Officer Dope Still a Dope

 The Ridgeland Police Department issued the following statement. 

Wednesday, February 22, 2023, at approximately 7:06pm, while patrolling, a Ridgeland officer observed a vehicle driving west on East County Line Road with one headlight out.  The officer stopped the vehicle, approached and smelled the odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle.  One handgun, open containers of alcohol and marijuana were found in the glove box.  A Jackson Police Department badge was also located in the vehicle.  Kenya McCarty was arrested and charged with Possession of Marijuana 1st Offense, Possession of a Firearm while in Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Open Container.  McCarty was released on a $2,500.00 bond.




Kingfish note: McCarty just can't seem to stay out of trouble. Remember this 2021 Flowood Police press release? 


Well, Officer Dope got herself in trouble yet again.  Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba announced two weeks ago that he fired McCarty due to her involvement in the death of  41-year-old Keith Murriel, who died in police custody at a private home on 572 E. Beasley Road.

Why does this not surprise me?

Am I interpreting this correctly? A person cannot have a legal prescription for a controlled substance and a legally purchased firearm in their vehicle at the same time. How can citizens keep up with all of these laws? I understand the pot and the opened container of alcohol charges.

She and her companions should have been fired after the first pot incident. I guess they received internal blessings, the Jackistan way.

@4:15 PM - read it again - it says "while ILLEGALLY in possession of a controlled substance."

Wow....he pulled this in Ridgeland. They don't play. He could have ridden all over Jackson and never been bothered.

She still has her JPD badge, which could be impersonating a police officer, as she had previously been fired.

This is a good example why we need the capitol police to expand.

Still a cop? Or they forgot to take his badge?

Why would any PD have ever hired the likes of her?

You can not be in possession of a firearm regardless of having a Mississippi medical Prescription. Just wait till folks start getting locked up for lying on the ATF forms when they purchase a firearm.

1) @ 4:27 - She is not a He.

2) Cap PoPo don't patrol county line headed west as that's Madison County, Ridgeland PoPo jurisdiction.

3) Who fires an LEO and does not retrieve their PD issued weapon, badge and uniform insignia?

4) 5:54 - What the fuck are you talking about?

----------------------
Actually, yes you can. Having legally prescribed medical cannabis and a firearm, both in your possession is not a criminal offense in this state.

Nor is having an open container and a firearm in the same vehicle at the same time a criminal offense. The open container violation stands alone. No law against having a firearm in the vehicle unless you're committing a crime or are a convicted felon.

Never give LEO permission to search your vehicle, or, in this case, your glove box.

I'm not defending this hoochie-coochie gal, but it is what it is.

Have you ever purchased a firearm through an ffl? Did you lie on Form 4473 question 11 part e? If so that's a felony.

Just because it's not illegal by the state doesn't mean it isn't a federal felony.

5:54 is talking about answering question 21:e on form 4473, which is the ATF form that is required to be filled out when buying a new or used firearm from a licensed dealer, which states:

"Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? WARNING: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside."

I believe (actually I know) that submitting the form with false statements on it is a violation of Federal law with a possible penalty of up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Will they enforce it? I do not know if they ever will, but technically it's pretty clear that if you filled out the form and didn't disclose the marijuana use you certainly could have a problem if they did, as it explicitly states you're a prohibited person.

ATF Form 4473 was revised December, 2022. The new form, at section 21(g) asks the following question:

"Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside."

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/atf-form-4473-firearms-transaction-record-revisions

So, even if you are a lawful using of marijuana under state law, you remain an unlawful user under federal law. If you lie to the ATF to purchase a firearm . . .

When all the medical card folks finally realize they can not legally purchase/possess a firearm anymore....HA

Fired from JPD, which is hard to do, and still has her badge? How in this good green world does that happen? Yet another slip of the Jackson powers that be?

Just like Amazon, they'll take anybody.

Wait a minute The good Mayah fired her 2 weeks ago? I didn't know it was the Mayor's job to fire police officers.

Now we know who runs JPD. As if we didn't already know. Why does James Davis draw a $100K salary? Inquiring minds would like to know.

18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3):

(g) It shall be unlawful for any person—

(3) who is an unlawful user of [under federal law] or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802));

to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.


ATF open letter here:

However, note that several U.S. district courts and U.S. circuit courts of appeal have weighed in on this issue, with rulings in both directions.

Not so fast said...

A federal judge recently held that marijuana users can't be banned from owning firearms. This decision will likely be cited many times in future cases.

@11:00 PM
What if a person didn’t fill out an ATF Form 4473, and instead legally manufactured their own firearms?
A federal judge has already ruled that a medical marijuana prescription doesn’t deny a citizen their 2A rights!
Why are you statist RINOs so obsessed with denying liberty to cannabis consumers, but not alcoholics?
I am sure you know that the ATF Form 4473 also asks if you are a drunk.
How many alcoholics with DUIs on their record are still buying guns?

'Just because it's not illegal by the state doesn't mean it isn't a federal felony.'

Is Uncle Joe going to hire 4000 new federal marshals to police marijuana use in the various states?

Nobody in Mississippi will be arrested or cited for having a loaded firearm in his vehicle and while possessing properly purchased and controlled cannabis, while producing his state issued Medical Cannabis card.

Odd. When she was arrested in Flowood, some of her supporters based Flowood PD for "over policing" and FPD "...needed to find something better to do with their time...". Now, she's been fired for her connection with an officer involved death, and finally, arrested for illegal possession, possession of a fire arm and still has her JPD badge!!
I wonder if her supporters are going to bash Ridgeland PD now?
Was Flowood PD right all along?
Tune in tomorrow for another episode of "As JPD Turns"

JPD is desperate. If you can breathe they will give you a job. We called them a few times and a fat woman always showed up. She was good for filing a report. Nothing else

8:11, I don't know about policing those in possession of firearms, but there are already plenty of feds to police those who lie on the ATF form to purchase firearms. They are call ATF Agents.

Many agencies hire unarmed CSOs (Community Service Officers) who take reports. This wouldn't work well in Jackistan because they would get robbed and their JPD vehicle jacked.

12:45 PM, those ATV agents you are talking about do not police everyone who lie on ATV forms. Maybe there are quite a few Hunters filling out the forms.

12:45 - If you knew what you were talking about, you might be expected to prove what you're claiming. You don't and you can't.

Give evidence of ONE (just one) person ever convicted in this state for falsifying an answer on a gun-purchase application.

8:11 you are making a very broad statement for a large number of jurisdictions about "what won't happen" ---- in any village, town, city, or county of this Great State.

And, if they are in their car, with their "medical" license, they better not be under the influence of their "medicine". Just as they can't be driving their car under the influence of any prescription medication.

Firearm or not.

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.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
