Hostage-Taking Escapee Gets 60 Years

Rankin-Madison District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement. 

Madison and Rankin Counties' District Attorney Bubba Bramlett has announced that convicted felon Shunekndrick Huffman, who escaped the Mississippi Department of Corrections in August 2022, pled guilty to two counts of kidnapping. Circuit Court Judge Steve Ratcliff sentenced Huffman to 60 years in the Mississippi Department of Corrections, with 40 of those years to be served in the state prison. 

On August 25, 2022, Huffman escaped from the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl, MS, where he was serving a seven-year sentence for aggravated assault and was scheduled to be released in December. Huffman escaped on foot and broke into a nearby home, holding the homeowner and two daughters at gunpoint for hours. Huffman then stole one of the hostages’ cars before wrecking and taking off on foot toward the nearby Mississippi State Hospital campus. Over a hundred local law enforcement officials surrounded the area, and Huffman was quickly apprehended after being found hiding inside a trash can near one of the campus homes. 





Huffman was sentenced to 30 years, with 20 years being served and the last ten suspended for one count of kidnapping. He was also sentenced to an additional 30 years, with 20 years being served and the last ten suspended for another count of kidnapping. Upon release, Huffman will be placed on five years of supervised probation. Both sentences are to run consecutive to one another. 

District Attorney Bubba Bramlett stated, “The excellent and efficient work and cooperation of MDOC officials, state officials, the Pearl Police Department, Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, and other agencies involved in this tense manhunt led to the successful apprehension of this escaped convict.”

I've heard that 15 will get you 20, but I ain't never heard that 4 months early will get you 20. Dayum. Mebbe they should have just tossed him in the criminal cage at Whitfield as he must be crazy.

He doesn't look too remorseful.

How appropriate that he ended up in a garbage can.

I wonder how much that “property near the prison that he broke out of” would cost if put on the Rankin county market?

Why even bother with pretending to sentence him to 30 years if you are going to suspend a third of the sentence?

Cover for the court on appeal would be my guess, as if it considered every conceivable circumstance and applied every available balancing standard before sticking it to the criminal. Peel back all the mental and mathematical gymnastics and in the end you’ve got two 30 year consecutive sentences. In any event, in Hinds County, he’d prob be out on $10k bond awaiting a trial that may or may not ever happen. Wonder where he got the gun between the breakout and the breakin? If he escaped from the jail unabetted and promptly committed a home invasion, did he just happen to stumble across a loaded weapon on the way from point A to point B, or did he seize it from the homeowner? I don’t know why I’m curious about that. Maybe I missed something.

Oops my bad. 40 years, not 60. Not that it has anything to do with 60 minus xyz, but the consecutive 20 years “being served” threw me off a bit. Isn’t it usually “to be served?” I mean, I get he’s in custody (time served or whatever) but how is he already serving a sentence that just got handed down?

I only had 4 more months of free room and board left for this guy. Now, I will pay for 40 years free room, board, and top notch medical care. I sure hope whoever he kidnapped does a lot of societal contribution in the future.

Bubba must issue a press release every day. His horn should. Be tired from all the tootin.

This incident pretty much sums up the mentality of a criminal.

90 days to go and he turns it into 60 years.

Our prisons are full of this type.

That hair makes me wonder if he is more a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog or Goku from Dragon Ball Z.

I'm sure the innocent folks he kidnapped/held hostage at gunpoint for hours understand why you would make this about how YOU have been injured. I'm sure they are remorseful for your loss and will make full restitution by their "societal contributions in the future." I suppose you are glad they weren't murdered only because they still have a future to care for you, you miserable POS.

A man will try almost anything to keep from being evicted from his home. Probably the first time he had a roof over his head and plenty of food to eat. Never had to work. Just lay around in the AC watching tv. He was forced to do something so he could stay on the gravy train.

That's a great ROI. He turned 4-months into 40-years.

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.
