Police report filed on Irby address two days before accident

See sidebar on lower right side of page for collection of all posts on the Irby case.

A police report filed by JPD reveals an investigation for child abuse at the home of Stuart Irby was opened on February 9, 2009. Jackson Jambalaya filed a public records request for any police reports involving the Irbys or incidents at their address.

The report states a complaint was filed, the child was spanked, and there was "bruising on both sides of her buttocks". No arrests have been made nor is it known if there is an ongoing investigation. As a minor is involved, the complainant is not identified and the report does not say who reported the alleged abuse. The officer assigned by JPD is H. L. Bullock. However, sources close to the investigation have informed JJ a doctor that treated the child notified the police. JJ has also learned an investigation was opened at DHS about the same incident and the investigator is Hazel Walker. Sources have also informed JJ the child was taken to the complaining doctor by both parents and that Stuart M. Irby, Sr. is accused of causing said injuries.

This is not the first time a police report has been filed at the Irby home. The first incident was on January 7, 2007. Mr. Irby was arrested for Simple Assault. The report states "suspect was intoxicated. When complainant began to question suspect suspect became upset. Suspect slapped complainant across the floor. Suspect continued striking complainant with a closed fist." The report was taken at approximately 8:00 PM. The second one was for Simple Assault as well and was filed the next day and states "after being released from jail, suspect arrived home wanting to take a shower, Complainant attempted to tell suspect to leave, Suspect pushed complainant." The complainant in the charges filed is Karen Irby and the suspect is Stuart M. Irby, Sr.

Unfortunately, that was not the last report as another one was filed on April 7, 2008 at 10:15 PM. The report states "Suspect threw water on complainant and complainant's baby. Complainant entered into another room; Suspect followed complainant knocking complainant to the floor. Suspect grabbed the baby running into the pool area. Complainant followed after suspect, attempting to get the baby. Suspect struck complainant across the head; Complainant fell into the pool."

It is important to point out that although there were multiple arrests, Mr. Irby was not convicted of any of the charges. The wreck that killed Dr.'s Pogue and Dedousis occurred two days after the police report was filed for the alleged child abuse.

Nice work, my friend!

how many police reports did she need to have grounds for divorce?

pretty sure police have been called as many times for karen assaulting stuart - did you find those records?

Kingfish said...

Requested and there were none filed by Stuart against her.

Stuart is a drunk wife beating asshole.

Why hasn't he been prosecuted Kingfish? Are charges pending or has our DA's office dropped the ball?

It is what it is, and this person is a sorry piece of shit.

Karen should not have gotten behind the wheel. Period

But after reading these reports of Stuart's repeated hitting of Karen about her head I understand the Farese questions better and wonder if there is any ounce of truth to the rumor that Stuart was hitting her in the car that fateful night.

I'm sure this will make the TV news. Excellent job Mr. Kingfish.

Doesn't she have an ex-husband that is the "baby daddy' of this litle girl that was supposedly beaten? Where is he- who is he?

Autogyro said...

Slapping his wife across the floor and then striking her with a closed fist? Spanking a child so hard that it causes bruising? This is a man who has lost all mastery of his emotions. And obviously a night in jail didn't seem to faze him either.

Anyway, great reporting, Kingfish. You're indefatigable.

Anonymous said...

Well, let's not forget about all the assault charges filed against Karen prior to marrying Stuart. Kingfish, you were the one to make that information public. What was it, 8 in Hinds, several in Madison Cty and also in Rankin. Some people are great liars. No excuse for the child issues though.

Timing really good to make Stuart look bad and Karen a victim a few days before her trial.

Anonymous said...

No, the timing shows a probable reason for the stupidity behind the wheel and the history between these two. Drunk and fighting about the charges. No matter what the speed, it was all wrong and two innocent people suffered from a very stupid decision by two selfish individuals to get behind the wheel of a moving vehicle after drinking, and then probably fighting while driving. They should have taken the fight to the house.

Seems like he was the one to file for divorce with grounds of habitual cruel and inhuman treatment. She wasn't the one filing for abuse.

I am curious about the posts that you are deleting.

