Braxton Home was Den of Mayhem & Murder

Murder, domestic violence, and repeated-drug dealing took place over the years at a Braxton home where six Rankin County deputies stand accused of torturing two suspects. 

To say 135 Conerly Road is known to Rankin County deputies is an understatement.  JJ obtained police reports for all arrests at the address through a public records request.  The reports state:

 *February 20, 2023: Deputies arrested Shannon Norwood for aggravated domestic violence.  RCSO received a call that a man was choking a woman.  Deputies arrived at the home.  The victim was dating Shannon.  A friend came over to see the victim.  While they were talking in the room, Shannon allegedly kicked open the door and charged the victim.  He took away her pepper spray as she tried to defend herself. He grabbed her neck with both hands and held her up against the wall off of her feet. The police report states her throat had bruising and her voice was hoarse.  Norwood was on house arrest and wore an ankle monitor. 

*September 3, 2021: Deputies arrested Lenzie Braddy, Jr, 59 years old, for 1 count of sale/distribution of narcotics, i count of possession of drug paraphernalia, and possessing less than an ounce of marijuana.   The police report states deputies found 3.5 grams of meth, a bag of weed, scales, and bags for packaging drugs.  Braddy admitted the drugs were his.  

 

* May 27, 2021: Michael Jenkins reported an auto burglary to RCSO.  His 2016 Nissan Versa broke down on the side of Conerly Road in front of the home.  Someone gave Jenkins permission to move the car to the driveway.  Someone used a mechanized saw to enter the vehicle and also remove the catalytic converter. Jenkins was a frequent visitor to the home.  Deputies asked him for names of possible suspects but Jenkins would not cooperate. 

* March 25, 2021: Deputies arrested Braddy and Melvin Jenkins (45 years old) for the sale/manufacture of drugs.  Braddy was under indictment for drug charges at the time.  The report calls the home a "known problem house."  Braddy's room had several grams of meth, scales, and packaging.  Braddy tried to flee but was tasered.  Jenkins had a pipe and meth.  

* April 13, 2021: A 17 year old, O.W., was arrested for resisting arrest and possessing a controlled substance.  He admitted to smoking weed in the home.

*  January 19, 2021: Dantrell Hunter murdered Ashley McFarland by shooting her in the head.  He is serving 30 years in prison for a conviction of second degree murder.  Ashley Basham was arrested and charged as well but she is not in prison.  The fate of her case is unknown. 

* December 15, 2020: A caller said his fiance was held at gunpoint. However, there are no more records this incident nor was there an arrest. 

* July 21,2020: RCSO received a call that a "nephew" was threatening to harm himself.  Deputies and an ambulance went to the home.   

An officer-involved shooting took place at the home late on January 24.  An MBI press release states deputies were conducting a narcotics sweep when Michael Corey Jenkins allegedly displayed a gun.  A deputy allegedly shot Jenkins in self-defense.  Jenkins survived and was transported to the hospital for treatment of his wound.  

Jenkins and his fellow defendant, Eddie Parker held a press conference near UMC on February 15.  Jenkins' attorneys, Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker, aid no less than six white Rankin County deputies entered Eddie Parker's home at approximately 10 PM without a warrant.  He said the deputies forced their way into the home and "immediately subdued and handcuffed" Jenkins and Parker.  The two men did not resist in any way.  

"What happened after they were detained was a 90 minute-long intimidation and torture session," charged Shabazz. He claimed the deputies repeatedly punched, kicked, and abused both men while they were handcuffed.  Racial slurs were used.  Shabazz said they deputies pointed guns at the heads of both men.  The lawyer specifically called out Deputy Brent McAlpin and Deputy Christian Dedmon.  However, Jenkins' lawyer was not through in accusing the police of outrageous conduct.  

Shabazz said the deputies subjected the Parker and Jenkins to water-boarding techniques but used milk instead of water.  More torture followed the alleged milk-boarding as a deputy allegedly placed his gun inside Jenkins' mouth and pulled the trigger.  Jenkins sported a rather large bandage on the right side of his neck after he was released on February 14.  Shabazz said the bullet exited through that section of the neck.  Shabazz said Jenkins suffered permanent damage to his eye, cognitive damage, and other permanent injuries.

