Jackson Jambalaya

So she was in her car driving down the interstate (60ish MPH) and a cop was following her in his car and smelled Mary Jane through both cars separated by at least 30 or 40 feet all while traveling 60MPH? Sounds fishy.

Not a fan but even stoned out of her gourd she could do a better job than Lumumba.

Every police department in the country is sending their drug sniffing dog to the animal shelter and offering a job to Officer Chism. He can smell dope from a moving car on the Interstate! Them dogs can’t do that!

9:02 I can smell weed when a car passes when I’m driving or passing a house when passing it. Mary Jane stinks and you smell it everywhere.

matriculate

People will never learn that in Mississippi, and most other states, there is no legal requirement to submit to either a Field Sobriety Test or a field breath test, but that ignorance gets people arrested over and over again.

Having a "medical" cannabis card does not allow someone to drive under the influence. If she reaked of pot she was under the influence.

Ride a motorcycle. You would be surprised at how much skunk weed you smell, from the roads of Mississippi to the family oriented Smoky Mountains near Gatlinburg. I had to cover my nose on a balcony at the Caribe in Orange Beach. Yea, you can smell it.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to share my personal story publicly"

because she got outed.

In the second clip on WLBT's website, when she is having an 'intake' discussion with the arresting officer, she says, "I can just see this on Jackson Jambalaya."

The stuff reeks , as much as her story does !

I smell it all the time in my vehicle. Definitely skunk weed smell all over town. people ought to consider gummies or something. But that’s not cool in the hood.

@902

You can smell it driving behind one of these pot heads. It absolutely wreaks even if windows are rolled up. Also it’s a damn shame she wasn’t convicted.

No you can't. Drive by a house and 60 MPH and you're not going to smell a person smoking weed. Now you stop in front of a house with you windows down and yes, you can sell it.

She’s a democrat so she can always use Bill’s excuse and say “I never inhaled it” haaaaaahhhaaaaaaaahhhhaaaaa. Jackson has a bunch of weed smokin’, gin and juicin’ morons running the show. Y’all get ready. Soon you won’t have any useable water and your garbage is going to pile up….again. I’m really beginning to think that Stones is the only one up there that is telling the truth. He knows about the mayor and his affilliation with the dopeboys and no telling what else he knows about the rest of them. Virgi, are you behaving? Ashby? One of them has to be found doing something wrong or this is about to get racist real fast.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to share my personal story publicly."

But this thought process took eight months, which was about 250 reefers (joints, doobies) later.

I can smell it riding down the road in my vehicle as well. Sometimes even with the windows up. Now I am no professional, but I bet it is being actively partaken of when I can smell it, and not some residual from the night before. Again, no professional, but I've been around it enough recently to know what you can smell when being consumed versus dirty clothes and a little residual odor.

What trash. Endangering others on the road so she can do a Snoop Dogg impression.


No excuse for this, but then again, this IS Jackson leadership.

From the WLBT story. “While I was following the vehicle, I noticed that the passenger side tires completely crossed over the painted solid line. I initiated my blue lights to conduct a traffic stop.”

Probable Cause.

The entire country is stoned. Mayors, councilmen, doctors, nurses, cops, lawyers, judges, schoolteachers, the folk in the kitchen preparing your food, the waiters bringing your food to your table, all manner of people in positions of trust are doin’ juzz a lil bit o’ weed cuz hey, bro, chill, it’s juzz a lil bit o’ weed. Odds are the reader does too. It’s a sorry state of affairs. Must be why so many “migrants” want to come to this, the greatest country in the world ever, so they can get stoned.

A reefer in one hand and phone in the other...who's steering? Oh, that's what your legs are for.

Jackistanis think rec weed is legal everywhere. Yes, you can smell it when they pass you. Yes, I can even smell it on 55. Yes, your clothes smell like skunk weed when you walk into Char at 11am & the whole restaurant knows you are high AF.

Everybody is concerned about smelling it and not one mention of her remark re "I've been at a gathering of elected officials smoking weed", loosely quoting.