Of course Stuart was beating the crap out of her in the car that night on Old Canton Road. That's why she lost complete control of her car. However, she did it to herself for being with him and driving when she knew his history of violence toward her and her child. I wonder if Karen still thinks Stuart's money was worth it now. He is as responsible for the deaths of the two young doctors as she is.

Yeah- Be careful what you wish for!

DAs don't prosecute misdemeanors, which are the charges referenced. County Attorneys and City Court Prosecutors have those duties.

Two seperate, distinct sets of prosecutors.

Anonymous said...

Maybe she was beating him up and wasn't watching the road. He isn't know for violent behavior. She is!!

Anonymous said...

Maybe the Prosecutor should pull together all the people who have or have had assault charges against Karen and all the people who have had assault charges against Stuart and see who is more believable to be an abuser.

Stuart is a verbal abuser if anything.

This is a failed attempt to put the blame of the wreck on Stuart. She was the driver and she was drunk and she killed two innocent people. Stuart and Karen should never have married and only did because Karen was pregnant. That is well known. It had no chance of survival in the first place and look how it is going to end. Her in jail, him with head injuries, two people dead and 2 children all the victims.

Stuart does have some blame in the deaths of the two doctors. He did own the car, and he let Karen get behind the wheel drunk. Isn't this the reason the families of the deceased are suing him in civil court?

Something else I read that I will pass on to everyone. WAPT had an article about the court trial next week, and it stated the following:

"WAPT.com will carry the trial live once testimony begins."

It all circles back to the abuse charges against Stuart. Guess proof is needed to say he isn't the one who had the violent nature. Karen has a long history. Someone is trying to say it was Stuart who caused the wreck.

She was driving and people are dead.

Ask Kingfish, he posted it from his findings. I think he found between 5 and 8 in Hinds County.

Kingfish said...

Here's the deal. Comments about ex'es are going to get zapped. Comments making unsubtantiated accusations get zapped. I've checked into Karen's history and guess how many assault charges exist against her? One from 7 or so years ago. That's it. If it doesn't have anything to do with the case or is potentially libelous, its getting zapped.

As for trying to favor her case with this post, that is simply laughable. I just got the last police report last week. JPD takes three weeks to fill out one report and that is assuming you got the right ones all in one batch. Could some of these charges against Stuart be trumped up or blown out of proportion? Yes, its possible and that is why I pointed out he was never convicted. However, I think its also relevant to point out the history here and that apparently something happened the week of the wreck. I'm going to tell you guys about the facts of the case as they come out. That means there will be ones damning of Karen and possibly Stuart and sometimes it might be favorable. I don't think this affects how people think about the case one way or the other but they deserve to know the whole story.

Kingfish deleted the occasion at Schimmels where in front of 30 or more witnesses attacked two people. Stuart was even there. The news was there.

I zapped it because that is not the subject of the post and the person involved has done nothing to deserve being dragged into this discussion. don't like it? Get over it. The news was not there but a news anchor just happened to be there that night.

as for the five and eight, yes that is true based on what I got from JPD initially, which listed charges but in true JPD fashion, didn't say if she was the complainant or suspect. So I had to make a more detailed request and found out there were none filed against her in Hinds County until now and only one in Madison that was dropped, and the one in rankin 12 years ago I wrote about last year.

WHOA people...back up...
This is a CHILD ABUSE complaint made by a doctor.
Even if it weren't a doctor's complaint, bruising on the buttocks of children as young as the Irby children takes great force
Any competent investigator of child abuse would understand this is a seriously " at risk" child.
Shame on our chicken s&^t DAs if they can't support the caseworker on this one because of the wealth.Worse if the caseworker is so poorly trained or incompetent as not to react strongly to protect the child.
These are kids at risk. This is AWFUL.
All of the pro-lifers and those who care about 4 legged animals ought to be incensed.
These children could DIE.
If any of Karen's or Stuart's family or friend are reading this, you had better intervene . These children are innocents. They can't protect themselves. They need YOU.
Step the HELL UP!

