Confidential informants provided the FBI with a window into the drug-dealing culture of Jackson.
A federal grand jury indicted Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Mayor Lumumba, and City Councilman Aaron Banks on public corruption charges in 2023. Former Councilwoman Angelique Lee and insurance mogul Marve Smith pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit bribery in 2023 as well. Owens filed a motion to dismiss with a supporting memorandum and 47 exhibits Monday in U.S. District Court. The Justice Department almost immediately asked U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan, III to seal the filing the same day, claiming it violated a protective order. Judge Jordan granted the request and sealed the filings the next day but not before most of the local media downloaded the motion and the supporting exhibits. One exhibit included some allegations against the Mayor and Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes.Posted below is an FBI report of information received from confidential informants. Keep in mind the information is unverified and unconfirmed. Tonarri Moore is probably one of the informants since he was a known informant for the Fibbers. He is serving four years in federal prison for being a felon with a firearm. Polo Edwards was another FBI informant although it is not known if he was the source for some of this information. The point is take the report with a grain of salt as it includes testimony from people who themselves were up to no good and might have been trying to score points with the feds by any means possible.
It is known that Moore ran a nightclub off Northside Drive several years ago. There was reputed to be an unlicensed strip club on the second floor.
This report was compiled in August 2017.
Oddly enough, Tonarri Moore was arrested in Madison County for possessing a firearm and possessing a stolen weapon. Mayor Lumumba showed up with him at his bond hearing. Attorney John Reeves represented Moore.

Did the unlicensed strip club have a champagne room? Because the rules are that there is no sex allowed in the champagne room (there always is though)
If anyone else is wondering, CHS = confidential human source
They could have based The Wire in Jackson, but it would have been tough to make the detective work believable.
Knowing what the general population looks like, I can't imagine going into a strip club in Jackson. I could stay home and be nauseated and it wouldn't cost a penny.
Attorney John Reeves. What a scumbag.
Well Lumumba wanted a "NEW RADICAL CITY"!!!! I guess he got it!!!!
Gonna take this with a grain a salt, but funny to read lol
This whole shit show reminds me of the movie Hoodlum where Redmond says that Valley got that boy Jimmy to put rat poison in Bumpy Jonhson's split.

Say what you will about the possible inaccuracies of the various CHS statements, but the fact is that at least one of the Mayor Lumumbas did speak on the record as an attorney for at least one of these criminals concerning the Upper Level and some of the various associated legal goings on.
This explains why Lumumba would never use the word "gang" when discussing Jackson's crime and homicide problems.
I don't think he uttered that word a single time during his eight years as Mayor.
Who could believe a cast of characters like Mayors Lumumba, Frank Melton, Kenny Stokes, and more than a few more.
Then there are the subplots like: No garbage pickup leading to a garbage emergency for the entire city due to the mayor's garbage RFPs and contract shenanigans, billions of gallons on raw sewage in the streets and rivers. Then the water treatment plant washing away in a biblical flood resulting in no water for the city.
Almost forgot how the heck do the script writers deal with the entire Jackson Kush New Afrika mess?
Things get more interesting when mayor the DA and some other fools getting comped by flying Nashville in a private jet with some people handing out bands. Then Nashville isn't enough whatever so they bail out for a yacht in Miami and a naked cigar bar and taking money in front of the cameras.
The feds roll up a few of the fools and just listen to the yelling.
Then the DA attempts to mount an intoxication defense, at the same time it's an open question what other people are mounting who what and where.
COJ has become a very dangerous city with gangs, organized crime, open drug activity, street level thugs; all reaching into former mayor, city council, board of supervisors & city employees hired by Lumumba. Is the current COJ cleaning house of these COJ employees?
I was about to ask that someone remind me what or who CHS is or was.
Don't be dissin' John Reeves. He's always been a favorite fair-haired boy with the administration up in Madison. And even attorneys have a right to make a living.
One of those names is definitely Pickett.
I hope the CHS is still alive when the trial begins... but I won't volunteer to keep him safe, his protection should be provided in XXXXXX, Western Ontario, and "good luck" wherever you hide.
Remember when Lumumba wanted to pick a fight with Gipson over the rodeo parade and the billboard at the fairgrounds? Karma is a b!tch big boy. He tried to be a bully and be a gangster and it bit him in the a$$. He is hearing it loud and clear now, no one, and I mean absolutely no one outside of his circle liked him. Don't drop the soap homie!
Wow! 50 cent needs to produce a documentary on Netflix. Hoodlums from Jack up town.
Then the water treatment plant washing away in a biblical flood resulting in no water for the city.
That would be a wholly fictional account.
Houston . Atlanta. Thanks primarily but not solely to our former mayor, Jackson appears to be the hub of a drug operation that spanned the Southeast U.S. What a disgrace.
If someone did did actually loan Chokwe a truck to drive when he was running for mayor was it a black Ford F-450? Like the one Polo was driving when he was arrested for killing Bobby Davis is 2022?

Puts the 3:21 PM comment in perspective doesn't it?
We simply disagree. Representing a thug like Moore, unless you are a public defender, is done for money, which makes him a scumbag (whore). Madison, my home, laughs at him.
Where is Angelique Lee now?
Those with a good memory will recall that Edwards, during his murder trial, specifically asked Greg Jones from Clinton PD if they had investigated Owens in 2022 due to his association with Edwards. Most interesting in retrospect.
to 12:51 ........if you went to an unlicensed thug strip club , yes, im sure that would nauseate anyone.
but if you went to a licensed , professionally run club like babes you might like it.
but i agree, you had better stay home, cause if you like most of the guys around here, you dont even have that penny you talking about.
@206, funny you should bring up the garbage contract in this discussion; serious charges that the entire charade of the collection contract was not about garbage but rather a front for laundering the drug money; what better way to transport and pay off various folks than to use the regular routes of a garbage truck? No company is interested in the collection of garbage without having the disposal portion as well; except, in this case -- tata - Richards! A company that doesn't have a disposal site wants and bribes.... ooops.... begs for the collection contract and Hizzoner goes to the mattresses for them to get the contract.
This could get deeper and deeper; especially if cconnections with certain recently expanded enbalming/burial facilities are made.
