K-9 Deputy Gets Second Chance

It looks like a Hinds County deputy who lost a K-9 officer to heat stroke last year is getting another chance with a K-9 officer:







JJ reported in July 2018:

A Hinds County K-9 Officer died of heatstroke in June after his vehicle inexplicably shut down while he was in the car. 

Multiple sources told this correspondent that the dog's handler stopped at a restaurant and left the dog inside of his vehicle with the engine and its electrical operations running as is standard procedure when  leaving the the K-9 officer in the vehicle.  However, the vehicle somehow shut down.  The 5 1/2 year old Belgium German Shepherd, Dex, died of heatstroke.  Dex was assigned to Deputy Lafayette Martin. 
The vehicle was not equipped with a heater alarm, standard equipment in every law enforcement agency in the Jackson metro area except for the Hinds County Sheriff's office at the time.

wait, I'm confused. why was the officer Lafayette Martin not charged and locked up for his original crime? And why are we assigning him another K-9 Officer?

At least now he doesn't have to leave his K9 partner in the vehicle for lunch anymore.

1:53 pm, what do you mean? The story is that the same officer that left his K-9 partner to die in the heated car now has a new K-9 partner. I don't see any restrictions on usage, lunch-related or not.

So this is the same officer that let TWO K-9 die on his watch. The same officer that was given the opportunity the resign or be fired because he wasn't showing up for work. The same officer were another agency had to do a wellness check at his residence and found him at home sleep with his county vehicle running for 24 hours straight.On top of all that Sheriff Luke hired him back CRY ME A RIVER please.

So...If I had killed one of those dogs, I go to jail, but......he doesn't? Hmm....

Everyone calm down. The system in the car which allows for the animals to stay cool malfunctioned (outside of the officers control) the heat alarm was not installed inside the vehicle for whatever reason
So the officer had no clue what was happening. It’s perfectly ok for the dog to be inside the car when everything is functioning correctly.

If I am a canine officer I am leaving my dog with me if I eat lunch he eats lunch is my partner he’s gonna be right there next to me the whole time

As a retired military K9 handler, the dog is 100% the respons of the hhandler. If the Department didnt have heat sensors thats on the Sheriff. If no sensors, NEVER wld lve the Dog to himself. Negligence on the department. Should NOT be respins for another Dog.

5:20: BS. Training mandates that if no heater alarm is installed, the handler is to check on the dog every ten minutes.

less than 60 days and sorry ass Victor, Luke, and the other so called command staff will be gone. Hopefully the poor k-9 can survive that long. This is just another example of this groups total failure. Didn't think it would get worse after Tyrone but damned if it didn't. Hopefully Sheriff Vance can return the Sheriff's Office to some level of professionalism.

This officer has been a problem since the day he began his career. This administration hasn’t made one solid choice for the HCSO. Why would they start now? Place your bets now. He’ll make the news again...

He's now taking shots at me on FB. F him.

Love him or hate him he has seized more drugs and cash than some will their entire careers. We watched him go through it when DeX died.

I believe this is the same Deputy who just shot at an unarmed man who was running from him. Also the last administration got rid of him for lying on reports. This dude is dirty and should not be wearing a badge. I hope Vance gets rid of him. I also understand they hired another K9 handler back that they ran off. Sounds like they are trying to set Vance up with some trash.

Fish let him throw rocks at you. Check with Clinton Police I think they have arrested him a couple of times for Domestic Violence.

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.
