Catch & Release: Former NFL Player Edition

Former NFL player and Provine High School football star Quinton Culberson is moving along on his path of personal destruction.  JPD arrested Culberson after he allegedly burglarized a church last week. Culbertson has quite a violent history.  Felony dui's, aggravated assaults, breaking his father's jaw, kidnapping,  assaulting cops, and breaking into churches are just some of his crimes since he was in high school.  Unfortunately, Culberson spent no time in prison thanks to a series of judges who sent him to drug treatment programs he did not complete.  


 JPD arrested Culberson on December 4 for breaking into a church.  Police caught him with dollies removing stolen items such as computers. Jackson Municipal Court Judge Jeff Reynolds ordered him released to the drug treatment program at Care Ministries.  Culberson must stay sober for one year, comply with all rules of program, and not leave until released.  If he fails to comply with the conditions, Judge Reynolds can revoke his bond.  

Culberson has been in trouble with the law almost since the day he was born.  Even though he was a star football player at Provine High School, Culberson's true nature manifested itself. WLBT reported in 2003: 

One of the state's top high school football players is out of jail after being arrested for fighting with a Hinds County Deputy.

Seventeen-year old Quentin Culberson spent the night at the Hinds County Detention Center. The Provine High School safety is charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Culberson is considered by many to be Mississippi's best prep player. Rest of article.

The charges were dropped after some preachers went crying to Sheriff Mac. Culberson went on to play at Mississippi A&M where he became an All-SEC linebacker.  The Farmer Boy played in the NFL from 2007 to 2009 for the St. Louis Rams and the Carolina Panthers.   



Culberson is a star alumnus of the Hinds County Catch & Release Program.  Check out his criminal history: 

JJ reported on June 2, 2017: 

Former Mississippi State University linebacker Quinton Culberson has been on a downward spiral for the last year.  He was convicted of a felony DUI last year but continues to have substance abuse problems.  He was arrested twice in November for business burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia.  He was again arrested for violating the terms of his probation.  ...

 A Hinds County grand jury indicted Culberson in July 2014 for a third-offense felony DUI.  The indictment states that he was convicted of previous DUI's in Starkville and Oktibbeha County in 2013.  He pleaded guilty in February 2016 to DUI Felony.  Circuit Judge Bill Gowan sentenced him to serve five years in prison but suspended four years of the sentence and ordered him to serve the remaining year under house arrest.  He was also placed under a three year term of supervised probation and required to submit for alcohol and drug treatment program.

The lenient sentence apparently made no impact on the former footballer.  A probation officer reported to the court on December 7, 2016 that he had violated his probation:

 The Offender Quinton Culberson has violated the terms of his probation. Offender was arrested by JPD November 15, 2016 for Drug paraphernalia and an Open Container and tested positive for Crack Cocaine when drug tested by probation Officer. Offender was released and arrested again on November 18, 2016 by JPD charged with BUSINESS BURGLARY which is a felony. Bond was set at $25,000.

He wound up not going to prison as he was admitted to the Mercy House Treatment Facility. 

I'm happy, you're happy

*  A Hinds County grand jury indicted him for aggravated assault, kidnapping, and strong-arm robbery on March 10, 2020.  The indictment alleged Culberson kidnapped his father, Quincy Culberson, fractured his jaw, and forced him to withdraw $60 from an ATM. 

The case was assigned to Circuit Judge Tomie Green where it sat on her docket for quite some time.   Apparently Culberson was in an alcohol rehab program (Friends of Alcoholics) in lieu of jail.  If he was released from the program, he was to be returned to jail.  The facility did not notify the District Attorney that Culberson left the program and was "back on the streets."   Culberson apparently held a knife to the neck of another person in the program and refused to take his medication.  She revoked his bond on September 30, 2021. He was finally arrested on August 29, 2022. 

 The case was remanded to file and he was enrolled in the drug court program

* JPD arrested Culberson in 2022 for business burglary, auto burglary, and grand larceny.   The Hinds County grand jury indicted him on these charges later that year. The indictment alleges Culberson robbed Rosemont Church in Jackson, an apartment complex in West Jackson, and an Atmos Energy truck. 

The defendant pleaded guilty in October 2024.  Special Circuit Judge Barry Ford gave him credit for time served as he sentenced him to 14 years in prison but suspended 12 years of the sentence.  However, the District Attorney filed a motion for a conditional remand.  Judge Ford remanded the charges and ordered Culberson to complete the drug court program.  

Judge Winston Kidd issued an arrest warrant for Culberson on November 7 for failing to comply with the drug court program after he ordered him to treatment in July 2025.  Starting to see a pattern? 

 * JPD arrested Culberson in July 2025 for burglary of a dwelling.  A Jackson Municipal Court judge set his bond at $50,000 and ordered him to be screened for alcohol and drug treatment. Sound familiar? 



Kingfish note: Culberson is past going to drug treatment programs.  He has no interest in getting clean and staying clean.  He is clearly a danger to society.  The District Attorney should move to reinstate the 12-year suspended sentence because prison is where this guy belongs.

Typical State player. Also, how did he get into the NFL with this prior history?

The typical responses from the knuckle draggers. Some street justice is needed here. It’s also time judges are held responsible for their rulings.

Former NFL players in The Sip are exempt from the law, right Brett?

In some circles there is an alternative meaning to NFL.

What could go wrong?

Like some others have he will run across someone who is not as understanding as the judges. His family will demand that the person who had to stop him be jailed for murder. They will show a few pictures of him when he was in grade school and tell people he had just started to turn his life around. In a short time he will also be forgotten just like the ones who did the same.

Wear that baby blue while you can, next time you can prance around again in it, it will smell like a cedar chest…

This is the kind of person people’s sons and daughters have to go to class with and watch out for walking alone on campus while the universities pretend these criminals are student athletes.

Shame on you Jeff Reynolds as he has been given too many opportunities!

It is not 100% his fault. The justice system keeps rewarding him for his bad behavior. Put him in jail. While you are at it, pick his lawyer up also.

2003 was a different time. I'm surprised that Hinds County deputy didn't let him meet the business end of his Streamlight.

He's about as bright as that old geazer wearing a woman's dress and an ankle monitor getting fried trying to steal copper wire that was live at the time.

The bullpups can recruit 'em, can't they?

From his picture at least he's happy in his work.

Maybe the WOKE NFL will pick him up again.

He graduated Provine and stayed eligible for four years at State somehow, so something must have gone wrong at some point...

Breaking into churches? Good thing I am not his judge. He would not see daylight again if I sentenced him. Examples must be made.

Anonymous said...

@1:31 I was working for the Sheriff’s Office and am familiar with this incident. After the Deputy beat him down, he got to his feet and charged the Deputy who proceeded to go WWE with a folding metal chair. Fight over!

Y'all are too harsh. This is one of the good ones. He's a FOOTBALL player.

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.
