Feds Don't Play

 The Justice Department issued the following press release. 

 A Hattiesburg man was sentenced today by Senior U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett to a combined total of 139 months in prison for being a felon in possession of ammunition while on federal supervised release, announced U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca and Special Agent in Charge Kurt Thielhorn of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.  The sentence also included a fine of $10,000 and a term of three years of supervised release following his release from confinement.

According to court documents, Jakobe McCray Woullard, also known as BadAzz, 21, possessed a single round of ammunition in his pocket on June 13, 2021, following an earlier federal felony conviction.  Woullard had previously been convicted of being an unlawful user of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm and was on federal supervised release at the time he committed the new offense.  A review of Woullard’s social media accounts showed he was also in possession of multiple firearms in the three-month period since his release from imprisonment following his original federal conviction.  Woullard was also involved in an attack on another inmate while pending sentencing in the immediate case.

Woullard was sentenced to 115 months of confinement on his new offense and 24 months for violating his federal supervised release.  The two terms of imprisonment are set to run consecutive to one another for a total of 139 months of confinement.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Hattiesburg Police Department investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew W. Eichner prosecuted the case.

This case was prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.

This story kinda seems "slow news day" and considering this blog is suppose to be Jackson (city) thingy.........why are we not constantly riding the Mayor and Public Works ? The Schools here in town ? The rampant theft from county and city board members ? Has the blog been put on notice by these elected ? Tons of stories all up and down McDowell Road by UPS KF. SERIOUS POTENTIAL for a air quality situation with that huge tire dump. Meh.

It is hard for any thug to out-thug the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

This seems to be the only way to handle these types.

Lock em' up and get on with your day.

Some people just can't be fixed.

You cannot breathe without bashing Jackson for an hour, eh?

Starrett is tough as nails with this guy but melts like a popsicle whenever Scott Walker is in his courtroom.

Keith Starrett is a good old boy from Pike County that did good for himself. A great attorney, judge, and federal judge. He's never been soft on crime. Wish we had many more like him.

BadAzz 21 needs to change his name to MyAzzGoingBacktoJail 115.

How did the feds know the "guns" in the photos were not prop, toy, or airsoft guns?

9:38 - Lighten up, Francis. Who says this blog is supposed to be about Jackson only? I'll say it again - lighten up, Francis.

Starrett has been around forever, 9:31. He’s basically a dinosaur at this point.

And 9:38, this blog is at its best when it serves functions other than just “constantly riding” Jackson. No need for such tunnel vision here. Instead of throwing stones at your neighbor across the river, why don’t you take some time to learn basic grammar. Lesson number 1, you don’t have to put a space before a question mark. You’re welcome.

I agree with @ 9:38. Why are we all the way in Hattiesburg? It's almost lunchtime and I haven't had my fill of my Jackson Shortcoming Breakfast. I eagerly flock to this site every morning antsy about the next story and read the invaluable colorful commentary. Give your fans a story and platform to trash and bash like we've all come to expect. There has got to be some negative consequence to all the hate posts building up with no outlet to release. Do better Mr. KingFish...Signed a concerned aficionado of "Bash Jackson Speech"

FYI - a federal "senior" judge is a retired district court judge that works part-time.

No blessings from Judge Starrett. This felon will have to bite the bullet and do his time.

9:38 here. I was just sayin. The story does seem a bit pointless here. And I prefer Franny 10:28 . 10:03 : If the feet aren't in the fire no one will burn.I get it though, you think all is well. Keep cashing the checks.

9:38, truth and facts isn't bashing......

BUT, if you're going to get butt hurt every day when Jackson lives up to it's low standards every day, then maybe you should think about trying another blue Dim-O-Krat utopia somewhere else and see if the butt hurt follows.

@ 10:23, "How did the feds know the "guns" in the photos were not prop, toy, or airsoft guns?" I remember a case years ago that stated the Intent to show guns as real was enough to get a conviction. You can see this on FB. I have also personally seen where toy/fake guns were used in Robberies therefore making it 'Armed Robbery' as the victim assumed it was a real gun.

Judge Starrett is one of my favorites. I have tried a bunch of cases in front of him and enjoyed the process, even when we disagreed.

BadAzz 21. Good lord what a stupid nickname.

Judge Starrett was a pioneer of the Drug Court program. He's very much in favor of second chances and providing the resources to succeed at them. But if one does not take the opportunity, he will impose serious consequences.

Should a question mark be used after a question is asked?

Anonymous said...

Fools, keep on posting yo shit on Facebook and Snapchat the Feds are watching. That shit ain’t cute!

Get straight and get a trade and a job! That long stay in prison ain’t for no humans. You are gonna miss so much in life! My cousin spent 21 years total in Federal Prison. He was a kingpin, the real deal and he cried privately every night!

Could not even go to his mothers funeral, that nearly killed him!

If you think the life of crime is for you, keep on doing wrong!

They will lock yo ass up and melt the key!

And that’s real talk!

the Late Dick Clark would have said...

.....and this week it's BadAzz to Number One WITH A BULLET!

If it’s a question, then sure. However, some sentences that begin with “why not” or “why don’t you” are actually suggestions, not questions. Question marks generally don’t go after suggestions.

Anonymous said...

It's an unpopular truth, but either a man pays a debt to society upon completing a sentence. Or not. If one can never pay the debt, then he should never be released. If it's paid, well a man should enjoy citizenship.

Perpetual punishment for a crime is an interesting concept, but it is not an idea that can be supported any person who seriously cares about being a society that supports liberty.

*Ducks for incoming big government takes-from "small gubmint" people of course.*

Keep building prisons and keep locking up the bad guys. It’s that easy.

Drug courts are an absolute joke.

"Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program...is an evidence-based program"

I am pleased to read that a valuable piece of our justice system is 'evidence based'. There's a concept I can get behind.

Kingfish said...

What got it posted was not going back to the big house but the fact it was one round in his pocket that got him in trouble. One round. Funny and sad.

Anonymous said...

It seems kinda shitty that one round gets somebody locked away for years. Yes being a dumbass and getting yourself set up for a life filled with prison clothes and food isn’t a smart choice to begin with. But seeing murderers walking the streets out on bail in major cities ready to kill again makes you wonder if somehow things are a little crazy.

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.
