Woman Sues Capitol Police for $3 Million

Did Carlos clown again? 

A woman sued the Capitol Police for $3 Million Friday in U.S. District Court.  Sherita Harris claims Capitol Police Officer Mike Maldonado shot her in the head during a traffic stop in 2022 even though she was only a passenger in the vehicle.  However, court documents indicate Maldonado might not have even been present at the traffic stop. 

Ms. Harris said she was a passenger in a vehicle traveling north on North State Street on August 14, 2022 in downtown Jackson.  The vehicle stopped at the intersection of Amite Street and North State Street.  The complaint alleges the situation suddenly turned violent: 

Defendant Maldonado approached the car from the rear. Immediately thereafter, Defendant Maldonado activated his police cruiser’s emergency lights and commanded the vehicle to pull over on the side of the road.

9. The vehicle complied with Defendant Maldonado’s commands. Shortly thereafter, Defendant Maldonado began to shoot into the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle attempted to drive away from Defendant Maldonado to escape the constant firing of bullets.

10. When the driver looked over to Plaintiff Harris, the driver noticed Plaintiff Harris slumped over in the passenger seat. Plaintiff Harris had suffered a bullet wound to the head.

11. An ambulance proceeded to take Plaintiff Harris to UMMC-Jackson. Plaintiff Harris required surgery to remove bullet fragments from her head. She remained in the hospital for approximately three (3) to four (4) days.

12. Because of Defendant Maldonado’s excessive force, Plaintiff Harris suffers severe complications with her speech, gait, and overall cognizant abilities.

The complaint charges Officer Maldonado with, assault, battery, negligence,  violating the plaintiff's 4th Amendment rights through excessive force, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.  It charges the Capitol Police with failing to train and supervise the Capitol Police officer. 

The complaint seeks $3 million.  The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Kristi Johnson.  

WLBT reported on August 19, 2022: 

The redacted incident report, provided by DPS’ legal department, identified 30-year-old Sinatra Rakim Jordan as the person now charged with a litany of crimes after apparently trying to leave during a traffic stop.

On August 14, Capitol Police Capt. Michael Maldonado requested assistance from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation for an officer-involved shooting, which took place after “police response to a traffic stop in Hinds County,” the short summary reads.

MBI, the lead agency in the case, listed on the report that Jordan is charged with disregard for traffic device, careless driving, driving while license suspended, and felony fleeing.

Attorney Carlos Moore, yes, the Carlos Moore, represents the plaintiff.  


Kingfish Note: Is this another case of Carlos Moore beclowning himself?  The Capitol Police charged Jordan with felony fleeing, possession of marijuana, and aggravated assault. The charging documents only state Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker as the arresting officer.  It also states the incident took place on Lamar Street.  The plot thickens. 


A Hinds County grand jury indicted Jordan in March 2023 for felony fleeing and...drum roll..... aggravated assault.  The indictment states:

(Count II) based upon a series of acts connected together and constituting parts of a common scheme and plan, said Sinatra Jordan being a male human being above the age of eighteen (18) years, did, on, and about the 14th day of August, 2022, in the county aforesaid and within the jurisdiction of this Court, did willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously, attempted to cause, or knowingly or recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life or purposely or knowingly caused bodily injury to Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker with a deadly weapon or other means likely to produce death or serious bodily harm, To-wit: Sinatra Jordan, attempted to cause serious bodily injury to Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker by shooting at him multiple times with a firearm, a deadly weapon at a time when Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker was acting in the course and scope of his duties as a Capitol Police Officer...

(Count III)  To-wit: Sinatra Jordan, attempted to cause serious bodily injury to Capitol Police Officer Rhine Walt by shooting at him multiple times with a firearm a deadly weapon at a time when Capitol Police Officer Rhine Walt was acting in the course and scope of his duties as a Capitol Police Officer 

 Maldonado is not even mentioned in the indictment.  Did Carlos the Clown sue the wrong guy?

Carlos making stuff up??? Nooooooooooo. That can't be as a Former President of the National Bar Association. I just looked at his facebook page. He is claiming the Captain was the one that shot his client. What a clown.

Maldonado ran for supervisor a while back. Nice guy.

It appears the lawsuit left out a few facts....

So typical.... Always looking for something for nothing.

Carlos just forgot to change the names on his police brutality lawsuit form. You know how it is when you get excited thinking you might finally get that big score... Then again, it's not the lawsuit anyway, it's the publicity. Someday Carlos is going to get the big one, then he'll get the facts straight. Just you wait.

Poor Carlos - he can't afford a law clerk to proofread his filings.

Carlos gonna clown-

“She remained in the hospital for approximately three (3) to four (4) days.”
Is it really that hard to know how many days she was actually in the hospital?

So the officer just started shooting for no apparent reason. Poor driver had to get the hell outta there because a police officer went berserk. And Carlos don't mind putting this stuff in writing. Amazing.

Anonymous said...

@3:24 - She may be unable to remember specifics due to the complications with her overall cognizant abilities. Maybe that's also why she forgot to include the minor detail that the driver of the car she was in (allegedly) fired at the officer first...

Carlos shouldn’t be allowed to practice law. Simple!!!

@1:31 PM is right on!

All Moore had to do is check MEC as I did for Sinatra Jordan. The Capitol Police warrants, affidavits, and the indictments were all there. They reported the names, addresses, and the shooting at the police officers.

Overheard after Carlos read the KF comment at 4:50 PM:

"What is MEC?"

Just like the mayor, all mouth, all scam and no truth.

I may have missed it, but did the police reports mention her being in the passenger's seat and having been shot in the head? What about the hospital records? They're discoverable. Did a UMMC psychiatrist note her lack of cognizantal recomolection?

Officer should sue Carlos for defaming him!

Wish Fingers was here to grace us with his version of "Shot in the Head by the Capitol Police."

Everyone jumping on band wagon and believing the Capitol Police version of events? No questions asked? FYI CP are the new Goon Squad. I know Maldanado personally and he’s a good guy but would never turn in a fellow officer.

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.
