Takes one to know one.
Lots of folks get DUI's but, the resisting arrest makes her a no go for me.
the pearl police should put its own house in order before accusing citizens of crime.
that dept is nothing but a bunch of thugs
She won.
to 10;34 got news for you mr law and order, according to idiot pearl cops, refusing a breath test is considered by the cops to be resisting arrest.
bet you didn't know that.
now you know.
Poster child for MS justice system.
the fish and his attempt to ridicule this young woman as is disgusting.
she is a member of the bar and honors grad of MCSOL. she's also the sister of the late olympic medalist tori bowie.
their mother ran a real tight ship growing up.
this is just more thuggery by the pearl pd toward someone who knows her legal rights. nothing a cop hates more than an educated citizen.
Pearl Police Department will do anything to keep an African American woman off the bench unless she is bought and paid for by the police.
When didn’t they give Kingfish the videotape of the stop and the alleged simple assault? If they have clear cut cases against Bowie, why hasn’t she been prosecuted?
i could list for yall the names of all pearl cops convicted of crimes over the past 5 years but i dont have all day.
and it would take all day.
in looking at he booking sheet it has a category called UNCONSTITUTIONAL DATE.....please somebody tell my cotton chopper self what that is.....................maybe the fish knows , he a lawyer wannabe.
I asked for it. However, the case has not yet been adjudicated so it will not be released until it is.
Lots? Remind me never to be on the road when you are driving.
Typical responses from the JJ crowd of bigoted bloggers. DUI is just fine and dandy. Got it. Until one of them takes out someone you love on the road. Losers.
Wow! Can you say false arrest? I know that you can.
Slow news day?
No, 11:12, KF is not ridiculing Ms. Bowie, she brought the ridicule on herself; KF is simply reporting the ridicule she brought on herself. And when you get stopped for DUI and are asked to comply, it doesn’t matter who your family is or where you went to school.
Pete Golding got a DUI in 2023...
Her voters and constituency do not care AT ALL.
No he didn't.
"refusing a breath test is considered by the cops to be resisting arrest", no they don't.
"nothing a cop hates more than an educated citizen", they must love you.
Lighten up Francis. I have had multiple encounters with Pearl police and I always found them to be helpful and professional. The Pearl police are not the Rankin County Sherriff's Department.
Much harder to get a non-adjudication since she refused the test. But the whiz lawyer can now defend herself and show off her MCSOL courtroom skills
Go Choctaws
Justice court judge preside over misdemeanor DUI cases.
When a candidate for that office is charged with a DUI, it's news.
I bet she’s a pleasure to deal with…
@12:24: Refusing a breath test has nothing to do with eligibility for non-adjudication of a DUI. See 63-11-30(14).
As for an expungement of a prior DUI conviction, a refusal disqualifies the petitioner for an expungement of that conviction. See 63-11-30(13).
It might take all day for the impaired, otherwise it is just an exaggeration on your part.
Thanks law clerk but in the real world it does. Judges have discretion and in Niknar they will ask her why she didn’t provide the sample
Yeah, why would a Jackson-based news blog report on a judicial candidate being arrested by a local police department for DUI. That's craziness!
Not-in-custody Field Sobriety Tests (FST) are not mandatory in MS, including the subjective finger to nose crap and blow in the tube. A refusal can not be used against you. These are not the same as "in custody" tests performed in an office setting. Those are required.
She will get her @$$ trounced in the runoff regardless and this little late-in-the-game political ploy will make absolutely no difference.
She just keeping it real. The Fannin/Luckney Rd/Holly Bush Rd voters will love this behavior!
The video shows a very different story.