Officer Muldoon should be a scientist, judging by his recall and recitation/documentation of the elements and outcome of field sobriety testing. Not a DUI lawyer in the state is that good.

A role model for Jackson youth.

"...cop was following her in his car and smelled Mary Jane through both cars separated by at least 30 or 40 feet all while traveling 60MPH? Sounds fishy."

Not sure about smelling MJ under that circumstance, but I can smell bull-shit from that distance.

Cop should have stuck with probable cause lane-shift.

Why is this story just now surfacing - 8 months ex post facto?

To second the comments: I too can smell this stuff at intersections and red lights more often than not around here. i can smell it with my windows rolled up. it's either that or a rogue polecat just sprayed the area. I see smoke boiling out of car windows all over the metro area. They ain't fooling anybody. I'm in a medical job and half the patients I saw one day last week were high. Positive urine screen and all. THey're all dizzy, have a headache and their blood pressure is sky high. Wonder why?

The latest health alert:

"Frequent cannabis smoking may significantly increase a person’s risk for heart attack and stroke, according to an observational study supported by the National Institutes of Health. The study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, uses data from nearly 435,000 American adults, and is among the largest ever to explore the relationship between cannabis and cardiovascular events."

But it's "medicine." Follow the money.

@8:36
It could well be the smell from the back of the restaurant where the back house staff is getting up before the lunch rush.

"But, but, but, it's my medicine."

It's always been about fully legalizing weed.

Just wait a minute. If you watch "On Patrol Live" you will learn that Capt. Danny Brown of the Richland Co. Sheriff's Dept. can smell reefer coming from other cars while driving down the road or from the other side of a parking lot.

As a taxpayer of Jackson I think we should demand ALL city employees be drug screened from the mayor and on down to the list. EVERYONE. With that being said I’m wondering what other elected officials were high. That was on a Friday morning people. No wonder this city is a shit hole third world country.

A DUI is a DUI and I'm not defending that at all but I guarantee that 9 out 10 people in here hating on marijuana smell like booze at church on Sunday morning. Check yourself and wake up.

So she was pulled over at 0210. Isn't that 2:10am....in the morning ?
And do I read this correctly that she was driving north on I-55 in Madison on her way home to her kids ? I thought you had to live in Jackson to be a member of the Jackson City Council. I seem to recall when she initially ran for City Council that there was a question about where she actually lived/lives, and she claimed she lived with her parents in Jackson.
And if she's struggling so much financially that she has to live with her parents, how can she afford a BMW 5 series ?
So many questions.

It is in fact not unusual to smell the newer more potent grades of weed, even at some distance. At Bass Pro Shop recently, myself and the gentleman at the counter processing my purchase immediately detected the obnoxious smell on a small group of engineers and scientists from 20 feet away. They were there to buy a gun. Anyway, I smell it all the time while driving. The fact that Council person Lee was the only car in the vicinity was unfortunate for her. From there, establishing probable cause for a stop is easy because all it takes is for her or anyone to cross a line, however slightly, are change lanes without signaling. That’s cop training 101. Body cam recording then supplies all of the details to be articulated in the report. Profiles in criminality is what cops are taught. Smell or see something suspicious, follow until even the slightest traffic infraction gives probable cause to stop. Ask for permission to search and/or ask for consent to conduct field sobriety testing, a series of tests so ludicrous and impossible under the circumstances of a police stop that most sober people couldn’t complete without giving clues or indicators. Most people are not aware that they can just simply refuse, and cops are trained not to divulge this fact at a roadside stop. Honest cops will readily admit that the field sobriety test is designed to trigger indicators or clues to show someone is impaired. It’s not science, it’s a trap. Don’t don’t it ever. Don’t willing give cops evidence they will use to convict you. Sure, they will charge you with refusal if you don’t but that’s a better outcome than willingly participating in a junk science exercise on the side of the road with lights flashing and a bright light being shined into your eyes, which you will inevitably fail in some part and be charged with and likely convicted for DUI. Meanwhile, when driving through Madison, be sure and waive at the father and son interdiction duo who sit on the interstate scanning every tag that passes, hoping one pops on their pre constructed “hot list” of potential criminals. You’re tag is put on the “hot list” if they just don’t like you, or your tag has been captured by one or more of the thousands of license plate readers around the state and country traveling to/from the “wrong places” like Texas or even the wrong parts of Jackson. Cleverly concealed license plate readers all across the country allow law enforcement to know and profile your travels, and if your travel fits within their profile of criminality, then your tag goes on a “hot list.” But, hey, if you’re not doing anything wrong you’ve got nothing to worry about, right? Consider one of those tinted license plate covers if you don’t like being surveilled every time to you drive. It may get you a minor ticket for instructing your plate but that’s better than allowing the surveillance state to constantly track your movements.

