Did Carlos clown again?
A woman sued the Capitol Police for $3 Million Friday in U.S. District Court. Sherita Harris claims Capitol Police Officer Mike Maldonado shot her in the head during a traffic stop in 2022 even though she was only a passenger in the vehicle. However, court documents indicate Maldonado might not have even been present at the traffic stop.
Ms. Harris said she was a passenger in a vehicle traveling north on North State Street on August 14, 2022 in downtown Jackson. The vehicle stopped at the intersection of Amite Street and North State Street. The complaint alleges the situation suddenly turned violent:
Defendant Maldonado approached the car from the rear. Immediately thereafter, Defendant Maldonado activated his police cruiser’s emergency lights and commanded the vehicle to pull over on the side of the road. 9. The vehicle complied with Defendant Maldonado’s commands. Shortly thereafter, Defendant Maldonado began to shoot into the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle attempted to drive away from Defendant Maldonado to escape the constant firing of bullets. 10. When the driver looked over to Plaintiff Harris, the driver noticed Plaintiff Harris slumped over in the passenger seat. Plaintiff Harris had suffered a bullet wound to the head. 11. An ambulance proceeded to take Plaintiff Harris to UMMC-Jackson. Plaintiff Harris required surgery to remove bullet fragments from her head. She remained in the hospital for approximately three (3) to four (4) days. 12. Because of Defendant Maldonado’s excessive force, Plaintiff Harris suffers severe complications with her speech, gait, and overall cognizant abilities.
The complaint charges Officer Maldonado with, assault, battery, negligence, violating the plaintiff's 4th Amendment rights through excessive force, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It charges the Capitol Police with failing to train and supervise the Capitol Police officer.
The complaint seeks $3 million. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Kristi Johnson.
WLBT reported on August 19, 2022:
The redacted incident report, provided by DPS’ legal department, identified 30-year-old Sinatra Rakim Jordan as the person now charged with a litany of crimes after apparently trying to leave during a traffic stop. On August 14, Capitol Police Capt. Michael Maldonado requested assistance from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation for an officer-involved shooting, which took place after “police response to a traffic stop in Hinds County,” the short summary reads. MBI, the lead agency in the case, listed on the report that Jordan is charged with disregard for traffic device, careless driving, driving while license suspended, and felony fleeing.
Attorney Carlos Moore, yes, the Carlos Moore, represents the plaintiff.
Kingfish Note: Is this another case of Carlos Moore beclowning himself? The Capitol Police charged Jordan with felony fleeing, possession of marijuana, and aggravated assault. The charging documents only state Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker as the arresting officer. It also states the incident took place on Lamar Street. The plot thickens.
A Hinds County grand jury indicted Jordan in March 2023 for felony fleeing and...drum roll..... aggravated assault. The indictment states:
(Count II) based upon a series of acts connected together and constituting parts of a common scheme and plan, said Sinatra Jordan being a male human being above the age of eighteen (18) years, did, on, and about the 14th day of August, 2022, in the county aforesaid and within the jurisdiction of this Court, did willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously, attempted to cause, or knowingly or recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life or purposely or knowingly caused bodily injury to Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker with a deadly weapon or other means likely to produce death or serious bodily harm, To-wit: Sinatra Jordan, attempted to cause serious bodily injury to Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker by shooting at him multiple times with a firearm, a deadly weapon at a time when Capitol Police Officer Jeffery Walker was acting in the course and scope of his duties as a Capitol Police Officer...(Count III) To-wit: Sinatra Jordan, attempted to cause serious bodily injury to Capitol Police Officer Rhine Walt by shooting at him multiple times with a firearm a deadly weapon at a time when Capitol Police Officer Rhine Walt was acting in the course and scope of his duties as a Capitol Police Officer
Maldonado is not even mentioned in the indictment. Did Carlos the Clown sue the wrong guy?

Carlos making stuff up??? Nooooooooooo. That can't be as a Former President of the National Bar Association. I just looked at his facebook page. He is claiming the Captain was the one that shot his client. What a clown.
Somebody is counting on a jury of their peers.
Maldonado ran for supervisor a while back. Nice guy.
It appears the lawsuit left out a few facts....
There is a new version of the old saying "lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas": "cruise around with thugs and wake up with lead poisoning"..
So typical.... Always looking for something for nothing.
Carlos just forgot to change the names on his police brutality lawsuit form. You know how it is when you get excited thinking you might finally get that big score... Then again, it's not the lawsuit anyway, it's the publicity. Someday Carlos is going to get the big one, then he'll get the facts straight. Just you wait.
Another legal angler looking for the right fishing hole. Trying to hook that big 1/3 contingency fee.
"overall cognizant abilities"... does he mean cognitive abilities? did anyone proofread that filing? good luck with this one, carlos!
Poor Carlos - he can't afford a law clerk to proofread his filings.
Carlos gonna clown-
“She remained in the hospital for approximately three (3) to four (4) days.”
Is it really that hard to know how many days she was actually in the hospital?
So the officer just started shooting for no apparent reason. Poor driver had to get the hell outta there because a police officer went berserk. And Carlos don't mind putting this stuff in writing. Amazing.
@3:24 - She may be unable to remember specifics due to the complications with her overall cognizant abilities. Maybe that's also why she forgot to include the minor detail that the driver of the car she was in (allegedly) fired at the officer first...
Carlos shouldn’t be allowed to practice law. Simple!!!
@1:31 PM is right on!
All Moore had to do is check MEC as I did for Sinatra Jordan. The Capitol Police warrants, affidavits, and the indictments were all there. They reported the names, addresses, and the shooting at the police officers.
Overheard after Carlos read the KF comment at 4:50 PM:
"What is MEC?"
Just like the mayor, all mouth, all scam and no truth.
I may have missed it, but did the police reports mention her being in the passenger's seat and having been shot in the head? What about the hospital records? They're discoverable. Did a UMMC psychiatrist note her lack of cognizantal recomolection?
Officer should sue Carlos for defaming him!
Wish Fingers was here to grace us with his version of "Shot in the Head by the Capitol Police."
Everyone jumping on band wagon and believing the Capitol Police version of events? No questions asked? FYI CP are the new Goon Squad. I know Maldanado personally and he’s a good guy but would never turn in a fellow officer.
We are lucky to have Capitol Police in Jackson.
11:58, Amen, vs anarchy.
"Fly me to the moon .... Let me play among the stars ....."
What law school gave this airhead a law degree?
