Feds Search D.A.'s Office (Updated)

 The Fibbers are executing a search warrant on the Hinds County District Attorney's office and the Downtown Cigar Company on Pearl Street. Mr. Owens owns the cigar bar.  



Kingfish note: Speculation time.  Check out this entry for Tonarri Moore in his case:  "Sentencing is postponed until a later date. NO FURTHER WRITTEN ORDER TO FOLLOW. Signed by District Judge Kristi H. Johnson on 5/20/24."

Torrence Mayfield saw his case continued last week as well. 

 Update (7:00 PM): Hinds County District Attorney issued the following statement. 

This morning, FBI agents came to our offices.  We are fully cooperating with their efforts.  The Hinds County District Attorney's Office is fully functioning and continues its work on behalf of the citizens of Hinds County. That has been and will continue to be our primary focus.  Currently, we have no further statements.

Kind of like when Puffy's place got visited- 50 Cent said:

"Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done," "They don't come like that unless they got a case."




The Hinds County DA knows it:

"They don't come like that unless they got a case."

That place is a huge issue for downtown. Loads of cars parked on side of street and in middle of road blocking traffic. Thalia Mara hall is near this and people couldn’t get through that nights they had a sold out show and also it’s a drug haven apparently. Loud music thumping and girls in short skirts all over the place inside

Soros didn't pour a lot of money into Owens' campaign because Owens was a "law and order type" who would fully follow the laws of the State of Mississippi...

Anonymous said...

9:08, I'm intrigued for the answer to that question, also.

Kingfish said...

My understanding was the Soros crew put money into a PAC for the DA because he was a friend of Colum's, not because he is a soft on crime guy. He has not been acting as a typical Soros DA. He's been pretty tough on crime and not gone easy on criminals.

This is all for show!!! You and I both know that Chokwe will just get it taken care of and call the people at the top and Owens will walk. Chokwe has more power respect and influence than Tate and Delbert. I’m m betting Chokwe has more pull power than any politician in Mississippi outside of Bennie. Believe me when Chokwe calls these power guys answer.

I agree with the Fish, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at Owen’s performance. He’s far from ideal, but much better than I expected.

Robert Shuler Smith was the most obviously corrupt DA you could imagine but no one raided him, or even said much about him (other than this website). Go figure.

@10:00 -- you have obviously been spending too much time at the Cigar Bar and let the atmosphere get to your brain - if you really think Baby Chock has any influence or power.

Granted, he and his sycophants thought he did, but learned their lesson when the EPA and DOJ dropped the hammer on his operations last fall following the fall (see what I did there??) of his utility systems.

Baby Chock, a frequent visitor to the Cigar Bar among other places with the crowd, might be expecting the SUV's to be outside his office soon.

the feds eventually showed up in about 2007 or 08 after peters had resigned as DA and went into private practice.

at that point peters colluded with and criminally conspired with hinds country circuit judge bobby delaughter to throw a million dollar civil case to the plaintiffs, represented by peters.

you must be kinda young if you dont remember that .

Anonymous said...

Bill Deese - I guess by your theory on ownership/leassor of the Cigar Bar the same should be applied to the DA's office? And 'other' locations?

Jody only 'owns' the DA office, but doesn't operate it would be the implication / connection?

If this had been a white conservative attorney getting raided by the FBI, half the comments would talk about political witch hunts and Biden’s DOJ interfering with political opponents and how racist they are. Daniel Gardner would write a column comparing the fbi to the Nazi Schutzstaffel. It’s very peculiar.

I'm not sure which stinks more, the Mayor's racism and weed/cigar stank, or the raw sewage flowing throughout Jackson. In any case, the last thing taxpayers and actual health insurance rate payers need is more booze, weed, or tobacco in the People's Republic of Kush.

Here's another thing that's funny Bill Dees: The Department of Revenue has a little search function that can return information on Alcoholic Beverage Control licensing information on what entity holds a license. In the case of 159 E Pearl St JAckson, the DBA with the ABC license appeaers to be a "Downtown Cigar Company".

so he has had this side hustle going since before he first became DA

in all his online bio's he never mentions being any sort of a businessman. all that info is quietly buried at the sec of states office.

he only crows about all his work with the southern poverty law group , which is nothing but a political hacker organization .

one would think he would get rid of his vice club once he became DA , but thats not how the little third world country of hinds county works.

Didn't see anything on DOR ABC site that had publicly facing search.

However, Landroll Details are searchable. I first searched the address of Downtown Daquiri and Pizza and got the owner as CO2 Investments LLC. I plugged that into the SOS database but didn't come back with a business entity. So I went back to Google Maps and put in Downtown Cigar Company and got Perinatal Services PLLC one that had been dissolved and one in good standing. So I checked out the one in Good Standing and guess who is the owner?

@2:42 - I actually think the FBI is incredibly professional and does their job well. I don’t think there is anything racist about 99.99999% pf the work they do. They obviously have a case here and I am interested to see what they have uncovered. I’m just appalled at how many Republicans and specially MAGA Republicans are willing to completely ignore the facts when it’s their man getting raided. Anyone who uses their elected position corruptly for personal gain should be prosecuted and given maximum sentences for their breach of trust. Same goes for dirty cops.

here's a reasonable inference on how owens runs the scam............................

you are a dope dealer......

you spend you time every night drinking , smoking cigars and partying the chicks at the downtown cigar cafe

you spend as much money in there as the lobbyists do at tico's during a legislative session.

you become a really good ''cu$tomer'' after dropping about $5000 a month in there , month in and month out.

after awhile you achieve frequent flyer, preferred customer status.

then you get busted by the cops

well, then you talk it over with owens at his bar where you been dropping thousands per month.

and suddenly the case disappears, or is cut down to pretrial diversion, or maybe reduced to a misdemeanor .


thats precisely why owning a place like the cigar and daiquiri bar is , buy definition, and at a minimum , a conflict of interests for someone who is a district attorney.

