Jenkins & Parker Sue Rankin County, Sheriff, & Deputies for $400 Million

Note: This post was originally posted yesterday at 7:10 PM.  JJ only posted the lawsuit.  The post has been "bumped" to include coverage of the lawsuit. 

 "The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature." General Gorman in Apocalypse Now.

Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Parker sued Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey and Rankin County Deputies Brett McAlpin, Hunter Elward, Christian Demond, and several John Doe deputies in U.S. District Court today for Section 1983 violations such as the use of excessive force and depriving the plaintiffs of their civil rights. The lawsuit accuses the deputies of torturing them as well as shooting one man in the mouth while they were handcuffed. The complaint seeks $400 million in damages.

The complaint states six Rankin County deputies raided the home at 135 Conerly Road in Braxton on January 24, 2023 between 9:30 and 10:00 PM where Eddie Parker and Michael Jenkins lived.  The plaintiffs claim the deputies did not have a search warrant when they "forcibly" entered the home.  The complaint identifies Brett McAplin, Christian Dedmon, and Hunter Elward as three of the deputies.  It names the others as "John Does."  The deputies are white while the plaintiffs are black.

The home was no stranger to Rankin deputies as it earned the reputation of a "drug house." The residence has been the scene of murder, domestic violence, and various drug offenses over the years.  Earlier post.

The deputies allegedly deactivated their body cameras and spirited away the home's video recording equipment.  What took place after the deputies arrived was nothing less than a night of torture for Jenkins and Perkins. The complaint alleges the deputies accused the two black men of dating "white women."  The law enforcement officers handcuffed the two men before allegedly slapping, punching, and kicking them.Verbal abuse accompanied the physical abuse as the deputies repeatedly called Jenkins and Parker the "n" word and said they were a member of a particular primate species. The torture session allegedly lasted for nearly two hours.

Not satisfied with using their hands and feet to abuse Parker and Jenkins, the deputies moved on to using 21st century torture techniques,  McAlpin, Dedmon, and other deputies repeatedly fired tasers 20-30 times into Jenkins and Parker. The complaint said the deputies participated in a "sadistic contest" to see which taser worked the best on the two men. 

Bored with the tasing, the deputies allegedly moved on to the CIA's favorite torture trick: waterboarding but with a Rankin County twist: they used milk.  Unfortunately for Jenkins and Parker, the worst was yet to come. 

The complaint alleges the deputies tried to force a dildo into the mouths of the plaintiffs but were unsuccessful. Beaten but not broken, they turned Jenkins over so they could insert the dildo from behind but found the victim had crapped on himself.  Unable to rape the men with the dildo, the deputies threw eggs at the captive men.  Some type of light bulb must have went off somewhere in someone's head because the deputies realized they might have gone too far and allegedly forced Parker and Jenkins to "strip naked and shower together" in an attempt to clean up the evidence of the law enforcement misdeeds.  Unfortunately for the two Braxton residents, the worst was yet to come. The complaint charges: 

53. At the crescendo of this nearly two-hour torture session, on January 24, 2023, at around 11:40 p.m., Plaintiffs allege that RANKIN COUNTY deputy Hunter Elward shoved his service weapon inside Michael Jenkins's mouth while he was handcuffed.

54. Rankin deputy HUNTER ELWARD spoke angrily to MICHAEL JENKINS, and then ELWARD shot JENKINS
inside his mouth.

55. ELWARD, under the color of law, intentionally shot handcuffed MICHAEL COREY JENKINS in the
mouth, almost killing him.

56. RANKIN COUNTY Deputies MC’ALPIN, DEDMON, and DEPUTIES JOHN DOE’S 1-3 conspired, aided, and abetted ELWARD in shooting MICHAEL JENKINS inside his mouth.

57. ELWARD’s gunshot inside JENKINS mouth shattered JENKINS’ jaw and severely lacerated his tongue. Several of Michael's arteries were severely damaged, and he almost died.

No deputies intervened nor tried to leave during the entire episode.  No deputies tried to provide medical care to Jenkins after he was shot.  He did not receive medical care until EMT's took him to UMMC.  The complaint describes Jenkins' injuries: 

Unfortunately, JENKINS has suffered permanent physical injuries, permanent cognitive damage, long-term psychological damage, permanent disfigurement, and impairment. One side of JENKINS face suffers permanent nerve damage and numbness.  PARKER has suffered. Eddie Parker suffered injuries from his mistreatment and sought prompt medical attention.
The defendants allegedly tried to cover up their misdeeds as they filed a phony affidavit of criminal charges against the defendant the next day. They claim Jenkins pointed a gun at Elward.  A January 25 MBI press release stated: 

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred on January 24th, 2023, at approximately 11:45 p.m. near 135 Conerly Road in Braxton, Mississippi.

Rankin County Sheriff’s Department deputies were conducting a narcotics investigation when they encountered a subject that displayed a gun towards the deputies. The subject was transported to a nearby hospital. The officers received no injuries.

MBI is currently assessing this critical incident and gathering evidence. Upon completing the investigation, agents will share their findings with the Attorney General’s Office.
The plaintiffs state they never possessed any weapons.

The plaintiffs charge the defendants with 13 counts.  The counts are posted below (The defendants are the deputies unless otherwise stated.):

* Depriving plaintiffs of civil rights with excessive force under Section 1983. 

* Deprivation of civil rights under Section 1983. 

* Deprivation of civil rights under Section 1983 through excessive use of taser

* Deprivation of civil rights under Section 1983 through physical assaults

* Unreasonable seizure, excessive force through waterboarding

* Sexual assault, excessive force, unreasonable seizure

* Excessive force: threats to kill

* Violation of the Equal Protection Clause on the basis of race. 

* Failure to intervene

* Failure to train, supervise, and discipline- Sheriff Bryan Bailey. 

