and paid it off through her bankruptcy. U.S. Bankruptcy Court records confirm she filed a bankruptcy petition in 2015. The case was closed in 2020. Ms. Bully nor Mr. Smith raised the issue of ownership of the home during bankruptcy proceedings.
The petition alleges Bully came to Ms. Collier's home soon after Mr. Smith's death and took a white van, guns, tools, and other items. The plaintiff said she never paid rent to Bully.as there was no rental agreement between the two parties.
Ms. Bully tried to evict Ms. Collier in July. However, Ms. Collier was not served. Hinds County Justice Court Judge Kenny Lewis dismissed the case in July 2022 on the grounds the case belonged in Chancery Court.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again and try again did Ms. Bully. The good Greta ran to Hinds County Court Judge Frank Sutton for help. Judge Sutton obliged the constable's daughter and ordered the eviction of Ms. Collier from her home.
Ms. Bully's good friend and fixer, Hinds County Constable Jerry Moore, posted on the home's door a notice giving Ms. Collier 72 hours to vacate the premises. The woman appealed the eviction to Hinds County Court. The case was assigned to the late Judge Larita Stokes. Despite the appeal and resulting stay, Ms. Bully allegedly entered the home with a locksmith and changed the locks on the home.
Defending her home, Ms. Collier "regained" entry to her home and replaced the locks. Greta Bully has always been one to throw her weight around and this case was no exception. The complaint states:
21. On August 31, 2023, in the dark of night with blue lights and LEO vehicles, after Collier had regained entrance and replaced Plaintiffs new locks with her own. Bully's manager Gwendolyn Robinson-Jordan (""Jordan''), Hinds County constable Jerry Moore ('""Moore""), an unknown Jackson Police Department law enforcement officer, with the assistance of locksmith Dan Roberts. did break and enter into Collier's Home under color of law. Counsel for Collier arrived shortly thereafter with copies of the aforementioned papers and notices (the ones posted by Collier were removed by Robinson-Jordan, et al and were not to be found) clearly and implicitly informing both Jordan and Moore of the stay effected by the direct appeal to Hinds County Court under M.C.R.P 62(d) along with the date-stamped and numbered Motion to Stay filed with the Hinds County Circuit Clerk·s Office.
22. Moore and Jordan refused to cease Collier's removal from the Home in spite of the presence of documents that directed otherwise. All of Collier's personal effects. furniture, etc.. were placed in her front yard.
Mr. Moore's involvement should come as no surprise to those familiar with the Lee case. The constable "contaminated" Lee homicide crime scene before the police arrived. Earlier post.
The petition charges Bully et al with fraud, fraud in the inducement (in the alternative), duress, undue influence, malicious prosecution, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Attorney Christopher Derrick represents Jean Collier. Ali Shamsid-dunce represents Greta Bully. The case is assigned to Chancellor Dewayne Thomas. The case is in the discovery phase.
Golden Moments Management, LLC currently owns the home. Marcellus Smith formed the company on April 1, 2019. However, the Secretary of State dissolved the company in 2020 before it even took title to the property.
Kingfish note: A poor black woman trying to beat the minor black power structure of Hinds County. Let's see, we got Sutton, JPD, and of course, Moore. Who does she think she is? This case is just more evidence of the Brown crime family raping, pillaging, and killing their way through Hinds County. Remember Brown's nephew and all the breaks he got?
If Greta Bully is indeed guilty of fraud, will she be prosecuted? Can she be prosecuted? Does statute of limitations apply or is there a discovery rule? Inquiring minds want to know.

She sounds like a genuine piece of shit. I hope someone stands up to her and her family. I mean it's Hinds County and Jackson. No one really takes this place serious anymore.
I like it. It's like a board game...and much more interesting that Crechele choking his kid.
21. On August 31, 2023, in the dark of night with blue lights and LEO
I don’t believe this date has yet occurred.
Imagine if a white did this.
a democrat slugfest-
Nothing will happen to her.
Typical Jackson and Hinds County bullshit.
Send in SEAL team 6.
Because two wrongs clearly make a right when we peasants defend our preferred overlord's right to commit fraud. crime and theft.
I'm shocked nobody has made it clear that this Greta person is not as bad as Brett Favre and therefore must be considered innocent.
All skullduggery aside, Freddie Smith could only convey his undivided 1/2 interest in the property, not Jean Collier's interest.
1. Either Jean Collier's name was forged on the deed, or it was not.
2. Having established Ms. Collier's ownership interest, the parties could then litigate whether Mr. Smith's conveyance of his 1/2 interest is valid.
This could potentially be pretty simple, but it surely won't be.
Two years house arrest for murder, but plea bargained to manslaughter. Another judicial blessing.
Looks like she’s play monopoly in Jackghanistan.
I’m sorry, I don’t understand what is happening here. Mid there a reader’s digest condensed version?
The world a scary place.
Rule of law doesn’t apply here.
Life must come cheap in Jackson. Two years in your own home for a murder. If I remember right she shot the man out of the window of her car and when her gum messed up she turned around and used a different gun in a different window.

Go back to JPS and learn to read above a 4th grade level.
Her fecal discharge has no odor.
Life does indeed come cheap in Jackson. Plus Kingfish, in his opening statement classified the deceased as 'a bum'.
Bum's lives don't matter. Nobody knew him. He was nobody's son or brother or friend. Like a used Igloo cup...You fold them over and toss them in the trash. Right.
I am so glad I now live over 500 miles from the crazy people in Jackson. This is not the way the rest of the world lives.
Why haven't the family of caveman sued Ms.billy for wrongful death. That is an easy case she already pled guilty. There is a 5 year statue of limitation.
"I am so glad I now live over 500 miles from the crazy people in Jackson." You do realize that is nowhere near far enough away, don't you?
You live 500 miles away but love the ability to live here vicariously through the internet. 😂

That is incorrect.
"While it is true that the wrongful-death statute requires that all such claims be brought in one suit, each claim is subject to its own statute of limitations." Caves v. Yarbrough, 991 So. 2d 142, ¶26 (Miss. 2008).
So, if it's a WD claim for negligence, a three-year statute would apply. If for an intentional tort, such as assault/battery, a one-year statute would apply.