Kingfish, Kingfish, Kingfish. Shame on you. I'm surprised that you are caving after all the work you did to find out about Karen's past. Now saying none of the assaults happened. I remember it being said by you that there were 2 by Stuart prior to the wreck, 1 prior to those charges and about 3 more prior to that. That wasn't true? And the one in Ridgeland is retired to the file from what I heard. Not dismissed.

I've got the reports and if I know you I can show them to you and show the difference. I frankly was wrong. Period.

ACTUALLY she has an arrest in 2004 for assault IN JACKSON. I just didn't include it in the post above.
The case was dimissed when the complainant didn't show BUT the fact remains, there was a charge and arrest for it.

Good work KF! Exactly right, things were brooding between this couple. Both Irby's were time bombs ready to go off and, as most couples, they may not have wanted to make it a public display. Who knows what happened once they got into their car, any little thing may have triggered rage with all that was going on during that week.

Well I think they should both be in jail. This house arrest is for the birds.....she is all over Jackson and Madison. I hope they both get what they deserve!

"White trash with money". How true! Their behavior was actually shocking to some who knew Struarts older family members. Is it only this couple that is so trashy? It amazing what kind of talk you hear about these two. I always heard the old man was OK.

Highly unlikely....his article still has people talking over a year later. He just did what he was paid to do...build interest and get the CL web clicks up.

8:41 I was thinking the same thing about the article this afternoon. The fluff article in the CL made many people who knew the truth about the Irbys' relationship and marriage angry. Their so called friends who knew better are the ones who got the truth out, and it didn't take long either.

Talk about a sick, southern gothic tragedy.

It's bad enough what has already happened, but those children need help. There's no telling in this world what they've witnessed between Stuart and Karen. Why would Karen (if she has a sane brain cell left), put her children in harm's way like that? Crazy!

God help the man that even thought about putting bruises on my daughter's behind like that.

Shades of the Stuart Irby bullshit.

Dennis Hopper is terminally ill and unable to undergo chemotherapy as he battles prostate cancer, his attorney wrote in a court filing.

Attorney Joseph Mannis wrote about the "Easy Rider" star's grave condition in a declaration filed Wednesday asserting the actor cannot be questioned by his wife's attorneys in a deposition.

[~~~ snip ~~~]

He weighs barely 100 pounds and was described by his physician Dr. David Agus in the court filing as extremely weak and unable to carry on long conversations.

Agus states that undergoing a deposition "could actually threaten his ability to survive his current health crisis."


BUT, BUT, BUT ...

The doctor added, however, that he approved an appearance Friday by Hopper to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because it is likely to be a positive experience.

Anonymous said...

So Stuart could probably get a star somewhere downtown close to Malcolm's office-it would be positive for him!

I wonder if Hopper over the years slapped and hit in the head the various women in his life.

All the slams going Stuart and Karen's way are completely deserved. But don't assume that Charles is just like his brother because he also donated to McMillin. Charles is a completely different guy -- calm temprament, non-volatile wife, etc. He's stood by his brother in all of this, and will continue to, because that's what brothers do. But I don't believe for a minute that if anyone on the Irby side is trying to game the system, Charles is involved.

The criminal trial starts on Monday for Karen Irby. can you give us an overview of what will be public? Do you expect everything that happens will be reported? I saw some reference to TV coverage of some of the coverage. I guess, I am asking if evrything will be reported as it occurs. Is that your expectation?

Something definitely is up. WAPT reported the hearing on their nightly news at 6:00PM, too, and said they would be following the developments.

Alright, lets take a guess on the plea if there is one. I say she takes 10-10 served/suspended to run concurrently. I don't think this is very respectful of KILLING two doctors. Don't think that justice is served by this. At best, its 20 served concurrently on both. It will definitely show the moxie of the DA whatever agreement, if happening, is presented. Personally know of someone at 21 that is serving 30 on a plea deal for DUI killing family of 5. Search it out, it happened in Ridgeland, on his 21st birthday. Like this, sad story, he's only 4-5 years into his sentence.

10/10 served/suspended is not near enough for causing such a violent death to two young adults. No way in heck serving 10 years is enough for what she did. If the DA goes along with this sentence, there's going to be some really, really angry people. She should get at least 20/20.

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.