That is reasonable but I’m not sure that’s enough to justify the feds inquiry into banks and lee?

The mayor fought for Richard’s garbage like the mayor owned Richard’s garbage. There is no reason for the mayor to go to bat for a garbage contract - to include shutting the service down - unless the mayor is getting paid by Richards.

I think your theory may be a part of the feds inquiry.

I also think the feds want to see the books of the 2 businesses owned by Jody to see where his revenue comes from? Maybe it’s from thugs? Maybe it’s also that the garbage money moves through cigars and pizzas.

The mayor and Jody are buddy buddy.

Only one not raided ? Richard’s. Wonder what he said to the feds?

If I had to guess (you can call it a conspiracy theory, but it's really just a guess), but for the Feds to raid that little cigar shop, there must be some evidence of major money laundering going on--likely drug money...kinda like the Los Pollos Hermanos on Breaking Bad.

@3:33 / that’s a whole lot of “what abouts” that are completely unrelated to this topic, but if you want to know my positions, I’ll humor you.

The Supreme Court has major issues. The Republicans stole a seat from the dems and lied about their intentions. They used that deceit to change a precedent that the vast majority of Americans didn’t want changed. The Supreme Court has a ruined reputation at this point with major questions about who is buying their influence. The recent stories about Scalia and Thomas are concerning. I think there needs to be major reform here as the current court doesn’t have much credibility left.

Defund the police. I don’t agree that police are not needed, but clearly there is a need for major reforms. Take a look at Rankin County or the highway patrol. There are still way to many despicable cops and more reform is needed. I’d be fine with increasing sentences for violence against police as long as the bad officers are also held accountable for their crimes. Policing shouldn’t be an us vs them. If a police officer is caught lying on a police report, that should be the end of their policing career and they should be charged with the same crime they tried to put on the innocent civilian. The good cops should want this as well instead of trying to protect the criminals in their ranks.

Jackson - no, I do not live or own property in Jackson. I do visit Jackson nearly every day for one reason or another.

Capitol Police - This is a weird deal for me. Better policing is desperately needed in Jackson, so overall I think it is a benefit. The only issue I really have with the setup is it seems they are only authorized to operate in primarily white neighborhoods. I think people in other parts of the city can rightfully be upset with that for many reasons. I am also empathetic to people who feel their city is being policed by an organization they have no say in. I doubt Madison would like if the state setup a Soros funded police department that didn’t share their same values. I can understand that feeling of being occupied by an outside force.

Transgender - I respect people’s choice to do as they please. I don’t think they should be allowed to compete in women’s athletic competitions, but I see no issues with them using female bathrooms. I can’t imagine any man willing to turn himself into a female just to spy on them in a bathroom. I’m sure there’s been a case somewhere where an issue has arisen, but generally Clergy, relatives, coaches, and other adults in positions of authority are far more likely to be dangerous for the youth.

Inflation - I don’t see much difference in the amounts spent between democrats and MAGA’s. The difference is where that money goes. I’d rather the money went to people in need instead of the wealthy donors and corporations. We have a growing divide between the haves and have nots and I haven’t seen anything in the MAGA agenda that addresses this. When people in need get that money instead of billionaires, it actually does trickle up since the money is spent instead of being stashed in an account. Reganomics was the major turning point that allowed the wealth divide to grow as large as it has today. At some point, corporations will own the vast majority of resources including housing and that’s not going to be a stable system.

What was going on in the secret room with the hidden door that was discovered at the cigar joint? Dice? Cards? Sports betting? Finalizing of city contracts?

Why don’t we just require annual audits by major accounting firms of the state’s and cities’ budgets. The fraud will become very apparent. That’s not to say that major accounting firms don’t ever participate in faud, but it’s a generally accepted and trustworthy practice.

Press Release: "Due to some unfortunate events, Jackson has decided that an interim mayor must be named. Again, due to some additional unfortunate events, that replacement is currently being investigated. Once all potential interim candidates/replacements have been cleared by the FBI, an interim mayor will be named."

@7:40 - Would you want a link to polls or would you like a link to states’ vote results where the issue has been on the ballot? You can google this yourself as well if you don’t require the hand holding.

All is so quiet about the mayor's involvement in this very hush hush matter. What was found during the search at city hall and where did it come from? Stay tuned for some shock an awe.

That's twice someone has mentioned search at city hall. Nobody is reporting that. Am I missing something? The only searches were at the DA's office and his business.

5:09 pm, where are you getting the news that city hall was searched?

Speaking of the Scruggs, Balducci, Langston, Patterson, Backstrom group.....

Langston's son, Keaton, just got busted for huge 4 year fraud on Medicare (more than $51 million).

"The Supreme Court has major issues. The Republicans stole a seat from the dems"

Where did you get the idea the U.S. Supreme Court seats were assigned? I will hang-up and listen.

All right, you've had enough fun. No more national politics. get back to the subject of the post .

My thoughts are that the people involved, the DA et al probably did not send their money through the government’s laundry service (the IRS)! Too many luxuries and the money reported not adding up!

I’ll put $100 on money laundering.

I will put $100 on multiple elected officials accepting bribe money to make a real estate deal happen for out of town pretend to be developers.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