* Municipal liability for unconstitutional practices - Rankin County

* False imprisonment

* Assault and battery

* Intentional infliction of emotional distress. 

 The attorneys for Jenkins and Parker are Trent Walker of Jackson and Malik Shabazz of Texas.  The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate.   

 



Note: The complaint makes several references to another lawsuit involving the Rankin County Sheriff, Barrett v. Pelahatchie, et al.  JJ reported in 2019: 

Rankin County deputies shot a man who pointed a firearm at a law enforcement officer today in Pelahatchie.  Police Chief Joe Daughtry said police responded to a call reporting shots fired.  The standoff lasted for over an hour.  Tear gas was eventually used in the house, forcing the suspect to emerge.  Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey said the suspect pointed a firearm at a law enforcement officer.  The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation will investigate the shooting.  Chief Daughtry and Sheriff Bailey provided more information at a brief press conference. Earlier post.

Pierre Wood's estate and children sued Pelahatchie, Rankin County, Pelahatchie Police Chief Joseph Daughtery, Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey, and several Rankin County deputies, including Dedmon and Elward.  

The plaintiffs claim Woods threw his gun to the ground upon exiting the home.  The police allegedly shot him to death even though he was unarmed.  Sheriff Bailey and other deputies claimed they only fired upon Woods when he was in the home and armed as they argued they were protected by qualified immunity.  However, Judge Wingate said a video of the shooting overcame their presumption of immunity.  The defendants appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

Kingfish note: MBI is investigating the case and will forward its findings to the Attorney General.  If these allegations are true, and the Kingfish has heard rumblings in the law enforcement community a good portion of them are indeed true,  throw the book at them.  JJ confirmed the cameras were indeed turned off during the night in question.  If the deputies turned off their cameras, that's on them and they deserve whatever comes their way.  Those cameras are there for a reason.  Although the complaint is just one side of the case, no citizen should have to suffer what those two men endured that night and that, my friends, is the bottom line.

The county has sovereign immunity and is limited in what they can be liable for. Not sure if the officers involved enjoy the same protection especially if they were operating outside of what's considered SOP. So one side of this is the money side but more importantly, if this is their normal tactic then hopefully this will wake folks up enough to demand some reform. I don't keep up as closely as I guess I should in following Rankin County law enforcement but by reading this, it appears they have something of a history. $400mm seems a bit extravagant but I know they normally shoot the moon and will settle for much less. Will be interesting to follow.

Making the taxpayers pay for these crimes isn’t right and it isn’t teaching the police anything. We need corporal punishment in cases like this so officers have some skin on the line. Line them all up in the town square, put them in stocks, and provide dildos and tasers for the black citizens of Rankin to get some payback. It’s only fair and might finally teach some accountability to these thugs.

Not to worry guys, as bad as this sounds, the police investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing. We can all sleep a little easier knowing these heroes are out there to protect and serve us.

I’m betting the IQ level in Rankin County’s at a level high enough that we won’t hear much at all about defunding or abolishing the police.

If officers used water boarding dildos etc then they’re PIGs and should be dealt with. But Rankin County’s not dumb enough to throw the baby out with the bath water.

This one will be interesting to watch proceed to see if the provable facts align with the allegations. The plaintiffs might want to consider finding counsel more well versed in 5th Circuit 1983 law because this case won't see a jury in Jackson without a roundtrip through 600 Camp Street.

Any chance this Dedmon deputy is related to the young Dedmon fool who was convicted of a hate crime for hit and run murder in Jackson a few years ago?

Performative BS. This case settles for less than $100k if the defense lawyers don't want to fight it all the way. Bringing claims for $400 million is just a joke and another reason the public has lost faith in the legal profession.

As 7:19 said, I don't want tax money spent defending these monsters.

Why would we defend these officers if the facts show they committed horrible crimes? I am all for supporting LEO when the facts are unclear.

But if they did even half of this, let them face the consequences or bankrupt their own damn families. Including whomever sent them to this home.

How much would police have to pay you to waterboard, rape, tase, beat, and shoot you? Is your number lower than $400 million, mine isn’t. $400 million of white Rankin county citizens’ money will hopefully help these victims feel some sense of justice. Hopefully they spend that money outside this shithole state and never look back.

What has happened to our police? They used to be respected, but now I guess we just know better. Every police officer in the state should be willing to turn in their fellow gang members when they rape, assault, and murder and yet the “good ones” never do.

We have to be able to hold bad police officers accountable and that starts with the good cops, if any are left out there.

$400 million divided by the rankin county population of 158,000 will come out to about $2500 per each citizen. It would be fitting to see these men get their payments from all those who funded these terrorists. Until Rankin county learns to respect people no matter the color of their skin, they really don’t need to spend money on anything else anyway so they should be good for a couple more decades.

If this is true, then this sounds more like someone didn’t get their cut/share rather than RCSO just randomly messing with people (tin foil hat time).

@12:57 - the officers statements don’t match up with the evidence. There is a report somewhere that shows how many times these officers fired their tasers over the 2 hour time period. That blows a hole in the official narrative they came up with. Clearly they at a minimum tased these guys multiple times for hours and shot one of them in the mouth after the tasing. Since they lied about that, it doesn’t really matter what else they say since they are proven liars.

Imagine, if you will (that's my best Rod Serling voice), a deputy so enraged by a seated, handcuffed prisoner, that he put a pistol in the mouth of the prisoner and pulled the trigger.

Would be interesting to learn this deputy's background and whether and where he served in the military and whether he was a guard in a prisoner camp that allowed waterboarding and such.

If even a third of this shit is true, these badge-wearing goons are worse than kids that set dogs on fire and people who set fire to occupied houses and stand in the street watching them burn.

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.
