The charges are piling up against former JPD officer Torrence Mayfield. A new indictment accuses Mayfield of acting as a straw buyer so he could purchase a firearm for a convicted felon.
A federal grand jury indicted Torrence Mayfield of selling a firearm to a convicted felon. Mayfield is the former police chief of Edwards. He ran for Hinds County Sheriff in 2021 in the special election. He served on former Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber's detail when he was in office.
The Justice Department obtained a superseding indictment that piles up more charges against Mayfield. The grand jury indicted him for selling a firearm to a convicted felon, making a false statement to a firearms dealer, and selling ammunition to a prohibited person. The indictment states on:
October 26, 2021, in Hinds County.... Torrence Donell Mayfield, in connection with the acquisition or attempted acquisition of a firearm from Momentum Pawn, Inc, a licensed dealer of firearms... knowingly made a false and fictitious written statement to Momentum Pawn, Inc., which statement was intended and likely to deceive Momentum Pawn, Inc. as to a fact material to the lawfulness of such acquisition of the said firearm to the defendant under Chapter 44 of Title 18 in that Torrence Donell Mayfield represented that he was the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm and was not acquiring the firearm on behalf of another person when answering box 21.a. on (ATF) Form 4473..... whereas in truth and in fact Torrence Donell Mayfield then knew he was not the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm and was acquiring the firearm on behalf of another person in violation of Title 18, U.S. Code, Sections 922(a)*(6) and 924(a)(2).
Mayfield allegedly sold the firearm to the felon on October 27, 2021.
The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Kristi Johnson. The defendant will be arraigned this afternoon at 2.

And people wonder why the police are disrespected.
I think that this was an impulse purchase with buyer's remorse and he decided to sell it the next day. Just a coincidence.
My boy might sell you a gun but he ain't gone shoot nobody.
Hunter Biden also lied on a 4473 form while purchasing a firearm, but he is just special.

If the pictures from Ukraine that were leaked from his laptop were any indication, he has committed and gotten away with a lot of crimes. And the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to little girls.
Hunter is not a sworn law officer, he didn’t sell his gun to anyone, much less a convicted felon.
Big deal... sounds like he pissed off the wrong people and they are now trying to take him down.
Guns are bought and sold illegally every day.
So in Hinds county we have cops conspiring with actual criminals, and in Rankin county we're torturing suspects.
(and none of this has anything to do with Hunter Biden).
“(and none of this has anything to do with Hunter Biden).”, that's true. For if it did, Biden's Department of Injustice would make sure the evidence would never see the light of day.
The justice system, in this country, is anything but just. The shining city on a hill, has become a den of iniquity, and continues the slide below third world status.