The Justice Department, FBI, and MBI are investigating the case as well.

Kingfish note: The deputies were obviously frustrated with the ongoings (not to be confused with downgoings) at the Braxton home for quite some time.  The question is whether they got stupid and went too far. Stay tuned because we are going to be hearing about this case quite a bit in the future.

I would say the actions the police are accused of are a bit more than “stupid”. Like this house had a reputation with the police, the Rankin County Sheriffs also have a reputation for heavy handed and illegal conduct. Would you care to write an article about that? There was even an article this week about how they broke the law and decided they didn’t need to follow FOIA requests.

I'm writing my own story about it. I'm not regurgitating MT's article.

Now 6 deputies will be added to the list of crimes.

When a person is in distress a search warrant is not required. It's called "exigent circumstances."

Shabazz is a racist lying hustler trying to cash in.

@3:14 - I thought the police said they were there for a drug raid. Did they not even have a warrant? Looks like Rankin County Sheriffs saw that list of crimes at the house and said hold my beer amateurs.

Allegations are piling up on this agency and I don’t mean with just this current shooting. This guy has ran his Dept like a dictator nothing black or white all gray! If any underling dare spoke up about wrong doing they were fired and then excommunicated from the metro LEO community. J.B. Torrence and Lloyd Jones don’t work anymore .

Hopefully at the end of this, rankin county sheriffs office will be taken over by the feds. They have a long history of lawlessness and it’s clearly engrained in the culture.

RCSO would hold their own against any gang in the state. They dgaf and know they have their fellow members to back them up no matter what they do. Decades of lawlessness and they will never change. These officers need to have their charges upgraded for their gang affiliation.

Whoah! You said Rankin. WHEW! I thought sure you wuz talking about Madison Count S.O. Those junior-league LEOs stick together like velcro and stick tighter when up against the wall and guilty.

I hope if what has been alleged did indeed occur, justice will be swift, they receive the punishment deserved, and never allowed to be a LEO ever again, in any capacity. Also, if the allegations against the deputies is proven to be untrue, I would hope they get just as much positive press clearing their names and their accusers held accountable for their actions. Sadly, these days, consequences for bad behavior (either way) seems to be an unheard of concept.

One more thing and I'll shut up. If I had to make an informed guess, with the exception of a couple of posts in this thread, the commenters appear to be people who have found themselves on the wrong side of the RCSO and didn't like how it turned out. If that be the case, all I can offer is maybe make better decisions next time. I think Forrest said it best, "Stupid is as stupid does." Of course, that applies to both sides.

Kudos to RCSO. That's what's wrong with our legal system. The punishment has not kept up with crime.

I’m thankful that RCSO steps up and tries to shut down drug houses like this. This is a nice, quiet neighborhood and those frequenting this house have wreaked havoc.

hey 4:07..JB Torrence and Llyod Jones are two of the best sheriffs to ever serve.

I live in Hinds County and I’ll be the first to say we need changes. We used to have a great SO but through color of skin it has become liberal. With Jackson being the murder capital of the US tells me that criminals are not scared of the law over here. Rankin is trying to keep that type of crime to a minimum. There will always be drugs and crime because that’s human nature nowadays but I’m packing up and moving soon to Rankin. My question is to those of you who don’t like the heavy handed justice in Rankin. Would you want your family to be protected by which SO, Hinds or Rankin?

Well, we need law and order. Sounds like that house was a haven for criminals. They should have just done it like the scene from Yellowstone where they took out the meth lab trailer.

The Town of Braxton is in Simpson....but there are mail routes that run out of Braxton into Rankin County.

7:34, Braxton itself is in Simpson county. This is a rural area in southeast Rankin county that is served by Brandon, Mendenhall, and Braxton post offices.

"Two wrongs don't make a right".

