How Polo Was Caught

Posted below is a story that fell through the cracks.  It happens.  William "Napoleon" "Polo" "The Cipher" Edwards waits for his reckoning with justice behind bars after he was accused of killing Bobby Davis on May 1 in Clinton.  His preliminary hearing on October 5 in Hinds County Circuit Court yielded a great deal of information about the case.  JJ purchased the transcript and posted it below.  If interested in the case, the transcript is worth reading. 

The hearing opened with District Attorney Jody Owens disclosing the defendant was a confidential informant for the District Attorney in the Greta Bully case.  The hearing moved through the usual skirmishing between prosecution and defense until Clinton Detective Keith Burnett took the stand (p.16). The good detective provided a great deal of information about Davis's murder and Polo's flight.  

The nutshell version is Polo and Clinton resident Shadow Robinson had a previous relationship.  Polo did not take too kindly to Robinson's relationship with the deceased.  Polo broke into Robinson's home the day before the murder and disabled all cameras in her home.  Robinson told  Clinton police that Davis answered when Polo knocked on the door.  Polo allegedly shot Davis several times.  Robinson said she saw Polo stand over Davis, said "motherfucker", tucked his 9mm pistol into his waistband, and strolled out the door to a black F-450 and drove away. 

Polo fled to Lexington and then New Orleans.  He traveled at all times in the F-450.  The truck belonged to New Jerusalem Church Pastor Dwayne Pickett.   Polo spoke to Clinton police several times over the phone.  He promised to turn himself in while at other times he "taunted" the police.  Louisiana State Police arrested Polo at a New Orleans gas station.  Police found bullets in the truck that matched the bullets found at the crime scene and at his Foundry Lofts apartment.

Pastor Pickett has not been charged with accessory after the fact as Polo had been driving the truck since 2021. 

Edwards is currently held without bond at an undisclosed location.

Ooh. Pickett should be in deep shit. Isn't Pickett the one who was at Lumumba's "crime presser" (or blamed depending on how you look at it) while Stokes actually had the real crime presser.

Pastor Pickett should be indicted for accessory as well, and helped Polo run. He also got 1 million dollar contract from Lumumba to do Covid shots, and other bogus airport contracts. Wright and Martin should be investigated by the State Auditor, and Fed.

The reason we can’t get a handle on crime is because you have no idea who’s feeding the rats!

Have you ever seen a pastor next to a politician or a alleged dope dealer if he wasn’t getting a kickback!

Musky, swampy, solo:
Leave the girl alone.

No wonder he wouldn’t let me use his truck! It was polo’s truck! The pastor had it registered in his name. Just some food for thought!

My wife would not knowingly, let me, let another man drive my truck, especially if he killed someone and was on the run. What a web we have spun.

I know, I know, he was helping his flock!

Lord give me the strength.

Yes Pastor Pickett has been at the rallies and press conferences and he should be charged as an accessory!

Can you say Money Laundering (definition - disguising financial assets so they can be used without detection of illegal activities) . Now this is just the definition not saying the pastor did anything illegal.

How in the hell does a preacher afford a Ford F-450 that he can just give away???

The "pastor" is just a wolf in sheep's (pastor's) clothing. It's a cover.

I’m sure the pastor was helping a killer in need! Wonder did he stop by and get gas money!

Wonder what sermon/advice the pastor gave Polo after the killing, get your ass in that F 450 and run, take any street in Jackson and then get on the interstate because only two officers on duty. The rest are guarding the mayor.

9:33 you have no idea how much a church that size take in on Sunday. Enough to buy and give away a F450 every month after expenses.

Does it have a “clergy” designation on the vehicle? Most people using the pastoral tax break have them.

If Pickett is a pastor/Bishop (man of God) , I am a brain surgeon!

Say what you will about Polo, I see a damn good defense coming from FortnerIts -He said she said with overture of framing Polo.This ain't Tom's first rodeo.

The pastor probably not getting charged because he and the District Attorney are related. You knew actually where Polo was in his truck. This trial will be very interesting

This just doesn’t add up, why would my friend use my truck to flee after he kills someone. This fool knew I had to use my truck to take all that collection money to the bank.

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.
