Accused Parham Bridges Killer Going to Prison

A wee bit of justice was served on Daveon Lindsey in Madison County Circuit Court yesterday.  


Circuit Judge Dewey Arthur sentenced Lindsey to serve seven years in prison for burglary.  A Madison County grand jury indicted Lindsey for burglarizing Papitos Restaurant on August 3, 2023.  The defendant pleaded guilty in January.  However, Judge Arthur withheld the guilty plea and placed Lindsey in a non-adjudication program.  Lindsey received a probation term of five years as part of his sentence.  
Lindsey squandered his good fortune and was arrested for allegedly killing Melvin McNair, Jr. at Parham Bridges Park on May 15.  JPD spotted Lindsey and  a violent pursuit ensued as Lindsey fled, determined to avoid capture.  He flew down the frontage road and interstate.  He wound up on East County Line Road and turned south on Ridgewood.  He rammed a civilian's vehicle by Adkins.  

JPD immediately apprehended Lindsey. To say "there was no shame in his game" is a perfect description of McNair's killer. A witness said he was smiling when captured.  Chief Wade said McNair's blood was on Lindsey's clothes, Lindsey had several of the victim's credit cards, and was driving his truck in the vicinity of the murder when spotted.  He confessed to the murder after capture.

JPD charged Lindsey with capital murder, armed carjacking, and felony evasion.  



Lindsey's deadly escape got the attention of the Madison District Attorney.  Assistant Madison County District Attorney Todd McAlpin filed a motion to adjudicate on Lindsey and revoke his probation on May 24.  

Judge Arthur held a hearing yesterday and pronounced sentence on Daveon Lindsey.  The Court sentenced the defendant to serve the maximum sentence of seven years in prison.

Judge Arthur was a day late and a dollar short on this one and cost a guy his life.

He would be the definition of a “feral dog “ and needs to be put down.

7.....SEVEN.....7.....SEVEN YEARS!!!?????

What in the world...after all that he has done....only 7 years!!!

He WILL kill again in his long and full life and this is on the Judge's HEAD (as well as his) when he reaches the God's judgement seat, I'm sure.

same song, different verse. Why judges continue to let these criminals go (give them a "second chance") is beyond my comprehension. These folks only know one thing: force. The only way they're not going to do it or something similar again is if they're prevented from doing it by being behind bards. If they know they can "get by" with something, they're going to do it again and again.

I'd like to know how many criminals who escape incarceration via non-adjudication / probation are later (or sooner) arrested for another crime(s). I'd be willing to bet it approaches 100%

@11:22 Tell me you don't know the criminal system without saying you don't know it. He got seven years on his prior crime in Madison County for burglary. He has not been tried or sentenced for the murder yet. DA and I don't mean District Attorney

@11:16

7 years for the burglary, which is a lot (without knowing the sentence was a result of violating the terms of non-adjudication)...He hasn't yet been prosecuted for the murder.

KF, did this young man have anything else on his record? Usually, folks who do heinous stuff like him (considering he's confessed to the murder) have extensive rap sheets and are still "blessed" by the court to be on probation.

11:22, his probation was revoked for his previous crime of burglary. That is his 7 years. He still will go to trial for the Parham Bridges murder, et al. This just means he will be in jail NOW and not have the ability to be released on bond before he stands trial for the other crimes.

Seven years for murder? This is not justice.

Anonymous said...

11:22: He has not faced trial for the murder yet. As the post states, this is for the burglary committed previous to the murder.

Do you understand he is still facing capital murder and other charges?

If only there wasn't one of those deadly gas stations nearby that murder in the park would have never happened.

@11:22 I believe 7 years is the maximum sentence for a burglary of this nature (non-dwelling or auto). And this is just talking about the sentence for the Ridgeland Papitos burglary, not for the murder of Melvin McNair Jr. Hopefully this worthless thug will be staying in prison for life after he is convicted or pleads guilty to that senseless act.

Please locate a windowless masonry wall, set up a 50 cal anti aircraft gun on a tripod, tie the varmint to a post in front of the wall, bring in a volunteer executioner, blast this subhuman straight to hell.

Maybe next time the judge won't let himself get cucked into giving probation for a criminal that has made the conscious choice to victimize the increasingly shrinking minority of productive people in the metro area.

This fool thunk he was going to sit in the Hinds County bed and breakfast until his Capital Murder case in Hinds County was heard! However a Judge in Madison County sent his dumb ignorant ass to the big boy prison on the previous Madison County charges.

Big Mama showed y’all asses the county boundaries, but naw y’all cannot read the signs that say leaving Hinds County!!!

He’ll get less than 7 on the murder in hinds if this young potential rocket scientist scholar is in line for a blessing.

I wish reCaptcha could learn the difference in a motorcycle and a damn moped.

Regarding his initial blessing on the original restaurant burglary charge, I thought the surrounding counties were tough on crime. Not so any longer in Madison County?

1:04 This is not only in Mississippi. This is all in Democrat ran cities who have DA's that are soft on crime. See Atlanta, New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Oakland, etc.

Glad Madison did this. With he would have been in jail instead of probation. Victim would still be alive.

We DID get out - only to see our demographically-ideal new metropolis deliberately sabotaged. Our wealthy exurb is holding, but the city's center, once walkable and trendy and envied-by-all, is basically GONE. Currently, every good place remaining in America, is being located and scrutinized. And shipments of people even worse than the one in today's story, are being "relocated" to those places.

A lesson we learned from studying the Holocaust in Italy, is that natives were able to hide and survive, while those who'd fled TO Italy (and to other countries which, initially, seemed to offer refuge), were "deported" to Auschwitz.

Stay in Mississippi. You know the terrain.

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.