Drunken idiot!

If yall ever smoke pot and then have sex or eat a Hostess cupcake, you would understand. Just kidding just kidding LOL

So she has no more sense than to keep her weed at home and Banks driving drunk. These are also the two that are griping about a water utility and the revenue the COJ won't be in control of. News flash, you couple of mind-altered idiots, revenue from the water system is supposed to go TO the water system. That revenue has a place and a purpose, but you boneheads don't seem to understand that while you battle your own addictions and misbehave as elected officials, you'd drive the water system back into the ground through misspent funds all over again. I hope to GOD that this bill passes and you fools have no say in the matter anymore.

For all you pot heads that doubt the ability to smell pot while traveling down the road, the words for that is smell adaptation. You are around it so much, it has lost its odor.

A drug screen for every city, county, and state employee. Now. Without prior warning.
Tangible consequences for failure, and I don't mean tax payer funded drug rehab, I mean loss of employment and possible investigation and prosecution of malfeasance in office.
How y'all like them apples?

Wait a minute.

Where does exactly Ms. Lee live? Traveling on I55N in Madison County home in the wee hours??

And she was smoking at an elected officials' gathering. What??

"...but I guarantee that 9 out 10 people in here hating on marijuana smell like booze at church on Sunday morning. Check yourself and wake up."

Maybe in YOUR world... I shudder to think which world that might be.

Even in the all-minority rural slum where I grew up, most people (and certainly not 90%) did not smell of booze, during Sunday morning services. In fact, I don't remember a single person's "reeking". I got dragged to a lot of churches, too. Church was a great place for my mom and grandmother to meet men, and bringing a child (me) made their presence seem legit.

We were disreputable folk, seeking other disreputable folk, at downmarket churches. And STILL, I don't recall any Sunday morning drunks or "reekers". NINE OUT OF TEN? Do you even understand that you're describing a percentage? Do you even understand the CONCEPT of percentages?

In my adult post-college life, DH and I returned to a non-Christian faith, where drinking was not forbidden, but was considered a stupid, anachronistic behavior for primitive, self-destructive people whom we shunned. This meshed perfectly with the upmarket Christians around us, who viewed alcohol (and sugar, and tobacco, and the frying of food, and drugs, and insecticides, and pasteurized fruit juices, and enzyme detergents, and...) as being stupid.

'Our Eastover World' (which segued into 'Our Madison World', as life in Jackson grew increasingly problematic) was one of gymbunnies who cooked using steamers and Cuisinarts, did not drink, did not smoke, and did not tolerate those who used recreational drugs (there was, in fact, intense HATRED of drugs and druggies). Churchgoing was sporadic for most, and plenty had no religious affiliations. This is to refute your assertion that, "...9 out 10 people in here hating on marijuana smell like booze at church on Sunday morning."

The Eastover/Madison crowd constitute a sizeable portion of those posting here. Since we left Mississippi, the most significant changes in their opinions and behaviors, would appear to be that they are now (post-2020) seeking to avoid ALL carbohydrates, and ALL drugs (even the non-psychotropic prescription ones: their conceptual model of Human Health having shifted farther on the continuum, in the direction of 'Terrain Theory').

