An attorney - yes, an attorney, got caught trying to smuggle drugs and other contraband into the Raymond Detention Center. Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones issued the following statement and pictures yesterday.
MS Attorney Daniel Sidney Dale was arrested today and charged with 2 counts of conspiracy, and 3 counts of introduction of contraband to a correctional facility. Attorney Dale, allegedly posing as legal counsel for some Hinds County detainees, was allegedly smuggling cell phones and other contraband during visitations. During a visitation this afternoon he was found to be in possession of several items of contraband and cell phones in an attempt to pass them to a detainee. He was detained, questioned and later charged. Attorney Dale, in a trusted position responsible for the constitutional rights of arrested suspects, jeopardized the safety and integrity of the Hinds County Detention Facilities and the public.This investigation is ongoing and more charges and/or arrests are possible.

That mugshot. Sheesh! There's a novel of commentary just in the photograph alone!
this guy doesn't even have a tag on his truck.
i been a lawyer around here for 40 years and i never heard of this guy.
somebody call the fashion police.
I don't know where to start-
whats that on his right lapel? sweat or lunch.?
That suit looks like an Armani wool crepe, from the mid-'80s - not full-fledged Armani, but their budget 'Mani' line. In fact, everything the unfortunate attorney is wearing, seems to be from that era. Truly, with that photo, the story is DailyMail-worthy. This is the image of Southerners which is pushed by Hollywood. He could be an extra from a courtroom scene in 'A Time to Kill'.
one word description: lunchy
Went to Milsaps and OM Law School? Likely won't be featured in the fall Alumni Magazine edition at either school!
Twitter has found out about this and it's all over the place. One my favorite comments has been "it's always the ones you least expect." And of course the side-by-side photos comparing him to the zombie farmer from Men in Black.
Sumthin's Rong!
Adults who willingly choose to drive a yellow vehicle have already proven their decision making skills are sus.
9:53 AM in the mid-80s, this guy was in elementary school....he's younger than he looks
Sometimes you wonder where John Grisham got his material.
Other times, not.
Just curious...but just looking at him (gross and scary) didn't alarm bells go off in his past ten visits as to simply triggering the "sketchy" alarm with the guards????
Seems the counselor has been watching the Mayor of Kingstown.
Never trust a person that drives a bright yellow Superduty truck. Everyone I have ever met that drives one is shady. Also, that mug shot, the sweats, the bulging eyes....
Dude looks like Roach Man from Men in Black.
@9:48
He's also a crooked used car salesman under a variety of aliases. Just Google any of the following to read the PRICELESS reviews of his non-law shadiness:
-Jackson Lease Sales
-Total Sales Solutions
-Old South Remarketing
The YouTube videos with his redneck daddy are GOLD.
Lots of complaints, unpaid judgments, BBB issues, etc . . .
Not at all a surprise.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. If I hadn't seen this in the news, I'd swear Fish was posting a Friday-morning laugh-a-thon post for humor.
Hey, when you're a lawyer it's all about appearances. This guy nails it.
He's been out in the HEAT to long. Look how sweaty his shirt is. Or his nerves are shot! Someone needs to give him a chill pill. Losing his law license for pushing contraband in jail. How low can you go. Maybe they need to pay these cities, state hired attorney more. Feel sorry for him. He sold his soul to the devil.
Crack is whack Yo!
Isn't he a Harvard law graduate, editor of The Harvard Law Review, first in his class, just like Chowke?
Ya'll are slipping. This is apparently a trend.

This happens more than you think. Shame
Maybe he was just trying to make enough money for his Thyroid Eye Disease medication
Mississippi is not known for its professional attorneys.
With a drug stash like that a fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas.
I've seen him somewhere before. It'll come to me in tim....Wait! That's either Barry Gilmer or Tom Head! Lemme think a minute.
Well, he certainly looks trustworthy.
I would have guessed Yale law school. Outstanding student!
I can't stop laughing at this picture!!
The Rogue might want to pay somebody to sneak that jacket out of Raymond since it's apparently not been cleaned since purchase in 1985, to put it out of its misery.
Just a dumb observation here but I dont care if its a lawyer or a DA, everyone entering the jailhouse gets checked. Look at the amount of stuff he took in there.
That's a lot of contraband. Probably a good thing he went for the briefcase because that would have been a lot to kiester!
I'm surprised he was allowed to take a briefcase into the jail. Before I retired, I occasionally had to meet with incarcerated clients in connection with civil matters I handled, usually to obtain their notarized signatures on documents. My paralegal/notary and I never took anything into the prison except the specific documents and a pen. We left everything - keys, purses, whatever - with the prison staff when we were screened and approved to enter.
Too easy search the damn inmate after the visit!
37 years practicing street law here..............among members of the bar there is not much that is a secret in this horse and buggy third world country called mississippi. the ms state bar knows about these troublemakers but does very little about them. same goes for the policing of judges by the mississippi state commission on judicial performance. the personell at these two organizations spend most of the time playing on their computers deciding on where to go to lunch, and seeing how early they can leave the office all while collecting a six figure check and full benefits.
The eyes are evidence he tests his product. Or high pressure Glaucoma?
The problem here lies squarely on the Sheriff and his policies. If this 'lawyer' did not raise red flags on his first 3 visits, he should have on his next 10. And nobody ever searched him before?
Seems the policy is 'as long as the visitor is a lawyer, he has special rights to cruise the property and have the run of the hallways'. That's a crap policy.
I guess nobody has even given a thought to a search warrant for the 'attorney's' residence where there is no doubt enough dope to cover an intent-to-distribute charge.
He brings a new definition to 'Jailhouse Lawyer'.
Tell the truth…. This pic is really from part two of My Cousin Vinny, right??? The two yutes???? Lol
I went to high school with this guy, and it looks like he hasn’t changed much—except for his ride. He used to drive around in an old hearse with a coffin in the back. I haven’t thought about him since he went off to Tulane, but seeing this doesn’t surprise me one bit.
I was sure this story could not get any more odd,
Then 8:33 drops that little hearse detail and I am yet again, proven wrong.
8:33, we must have gone to the same school. I remember the hearse (we had 2 hearses at our school at one point) but do not remember the coffin…. When did he go to Tulane? I think he went to Millsaps, but may be mistaken.
@8:33 @6:42
There were indeed two hearses, but I’m pretty sure the one with the coffin belonged to (now Dr.) Cheryl Gladney.
Dan may finally be held accountable. He’s bragged on FB for years about never having made a single payment on his Millsaps or law school loans, running welfare scams, and cheating on his taxes.
I had no idea he was practicing law. All I’ve heard about him for the past twenty years is that he’s a crooked used car salesman.
Guess he won’t have to worry about being a lawyer much longer.
