Friends Give Polo Thousands While in Jail

Never let it be said Polo's friends abandoned him while he sits in jail.  Pastor Dewayne Pickett, Toni Johnson, and Sudie Teague Jones each deposited over $1,000 into Polo's commissary account as  he awaits trial for murder.

A Hinds County grand jury indicted Edwards for the murder of Robert Davis in May 2022 and for being a felon in possession of a firearm. His trial on the charges ended in a mistrial last month. Edwards is being held without bond. Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens said he will seek another trial for Edwards. 

JJ submitted a public records request for a list of deposits into Polo's commissary account since he was incarcerated at the Rankin County jail in May 2022. The records state Polo's friends and family deposited $16,512 in his commissary account.  Friends and family providing funds for commissary items and phone calls in jail are nothing new.  However, what is interesting is who is giving money to Edwards while he stands accused of murder in the first degree: Reverend Dewayne Pickett, Toni Johnson, and Sudie Teague Jones of Facebook fame.  

Toni Johnson deposited $1,568 in his account over 27 payments ($55 average). The payments ranged from $30 to $160.  

Pastor Pickett deposited $1,371 over 12 payments ($114 average).  The payments ranged from $50 to $220.  Edwards worked for Pastor Pickett before the death of Robert Davis.  Police caught him in New Orleans after the murder in a vehicle owned by Pastor Pickett. 

Sudie Teague Jones deposited $1,104 over 14 payments into Polo's commissary account.  Jones pleaded guilty to five counts of fraud and one count of bribery after she, Toni Johnson, and three other defendants were caught embezzling from a $2 million grant given to the Hinds County Election Commission.  


 Other depositers are: 

Doreece Edwards: $5,668

Darcel Odom: $2,106

William Davis: $1,828

Khaliah Edwards: $610

Khadjah Edwards: $51

Lisa Daniels: $775

Imago Bey: $690

Kiniah Harris: $160 

Antoinette James: $100

Joshua McLaurin: $331

Plavise Patterson: $120

Kenneth Crumbley: $26

Phone purchase: $7,281

Commissary purchase: $4,452

What's the per minute phone charge he's paying?

He has $7,000 for phone calls yet the County is paying for his attorney because he is indigent?

"OK? Is any of this illegal? If not why care about it?"

Because these people are scum or ignorant dupes until proven otherwise.

2:15 you got something there!

Pastor, what are you? You’re a fraud! No one voted for you bc your corrupt.

Toni Johnson should picked up for violating her Probation and House Arrest agreement, not being around or having no dealings with a convicted felon. Sudie is violating the law as well.

Toni Johnson has not violated something she is not on. @ 5:48 p.m. we know you and your little group helped encourage this article. A grown person can donate funds to whomever they would like. Does what Toni Johnson eat, make you poop? This comment screams obsession. Find where she has been around a convicted felon who has been in jail for almost 2 years??

Pickett is an insult to God, a possible lightening magnet?

Say what y'all want, but I'm impressed. The man's got game.

1:28 I don’t think he is housed in Hinds County where he can walk to the store across Hwy 18 in Raymond and get what he needs and back to his cell before the officers wake up!

7:00 - I guess since Toni can't go to the facility and see Polo, she has been unable to deliver to him a nice new 66" Zuckerberg flat screen. Certainly couldn't have her violating her HA agreement in such a way that would probably be on some sort of video - unlike going out to eat at some of our finer establishments in the capitol city.

Patty Patterson giving Polo money 💰

KF , what happened to the appeal he was allegedly sending to the Supreme Court over his denial of bond after mistrial?

Anonymous said...

If the guy is getting a free lawyer this should be presented to the judge and the judge needs to rule on this immediately.

Is this not a conflict of interest? Picket is a witness for the state testifying against the thug edwards.

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.
