When Fortune Has Misfortune

Update: Fortune is charged with: Expired Tag, Failure to Yield Right of Way, Improper Lane Change: Failure to Signal, Reckless Driving, No Proof of Liability Insurance, Disobeying a Police Officer, misdemeanor, Disturbance of the Family Peace, misdemeanor, Fleeing, felony 

She is currently being held without bond and will appear before the Rankin County Court Judge.

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement. 

At 12:47pm on Thursday, October 2, 2025, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department responded to a domestic dispute at a residence on Glendale Place near the Reservoir area. The suspect was identified as Latoya Fortune.
While enroute to the location, deputies were informed that Latoya Fortune had fled the residence in a maroon Nissan Rogue SUV. After being spotted by deputies, a traffic stop was attempted but Fortune continued fleeing southbound on Lakeland Drive toward the City of Flowood.
Fortune was initially stopped after several miles on Lakeland Drive near Dogwood Festival Blvd but when deputies attempted to pull her from the vehicle she fled again.



As the pursuit re-initiated an officer with the Flowood Police Department executed a “Tactical Vehicle Intervention” (TVI) on Lakeland Drive near Howard Wilson Lane which resulted in the Nissan Rogue rolling over and coming to rest on the right median. Latoya Fortune was removed from the vehicle and detained. After being evaluated by medical personnel she was transported to the Rankin County Detention Center.





At this time Latoya Fortune has been charged with Felony Fleeing, however; additional charges are likely.
The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office would like to express its appreciation to the Flowood Police Department for their assistance with this incident.

This young lady needs help, not the first time allegedly violating a restraining order. Had a standoff in Grenada County years ago.

Thank goodness she probably had the car fully insured with paid up premiums.

First of all, this is anything but a lady. This is a woman. Also, this is a violent criminal who is completely brain dead to anyone's welfare except her own. She is beyond help as are the millions of other violent offenders in this country. This a perfect example of someone who would run into a soccer mom with 3 kids while running from the police, kill them all and blame it on somebody else.

On the other hand, it reminds me of the facebook LEO clip of cop cars chasing a motorcycle doing 130 through a residential neighborhood.

3:19 I agree she needs to get help while in the prison system. Sorry to call her a lady, should have said female driver! Just hope she doesn’t get a weak soft judge!

Or, "how to put out a fire with gasoline."

Completely understandable. Doubtless, she fled in fear of being GeorgeFloyd-ed by the pursuing officer.

One of our crime fan judges will give her 10 years and 10 years served concurrently with 7 years suspended.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