I'm pretty sure that "9 out of 10 people" "hating on marijuana smell", aren't even IN church on Sunday mornings. I'm disputing the PERCENTAGE, here, not the probability that many or most attend Sunday morning services. You named a specific percentage, rather than a more subjective term like 'Many' or 'Most'. Possibly, if your thinking were not so clouded by whatever is clouding it, you'd realize how foggy and illogical your statement sounds.

You don't drive through the water works curve, down Lakeland Drive, or anywhere else for that matter, do 'ya?

At intersections and red lights maybe, ain't no body smelling it from a single person smoking it in a car 30-40 feet a head of them traveling 60 MPH and mostly likely, since it was June, the officer had his windows up and AC on.

It's cool to say, "I can smell it from other cars on the road" but that's not reality. You folks are probably the same people who see black panthers every time you go hunting.

Here's what happened, a car traveling at 2AM with a single female is likely a cop's wet dream for making a DUI arrest. The cop followed her and saw her drive erratically and pulled her over. I've got no beef with it, but he didn't smell week from his car going 60 MPH. I just call BS when i see it.

So, who else thinks someone else at this elected officials event witnessed her partaking of the weed and called their law enforcement buddies to be on the lookout?

@3:51, you can call bs all you want to buddy but I have smelled it going down the road myself. You’re just angry because someone has smelled it coming from your vehicle. Anyway, she admitted she had smoked it so your bs comment is…just bs.

Thank you

She screwed up. She paid her dues. She embarrassed herself and her family. She learned a lesson and maybe she can help others avoid the same mess-up. I won’t mention throwing stones here. I suspect most of us remember that Bible lesson.

She got the dui charge non adjudicated. If she had wrecked and killed someone the next time she was high out of her gourd how would that look in court as she is lead in with handcuffs? Would the family of the potential victim been able to go after the judge? Where does Carlos fit in in all of this….oops. I spoke too soon. Dammit.

Obvious political angle to this. And the Madison Police Dept leaks like a busted dam, especially when certain people there have an axe to grind with someone. I’ve known them to go so far as to dig up expunged records from years ago and use those records for a rank smear campaign. Your desire for privacy, even your right to privacy, means nothing when you have police department hillbillies who don’t respect rights.

I am curious as to why Madison PD kept her mug shot out of the arrest and why they kept this hid. She is a council woman from the worst ran cities in our state, that’s all. I wonder what else they have hid from the tax payers of our city, the one that I once thought was the best ran cities?

I stand by my earlier comment. On multiple occasions I have been driving on highways and interstates, and I have passed cars, and been passed by cars, and I smell weed. The smell of the new cannabis is so much stronger than the old school stuff. Their car stinks, rheir house stinks, and their clothes stink. You tokers walk around (or drive around) and you are like Pepé Le Pew emitting a freaking trail of skunk stink.

Love it! Madison a well run city!

Then you should consider hiding your keys from the wife and kids.

3:51,
Yes, I have smelled it while in a moving vehicle and it appeared to be emanating from a car or cars in front of me. the stuff stinks and it doesn't take a bloodhound to detect it.
Also, some people drive on the interstate with their windows down in the hot summer. Why? I don't know. Maybe their AC is broke. Point is, yes, people can smell it when someone is driving near them and smoking it.

She is over 21 and should not have been adjudicated! Sends wrong message to youth!

Mississippi law has an implied consent disclaimer. If you decline the official blow-test at the station, you're guilty of DUI. That's alcohol.

Since there is no blow-test for Cannabis indulgence, does this same disclaimer cover refusal to submit to a urinalysis or hair test?

They can't perform a blood test except when a fatality is involved, absent a consent or a court order, otherwise.

She was a fool to submit to a field sobriety test, which, alone, is not evidence of DUI, even with this super-knowledgeable cop's observations, suspicions and superior nasal function.

Instead of all the opining Waterworks-Sniffers, I'd like to hear from someone like Victor Carmody.

All of Jackson seems to smell of weed these days. What a talented nostril he must have to pinpoint which car. Can’t drive down Capitol or State street without smelling weed but one random car on the interstate can be identified as the source???

I wonder who dropped the dime on her ? Because they kept it quiet. I first heard it on the Kim Wade Show.
