Idiot of the Day

 The Madison Police Department issued the following statement. 

On Thursday, December 3, 2020, at approximately 9:18 PM, an officer of the Madison Police Department attempted to stop a 2015 white Hyundai Sonata on Madison Parkway/Highway 463 for no license tag.  The vehicle initially failed to stop for the officer as it continued on Highway 463.  As another police vehicle arrived to assist, the suspect vehicle drove towards this police vehicle and sideswiped it.  The suspect vehicle then fled onto Interstate 55 southbound.

Officers pursued the vehicle southbound on Interstate 55 into Jackson as the Jackson Police Department was notified.  The suspect vehicle exited the interstate briefly at High Street but again proceeded back southbound onto Interstate 55.  The suspect vehicle continued until it reached the Interstate 55 and Interstate 20 interchange where it then proceeded westbound onto Interstate 20.  The Clinton Police Department was notified.

The suspect vehicle continued west on Interstate 20 into Warrant County and Vicksburg. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office and Vicksburg Police Department were notified. Additionally, the Madison Parish (LA) Sheriff’s Office and the Louisiana State Police had been notified of the approaching pursuit.

As the suspect vehicle entered Louisiana, troopers from the Louisiana State Police deployed stop-sticks near the Interstate 20 weigh station. The vehicle then slowed and stopped on the side of Interstate 20 near the Delta, Louisiana exit. The driver of the suspect vehicle was taken into custody without incident.

The driver, identified as Katrina Courtney, age 39, of Indianola, MS, was taken into custody by the Delta, Louisiana Marshal for traffic violations. Arrest warrants were obtained by Madison police officers charging Courtney in Madison, MS with No License Tag, Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer and Felony Fleeing. Her extradition to Madison, MS is pending.

There were no injuries or other property damage as a result of the pursuit.

Nice freudian slip.

"Warrant County?" That's a new take.

Also, there's no report of anyone ever notifying the MHP or Hinds SO. Wonder why?

Now she will get some serious prison time instead of a ticket for a minor tax law violation. Oh well, you can’t fix stupid!!!

She was just trying to get to the lottery ticket store in Delta, LA to buy a ticket "For old time's sake". Some pretty good lottery tickets were sold there back in the day and she was waxing nostalgic.

another instance of police over-reaction and governmental interference with individual freedoms-

How so? She sideswiped a police vehicle. It's on at that point.

Kingfish, I’m pretty sure 10:59am was being sarcastic (at least I hope they were).

it took 60 miles to stop a Hyundai?! I gotta get me one of those!

At least the idiot didn't drive high speed into the residential neighborhood and create the inevitable blowup. They ought to give the idiot a few days off just for keeping it on the highway and saving everybody that shitstorm.

In the "old days" she'd been shot after she hit the police car. Now we taxpayers get to find her life for awhile, including however many kids she has.

Good God Almighty! How was a damned Hyundai able to get out of Madison, pass through Ridgeland, cruise through Jacktown and Vicksburg and over into Louisiana? That's at least sixty five miles. Good thang it wasn't a Ford. It would be in Nevada by now.

"Good thang it wasn't a Ford"

It would have been Found On Road Dead.

Wonder why she didn't take the 220 bypass? Could've shaved a few miles and there's certainly no speed limit.

Nobody uses those spike-sticks any more? Where the hell was MHP. Musta been around noonish.

I wonder if we'll ever start taking crime seriously again? A PIT maneuver should have ended that chase 58 miles sooner. After all, she started it! She was in 100% control of her actions.

I see you & me riding like Bonnie & Clyde

Looking for the law while I push my luck
Enter Louisiana it's over

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.
