Hog-tied, terrified, and completely at the mercy of soulless savages is the nightmare of all who are grayed by the passage of time. Such horror befell a Northeast Jackson elderly couple two years ago as their son's girlfriend directed a little gang of thugs to carjack her boyfriend and rob his wealthy parents at gunpoint in their home two years ago. Thankfully, the wheels of justice are turning in the right direction.
The alleged story of what took place in Ridgeland and Northeast Jackson is gleaned from court documents and law enforcement sources. Deborah Cameron lived with her boyfriend, Mike Mallard (His last name is changed.) at his Berkshire Drive home in Ridgeland in June 2020. Cameron's grandson is serving a 20-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. Apparently she got to know several of his cellmates as she conspired with two prisoners, David Mitchell and Samuel Young, to rob Mallard and his parents.
Cameron rented a Chevy Traverse and turned it over to Desmond Jones. Jones picked up Jordan Collins and Kneefe Miller on June 4, 2020. Kneefe and Collins carjacked, kidnapped, and beat Cameron's boyfriend, demanding money as they did so at approximately 9:35 PM. Somehow, Mallard managed to escape but thanks to Cameron, they knew everything they needed to know about his elderly parents.
Undeterred by failure, the two hoodlums drove in Mallard's Lincoln Navigator to his parents' home in the Country Club of Jackson at 10 PM where they proceeded to kick open the door, achieving complete tactical and strategic surprise. They zip-tied the couple at gunpoint and cleaned the house of all jewelry and cash while stealing a Mercedes. Drunk on their own evil ways, they managed to get the phone number of the Mallard's teen granddaughter and threatened her over the phone.
JPD and Ridgeland police arrested Jordan Collins, Kneefe Miller, Desmond Jones, Ryan Luckett, Joshua Watson, and Jordan Collins within several weeks. A Madison County grand jury indicted Collins, Miller, Young, Mitchell, Jones, and Cameron for kidnapping, armed robbery, armed carjacking, aggravated assault, and conspiracy. The grand jury indicted Miller, Young, and Mitchell as habitual offenders.
Hinds County took a swing at the suspects as well. The grand jury indicted Collins, Watson, Luckett, and Miller for kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy, and grand larceny in the theft of the Mercedes.
Kneefe Miller pleaded guilty in Hinds County to armed robbery and testified against the other defendants. Circuit Judge Faye Peterson sentenced him to serve ten years in prison but gave him credit for time served. Miller was on house arrest when he went on his little crime spree that night. Miller pleaded guilty in Madison County to kidnapping, carjacking, armed robbery, and two counts of conspiracy in June 2021. Circuit Judge Dewey Arthur postponed his sentence several times as his fellow defendants await trial. Miller resides in the Madison County jail.
Remember Deborah Cameron? The alleged co-mastermind of the plot pleaded guilty to kidnapping, armed robbery, and two counts of conspiracy. Circuit Judge Bradley Mills sentenced her to serve 25 years in prison for the kidnapping and armed robbery charges but suspended 10 years of the sentences. She is to serve five years each for the two conspiracy convictions. All sentences will run concurrently. The state withdrew the indictment against Jones after he pleaded guilty in another case.
Prisoner Samuel Young pleaded guilty to kidnapping, armed robbery, and two counts of conspiracy as a habitual offender on June 29, 2021. Judge Mills ordered him to serve ten years each on the first two counts and five years each on the conspiracy convictions. All sentences are to run concurrently. Young was already serving a life sentence for a 2016 sexual battery conviction in Madison County.
Prisoner David Mitchell pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and kidnapping on June 28, 2021. Judge Mills sentenced him to serve five years in prison for each charge. The sentences are to run concurrently. Mitchell has been serving time on two twenty-year sentences for armed robbery and sexual battery in Hinds County since 2013.
The other defendants await trial.
Collins is apparently next up on deck as he skirmishes with prosecutors over what will be allowed at his upcoming trial. His case is assigned to Judge Mills. Collins delayed his trial as he went the mental evaluation route but the psychiatric report was submitted to the courts in January. Collins was judge fit to stand trial and stand trial he will.
Collins recently filed a motion to exclude all testimony about what took place in Hinds County. Assistant District Attorney Brad Hutto responded that it was part of the same events that gave rise to the Madison County charges. Prediction? Judge Mills denies the motion. Collins is scheduled to go to trial on August 1. The Hinds County case is pending and assigned to Circuit Judge Faye Peterson.

Yikes!!! My eyes are burning! Guilty!
Kingfish, please add a warning of, "click at own risk, serious eye damage likely" on these type posts.
Concurrent sentences are such BS. You get two counts, but basically paying the time for only one.
As a fatboy, I am loving the vintage ice cream ads.
Going to have stop by Bop’s on the way home!
That's a relative slap on the wrist for what they did. 25 with 10 suspended means out in 7 with good behavior right?
This is why I am always armed.
Even at home while relaxing.
I never know when my jealous relatives are going to send impressionable youths to attempt to rob me of my millions worth of gold bullion and TY beanie babies.
Been there done that on the been robbed and kidnapped scene. Thankfully Rankin County buried him in prison for decades. But I get the pleasure of my taxes forking over $75,000 per year to feed, house and give medical care to the guy when a 25 cent round to the thug's head would have solved the problem for all concerned.
I can't unsee that ugly mugshot. That's the kind of "GF" that the supposed Northeast Jerkson wealth gets you!?!?!? And she's ancient.
How old are the parents, 135? The perps achieved "tactical surprise?" Were the codgers just unable to totter to the door in time or did they knock them out of their scooters?
Life Alert: I'vvvvve faaaaaawwwlen and I can't get up!!!
Apparently decrepit lapdogs with cataracts are ineffective guard dogs.
A couple weeks ago I visited my extreme country boy buddy in a beautiful Mississippi pastureland.
We spent the day firing, sighting, and cleaning impressive high-caliber weapons we own.
I hope these trash never encounter men like us during a break in.
Where's the picture of the woman?

Another blessing.
"We spent the day firing, sighting, and cleaning impressive high-caliber weapons we own.

If they stay clear of your parent(s) spare bedroom/den and their kitchen, your paths should never cross.
Sheesh, these trolls are almost as thoughtful and erudite as the mayor.
OMG - Berkshire Dr. is one street over from Mayor Gene McGees house.
Crop out the hair on that 'woman's' head and take note.
Hmmm...Luckett. Family name rings a bell.
Seems sentences are light, especially on Mastermind. Torture, Invasion, Grant Thefts, conspiracy, lots of charges. Multiple attackers, forced entry, even with dogs, alarm, greater than 505 chance I will be normally wearing a handgun, o not feel the odds in my really in my favor to not be subdued, worse case is never what we have imagined, The parents 11 years older than me, big factor.

Is just jealous someone owns better guns than his Hipoint.
The victims were very nice people. I am sorry this happened to them.
"Where's the picture of the woman?" Winner so far in my opinion.
The phot of the Cameron lady is the gf. She looks rough
"where's the picture of the woman" wins the year.
Bravo indeed.