I expect those who enforce the law to respect the law and the law includes self-defense.
There is no just side to take if the Sheriff's department violated the law.
I'm waiting for facts and evidence.
But,if you want the law to allow " in kind" revenge without legal repercussions, I know some women who would be thrilled for a " get out of jail free" card.

I live in Rankin country but do not have to worry about them coming into my neighborhood. A meth dealer lives a couple of blocks from me. He always lets everyone know when the sheriffs office is going to send someone through our neighborhood. He gets a call from someone in the sheriffs office alerting him. Maybe those people should have gotten in touch with his person.

Anonymous said...

It sounds like Rankin County citizens support their law enforcement committing crimes. Maybe they should secede, that way the pesky constitution doesn’t prevent them from having their police state paradise.

Just wondering, apropos of nothing... Is it possible for law firms to contract for jailed Chinese Dissidents, to "help control Internet discourse"? Do the "three-letters" have slush funds for hiring "operatives" who'll litter the Internet with posts hostile to those targeted by Marxist law firms?

Do Marxist law firms keep interns busy, making posts hostile to those targeted by those firms? Do washed-up semi-retired old alcoholic lawyers with degrees from jokeschool law schools, hire-out, charging by-the-post, to litter the Internet with garbage posts against the targets of Marxist law firms?

Not that I'm saying the majority of the above posts seem to be from those sorts of entities or anything....

This area is home to a group of bad players. Two of my “former” employees live there and are felons. Both served time at Parchman. Both still deal and make drugs for the banditos and run a theft ring. Leave it to Rankin SO to get rid of this type of crap. They are sick and tired of having to deal with this scum. You would be too if you were in their shoes. They are doing us ALL a favor. Remember that when you keep drugs off the street you keep one less kid from getting hooked.

I have no problem with the state invoking capital police in Jackson.

I also have no problem with vigilante justice if that's what it takes to ensure civility and civilian safety. And if vigilantly justice bleeds over into our uniformed constabulary, so be it.

It's past time we quit coddling or ignoring meth-head criminals, gang-bangers and thugs set on destroying society.

If you don’t like the law enforcement in Rankin County, move to Hinds County. I could care less if they roughed some criminals up.

Anonymous said...

5:39 You seem to overlook the States with the highest murder and crime rates as well as RED cities... Little Rock, Milwaukee, Anchorage, Albuquerque and Rockford,IL.
You also seem to think that the State laws and funding have zero to do with crime. You overlook how long Biloxi was home to the Dixie Mafia. And, you currently overlook how in a State with a very small African American percentage, crime soared during GOP governorship ( see North Carolina...particularly the East of Raleigh and the mountains... the worst crime counties were always home to some of your favorite members of Congress over the years and home to the KKK and BUND).
Here's the truth: Crime and violence is directly related to poverty, brain dysfunction, poor education and/or addiction in EVERY RACE OR RELIGION.
Even our "evil" geniuses get caught eventually and could have just enjoyed being rich. Are you so poorly read or deluded that I have to name them?

Anonymous said...

10:14; Since you seem to be fond of numbers, perhaps you will cypher and report the number of Red (as opposed to Blue) large cities and states across America that are over-run by crime and have been for decades.

Will you suggest those facts (once you discover them) are simply parenthetical, happenstance, irrelevant, coincidental with democrat leadership and demographics?

Anonymous said...

@10:14 - You are spreading fake news, just like a good dem.

Anchorage - Blue - majority voted for Biden. Dem mayor.
Little Rock - Blue 60.5% voted for Biden
Milwaukee - Blue 76% voted for Biden
Albuquerque - Blue 61.3% voted for Biden
Rockford - Blue 50.3% voted for Biden

I guess I do need you to do that since you screwed up so royally on the cities you claim are 'red'.

I won't say you're 'poorly read' or 'deluded', but you did lie with your list.

Criminals are criminals! It’s just that simple! Who knows if they officers got to serious? I don’t believe so I bet after that incident at that house that things will settle down not be dangerous to the community! That’s all that matters in my book! We don’t have to fear for our lives like those in hinds county! The lack of leadership and proper management of law enforcement is why Jackson is trash and always will be!

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.
